NEVER check for leaks with your hand. Leaks can be located by holding a
piece of cardboard or wood (at least two feet long) with your hand at one end

for discoloration of the cardboard or wood.

NEVER adjust the pressure setting of the pump or valve.

If injured by escaping fluid, no matter how small the wound is, see a doctor at
once. A typical injection injury may be a small puncture wound that does not
look serious. However, severe infection or reaction can result if proper
medical treatment is not administered immediately by a doctor who is familiar
with injection injuries.
