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 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.
