Lower rotor to ground, engage parking brake, shut off engine
and lockout engine controls before servicing.
6.2.9 Avoid High Pressure Fluids
^ WARNING
Pressurized uids can penetrate the skin.
Hydraulic hoses can fail from age,
damage and exposure.
Use body and face protection while
searching for leaks. A tiny, almost
invisible leak can penetrate the skin,
thereby requiring immediate medical
attention.
Use wood or cardboard to detect
hydraulic leaks, never use your hands.
Escaping uid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing
serious injury.
Prevent the hazard by relieving pressure before connecting or
disconnecting hydraulic lines. Verify all connections are tight
before applying pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard or wood.
Protect hands and body from high pressure uids. If an
accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any uid injected
into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or
serious infection may result.
Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a
knowledgeable medical source.
