WARNING
DO NOT check leaks with hands while system is operating as high pressure oil leaks can be
dangerous! If skin is pierced with hydraulic
fl
uid at high pressure seek immediate medical
attention as
fl
uid injected into the skin could cause gangrene if left untreated. Relieve
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines or working system. Make sure all hydraulic
fl
uid connections are tight and all hydraulic hoses and lines are in good condition before
applying pressure to the system. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems.
