hydraulic system before searching for leaks, disconnecting hoses, or performing any other
work on the system. If you must pressurize the system to find a suspected leak, use an object
such as a piece of wood or cardboard rather than your hands. When loosening a fitting where
some residual pressure may exist, slowly loosen the fitting until oil begins to leak. Wait for
leaking to stop before disconnecting the fitting. Fluid injected under the skin must be
removed immediately by a surgeon familiar with this type of injury.
