Installation

Warning

Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury.

  • Seek immediate medical attention if fluid is injected into skin. Injected fluid must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor.

  • Ensure that all hydraulic-fluid hoses and lines are in good condition and all hydraulic connections and fittings are tight before applying pressure to the hydraulic system.

  • Keep your body and hands away from pin-hole leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure hydraulic fluid.

  • Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.

  • Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic system before performing any work on the hydraulic system.
