Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
• Keep hands and body away from pin-holes and nozzles
which eject fluids under high pressure.
• If ANY fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically
removed within a few hours by a Doctor familiar with this
type of injury or gangrene may result.
