Avoid High-Pressure Fluids - Hitachi ZAXIS 70 Operator's Manual

AVOID HIGH-PRESSURE FLUIDS

Fluids such as diesel fuel or hydraulic oil under pressure
can penetrate the skin or eyes causing serious injury,
blindness or death.
•
Avoid this hazard by relieving pressure before dis-
connecting hydraulic or other lines.
•
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
•
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard; take care
to protect hands and body from high-pressure fluids.
Wear a face shield or goggles for eye protection.
•
If an accident occurs, see a doctor familiar with this
type of injury immediately. Any fluid injected into the
skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or
gangrene may result.
