PRODUCT SAFETY

USE CARE WITH HYDRAULIC FLUID PRESSURE
Hydraulic fl uid under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury or
death. Hydraulic leaks under pressure may not be visible. Before connecting or
disconnecting hydraulic hoses, read your prime mover’s operator’s manual for
detailed instructions on connecting and disconnecting hydraulic hoses or fi ttings.
• Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as far away as
possible from a suspected leak. Flesh injected with hydraulic fl uid may develop
gangrene or other permanent disabilities.
• If injured by injected fl uid, 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.
• Wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and use a piece of cardboard or wood
when searching for hydraulic leaks. DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS! SEE ILLUSTRATION.
