being performed.

Pressurized fluids can penetrate the skin.
Hydraulic hoses can fail from age, damage and exposure.
Do not search for hydraulic leaks without body and face protection. A tiny,
almost invisible leak can penetrate the skin, requiring immediate medical
attention.
Use wood or cardboard to detect hydraulic leaks, never your hands.
Spilled hydraulic fluid is slippery and may also present a fire
hazard.
Clean up spilled hydraulic fluid.
Normally, scissor lifts will require very little maintenance. However, a routine maintenance program
could prevent costly replacement of parts and/or downtime.
