blindness or death. Fluid leaks under pressure may not
be visible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to find
leaks, not your hand. Wear a face shield or safety
goggles for eye protection. If uid is injected into the
skin, it must be removed within a few hours by medical
personnel familiar with this type of injury. (See page 39,
Hydraulic System Hazards.)
