10 safeTy PrecauTions - General informaTion
Escaping uid under pressure can have
sufcient force to penetrate the skin causing
serious personal injury. Fluid escaping from a
very small hole can be almost invisible. Use a
piece of cardboard or wood, rather than hands to
search for suspected leaks. Keep unprotected
body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as
far away as possible from a suspected leak.
Flesh injected with hydraulic uid may develop
gangrene or other permanent disabilities.
If injured by injected fluid, see a
doctor at once. If your doctor is not
familiar with this type of injury,
ask him to research it immediately
to determine proper treatment.
