Figure 4.15: Hydraulic Pressure Hazard
WARNING
• Avoid high-pressure fluids. Escaping fluid can penetrate the
skin causing serious injury. Relieve pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines.
• Tighten all connections before applying pressure. Keep
hands and body away from pin-holes and nozzles which
eject fluids under high pressure.
• If ANY fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically
removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this
type of injury or gangrene may result.
• Use a piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks.

IMPORTANT:
Keep the hydraulic coupler tips and the connectors clean. Dust,
dirt, water and foreign material are the major causes of hydraulic
system damage. Do NOT attempt to service the hydraulic system
in the field. Precision fits require WHITE ROOM CARE during
overhaul.
