WARNING:
HYDRAULIC FLUID UNDER
PRESSURE can penetrate skin and cause
severe burns that can result in death or serious
injury. ALWAYS keep body and hands away
from pin holes or nozzles which eject hydraulic
fluid under pressure. ALWAYS use paper or
cardboard and not hands to search leaks. Know
that all hydraulic fluid connections are tight and
all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good
condition BEFORE applying pressure to the
system. Foreign fluid injected into the skin must
be surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with this form of injury or
gangrene may result.
