WARNING FIG. 9: High pressure fluid
hazard. To prevent serious injury or
death:
Relieve pressure on system before
repairing, adjusting or disconnecting.

when searching for leaks. Use wood or
cardboard instead of hands.
Keep all components in good repair.
Ensure that all hydraulic connections are tight.
Relieve all pressures before disconnecting hoses or
lines. Escaping oil under pressure can cause serious
injury.
All fluids should be handled with care. If you are
injured by or swallow any fluid, seek medical attention
immediately and show the label on the product.
Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost
invisible and can penetrate the skin causing serious
injury. Keep hands and body away from pin holes and
nozzles which eject fluids under high pressure. When
checking for leaks always use a piece of cardboard or
wood. Never use your hands to find a pressure leak.
If ANY fluid is injected into the skin, it must be attended
to by a doctor immediately.
