skin and result in serious injury or

death.

Be sure to stop the engine and

relieve hydraulic pressure before

doing any work on hydraulic parts.

Keep body and hands away from

pin holes or nozzles which expel

hydraulic fluid when under

pressure. Use paper or cardboard,

not hands, to search for leaks.

Ensure all hydraulic fluid

connections are tight and all

hydraulic hoses and lines are in

good condition before applying

pressure to system.

FOREIGN FLUID INJECTED

INTO BODY can result in

gangrene. Fluid must be surgically

removed within a few hours by a

doctor familiar with this form of

injury.
