hydraulic hoses or fittings.

leak. Flesh injected with hydraulic fluid may develop gangrene or other permanent disabilities.

• If injured by injected fluid, see a doctor at once. If your doctor is not familiar with this type of injury,

ask him to research it immediately to determine proper treatment.

for hydraulic leaks. DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS! SEE ILLUSTRATION.
