Hydraulic Fluid Injection Hazard
WARNING! Accidental injection of pressurized fluid
into the hands or body is dangerous and could result in
death or serious injury.
Use caution when checking
hydraulic leaks as pressurized hydraulic fluid has
enough force to penetrate skin, causing serious
personal injury.
If a leak is discovered:
• Ensure engine is turned off; relieve pressure in
hydraulic circuit.
• Wear proper hand and eye protection.
• Visually examine the hydraulic hose or fluid lines in
the vicinity of the leak for breaks or cracks. Do not
use your hand to check for leaks.
• Repair or replace hydraulic lines per manufacturer’s
recommendation.
Fluid injection injuries are not always obvious. Victims
have reported such injuries feel like a bee sting or
splinter under the skin. If you suspect you have a fluid
injection injury, do not take chances. Seek proper
medical care immediately. If any fluid is injected into the
skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by
a doctor familiar with this type of injury.
