For repair, place the unit in a stable position with the shaft pointing downward. It will be necessary to
secure the pump while removing and torquing end covers, controls, and valves.
Always consider safety precautions before beginning a service procedure. Protect yourself and others
from injury. Take the following general precautions whenever servicing a hydraulic system.

Unintended Machine Movement

Unintended movement of the machine or mechanism may cause injury to the technician or bystanders.
Secure the machine or disable/disconnect the mechanism while servicing to protect against unintended
movement.

Flammable Cleaning Solvents

Some cleaning solvents are flammable.
Do not use cleaning solvents in an area where a source of ignition may be present to avoid possible fire.

Fluid Under Pressure

Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate your skin causing serious
injury and/or infection. This fluid may also be hot enough to cause burns.
Relieve pressure in the system before removing hoses, fittings, gauges, or components. Never use your
hand or any other body part to check for leaks in a pressurized line. Use caution when dealing with
hydraulic fluid under pressure. Seek medical attention immediately if you are cut by hydraulic fluid.

Protect yourself from injury whenever servicing a hydraulic system.
Use proper safety equipment, including safety glasses, at all times.
