Avoid High-Pressure Fluids
Releasing fluid or fluid leaking from the hydraulic
system or the fuel injection system under high
pressure can be very hard to see. The fluid can go
into the skin causing serious injury.
Fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours. If not removed
immediately, serious infection or reaction can
develop. Go immediately to a doctor who knows
about this type of injury.
The machine must be stopped and cooled before
checking fluids. Use caution when removing
radiator caps, plugs, grease fittings or pressure
taps.
Never open pressure lines when they are under
pressure. Release all pressure before doing
maintenance or repairs on any pressurized system.
Prevent the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all
connections securely before applying pressure.

When searching for leaks, use a piece of wood or
cardboard. Protect hands and body from high
pressure fluids. Do not use your hands.
Never open hydraulic lines or fuel lines when they
are under pressure. Hydraulic fluid or diesel fuel
under pressure can cut the skin, cause bad burns,
eye injury, skin irritation, or gangrene.
If an accident does occur, get medical help
immediately if any personnel are injured by
hydraulic fluid or fuel.
Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene can
occur.
Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury must
refer to a knowledgeable medical source.

Never heat by welding, soldering or using a torch
near pressurized fluid lines or other flammable
materials.
Pressurized lines can be accidentally cut when
heat goes beyond the immediate flame area from
torch cutting or arch welding.
Flammable spray can be generated by heating near
pressurized fluid lines, resulting in severe burns to
personnel and bystanders.
