HIGH PRESSURE FLUIDS
1. Do not remove radiator filler cap when coolant
temperature is around its boiling point. At that time
loosen cap slightly to the stop to relieve any ex-
cess pressure before removing cap completely.
2. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious
personal injury. Before disconnecting lines, be
sure to relieve all pressure. Before applying pres-
sure to the system, be sure that all connections
are tight and that lines, pipes and hoses are not
damaged. Fluid escaping from a very small hole
can be almost invisible. Don’t use hands to
search for suspected leaks, but use a piece of
cardboard or wood. If injured by escaping fluid,
see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction
can develop if proper medical treatment is not
administered immediately.
