Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure from a very small hole can be
almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood to search for
possible leaks.
Never use your hands to detect pressure leaks.
Hydraulic tank temperature can reach 180

F maximum.
Qualified personnel only. No untrained operators. Serious injury may
occur.
