•
Ensure the machine's hydraulic filters have been recently changed and there are no issues with the
machine's hydraulic system (e.g., pump issues, faulty hydraulic motors, fine metal deposits in the hydraulic
hoses, etc.).

valves, and filters.

•
Use part numbers to identify the parts.

Do not remove the plastic wrap from a part until it is necessary for installation.
