IMPORTANT: When disassembling hydraulic lines
make sure hydraulic plugs are placed in the open
end of the hydraulic line to prevent foreign debris
from contaminating hydraulic oil. It is also a good
idea to tag the hydraulic lines when disassembling
so they can be properly reassembled. Keep all hy-
draulic lines clean and free from foreign debris.
During replacement of lift cylinder, avoid overtight-
ening fittings. Check hydraulic lines for cracks or
breaks. If a hydraulic leak should appear after re-
placement of lift cylinder, replace the fitting or line
that is leaking. Check hydraulic reservoir for level
of hydraulic fluid after replacement of lift cylinder.
