Bodily injury hazard. This
procedure requires specific repair
skills, lifting equipment and a
suitable workshop. Attempting this
procedure without these skills and
tools could result in death or
serious injury and significant
component damage. Dealer
service is required.
When removing a hose assembly
or fitting, the O-ring on the fitting
and/or hose must be replaced and
then torqued to specification
during installation. Refer to
Section Two, Hydraulic Hose and
Fitting Torque Specifications.

link (index #1) at the hydraulic tank side of the
