Battery acid is poisonous and can cause burns. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Protect your face,
eyes, and clothing when working with a battery.

Keep your body and hands away from pinhole leaks
or nozzles that eject high-pressure hydraulic fluid. Use

your hands. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury requiring surgery within
a few hours by a qualified surgeon; otherwise, gangrene
may result.
