Avoid High-Pressure Fluids - Hitachi ZAXIS 450LC-3 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
disconnecting 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.
