skin it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-
grene may result. Keep body and hands away from pin holes or nozzles that eject hydraulic uid under
high pressure. Use paper or cardboard, and not hands, to search for leaks. Make sure all hydraulic uid
connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure
