3.9 MAKING POWER CONNECTIONS Before making any hydraulic connections, inspect all hydraulic lines, fittings and hoses for leaks and risks of rupture as follows: Inspect each hydraulic line, fitting, and hose for breaks, cracks, worn spots, bulges, chemical attack, kinks or any other damage.
3.9 OPERATING POSITION After moving your lift to the operating position, ensure that the bottom lift frame assembly is square and sets level. Measure diagonally the inside edge of rear extension leg to inside edge of opposing front extension leg. Repeat for alternate corners. Lift is considered square when the difference between the two measurements shall not exceed 1/4 of an inch.
