12. If a hydraulic leak develops, correct it
immediately. Escaping hydraulic oil can have
extremely high pressure. A stream of high
pressure oil may easily penetrate the skin as
with modern needle-less vaccination
equipment - but with the exception that
hydraulic fluid may cause blood poisoning. It
is imperative that the connections are tight
and that all lines and pipes are in good
condition. If an injury is caused by the
escaping hydraulic fluid, see doctor at once!
13. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to detect
leaks of hydraulic oil under pressure.
14. Be sure to relieve all hydraulic pressure before
disconnecting any lines or pipes between the
implement and the tractor hydraulic system.
Keep all guards and shields in place.
