damage to pump by allowing air to be drawn
into pump. Fluid will become foamy. Refer to
''Initial Preparation'' in the Operation section of
this manual.
2. Changing the relief valve setting or pressure
adjustment of control valve without proper
knowledge and instruction from the factory will
void your warranty. A very minor adjustment
could destroy the structural and safety limits for
which the unit was designed. The system will
produce more power than the structure will
withstand. Higher pressure could cause the
hoses to burst, cylinder to rupture and intense
fluid releases, which could result in serious
personal injury.
3. Disassembling the
warranty. If replacement is necessary, merely
disconnect and replace. Do not attempt to
adjust pump settings, as they are adjusted by
the manufacturer at the factory.

warranty. Use only
transmission fluid
hydraulic fluid.

regularly. Allowing the coupler to deteriorate will
void your warranty. Deterioration of spider insert
and prolonged use after deterioration will
destroy pump bearings and engine bearings,
along with total destruction of coupler hubs.
