When searching for leaks, use a piece of wood or
cardboard. Protect hands and body from high
pressure fluids. Do not use your hands.
Never open hydraulic lines or fuel lines when they
are under pressure. Hydraulic fluid or diesel fuel
under pressure can cut the skin, cause bad burns,
eye injury, skin irritation, or gangrene.
If an accident does occur, get medical help
immediately if any personnel are injured by
hydraulic fluid or fuel.
Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene can
occur.
Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury must
refer to a knowledgeable medical source.

Never heat by welding, soldering or using a torch
near pressurized fluid lines or other flammable
materials.
Pressurized lines can be accidentally cut when
heat goes beyond the immediate flame area from
torch cutting or arch welding.
Flammable spray can be generated by heating near
pressurized fluid lines, resulting in severe burns to
personnel and bystanders.

Rapid release of fluids from pressurized cooling
systems can cause serious burns.
Shut off the engine. Remove the filler cap only
when the filler cap is cool enough to touch with
bare hands. Slowly, loosen the filler cap to the first
stop to relieve any pressure before removing the
cap completely.
