Liquids under pressure
Escaping high pressure hydraulic fluid can
penetrate into the body through the skin and
cause serious personal injuries. A hole the size
of a needle can already result in serious personal
injuries.
Before you uncouple the hydraulic hose lines
or check for damage,
depressurise the hydraulic system.
If you suspect damage on a pressure system,
have the pressure system checked by a
qualified specialist workshop.
Never look for leaks with your bare hands.
Keep your body and face away from leaks.
If liquids penetrate the body,
consult a doctor immediately.
