WARNING: Lifting incorrectly can cause
severe injury or machine damage.
HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS
FIG. 63: Avoid contact with high-pressure fluids.
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate skin
causing serious injury.
Machine must be stopped and cooled before checking
fluids. Use caution when removing radiator caps, plugs,
grease fittings or pressure taps.
Never open pressure lines under pressure. Release all
pressure before doing maintenance or repairs on any
pressurized system.
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
FIG. 64: Search for leaks with a piece of wood or
cardboard. Protect hands and body from high pressure
fluids. Do not use hands.
Never open hydraulic or fuel lines when under
pressure. Hydraulic fluid or diesel fuel under pressure
can cut skin, cause bad burns, eye injury or skin
irritation.
If an accident does occur, get medical help immediately
if any personnel are injured by hydraulic fluid or fuel.
Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should
reference a knowledgeable medical source.
