8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8.14 HYDRAULIC HOSES _________________________________________________________ WARNING To prevent injury from the hot, high pressure oil, never use your hands to check for oil leaks. Use the paper or cardboard to find leaks. The hydraulic fluid pressure can have enough force to enter your skin. If hydraulic fluid has entered your skin, a doctor must remove the hydraulic fluid surgically within a few hours or gangrene can occur.
Page 77 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8 8.15 TYRES ______________________________________________________________ Keep the tyres correctly inflated to increase tyre life. Inspect the tread wear. Check the tyre pressure each day, while the tyres are cool. Use an accurate low-pressure tyre gauge. Keep tyres inflated at the correct pressure (see section 8.1) CAUTION DO NOT try to put a tyre on a rim unless you have the correct training, tools and experience.
