Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the
skin causing serious personnel injury. Avoid the
hazard by relieving system pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines. Tighten all
connections before applying pressure. Keep
hands and body away from pinholes which eject
fluid under high pressure. Wear protective
gloves and safety glasses when working with
hydraulics. Use a piece of cardboard or paper,
not body parts to search/check for leaks. If an
accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any
fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may
result.
Install both transport locks before attempting to
service, adjust, or transport raised equipment.
