CAUTION!
Escaping fluid under pres-
sure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin.
Check all hydraulic lines and hoses BEFORE applying
pressure. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be
almost invisible. Use paper or cardboard, NOT BODY
PARTS, to check for suspected leaks. If injured, seek
medical assistance from a doctor that is familiar with this
type of injury. Foreign fluids in the tissue must be surgi-
cally removed within a few hours or gangrene will result.

plements on the highway. Always maintain complete con-
trol of the machine.
