HYDRAULIC SAFETY

1.Hydraulic fluid is under high pressure. If you need service on your hydraulic system, please see your dealer.

WARNING:

Keep body and hands away from pin holes or nozzles that eject fluid under high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, not hands, to search for leaks.

Hydraulic fluid escaping under high pressure may have sufficient force to penetrate your skin and cause serious injury. If fluid is injected into your skin, a physician familiar with this form of injury must re- move it surgically within a few hours or gangrene may result.

2.Make sure all hydraulic fluid connections are tight and all hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure to the system.
