Warning
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury; otherwise, gangrene may result.
-
Keep your body and hands away from pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure hydraulic fluid.
-
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks; never use your hands.
