HYDRAULIC FLUID
Handling Precautions
PERSONS IN REGULAR CONTACT WITH MINERAL-BASED
HYDRAULIC FLUID NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF
THOROUGH HYGIENE, AND THE PROPER METHODS FOR
HANDLING MINERAL OILS IN ORDER TO AVOID POTENTIAL
HAZARDS TO HEALTH.
If mineral- based hydraulic fluid is SPLASHED INTO THE EYES, it must be WASHED OUT
THOROUGHLY using abundant quantities of water. If irritation persists, medical advice should be
sought.
HYDRAULIC FLUID UNDER PRESSURE CAN PENETRATE AND
BURN SKIN, DAMAGE EYES, AND MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY
OR BLINDNESS.
FLUID LEAKS UNDER PRESSURE MAY NOT ALWAYS BE VISIBLE.
