AVOID HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS
•
Fluids such as diesel fuel or hydraulic oil under pressure can
penetrate the skin or eyes causing serious injury, blindness
or death.
• Avoid this hazard by relieving pressure before disconnect
-
ing hydraulic or other lines.
• Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
• Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard; take care to
protect hands and body from high-pressure fluids. Wear a
face shield or goggles for eye protection.
• If an accident occurs, see a doctor familiar with this type
of injury immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few hours or gan-
grene may result.
