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
