8. Pressure can remain in a hydraulic system after the
power source and pump have been shut down. Ensure
that there is no pressure in any of the hydraulic
cylinders or hoses before performing work on
components, or disconnecting any hoses (Figure 3).
Failure to depressurize the hydraulic sys-
tem could result in fluid injection into the
skin which, if not avoided, may result in
death or serious injury.
NOTE : Batteries contain acid that can burn you and
they produce gas that can explode, follow bat-
tery manufacturers' safety instructions that
come with it when working on your battery.
Failure to follow manufacturers' safety
instructions when handling batteries may
result in explosion which, if not avoided,
may result in minor to moderate injury.
9. Inspect the equipment daily for potential fire hazards
and make any necessary repairs immediately .
10. Inspect electrical wiring and connections, and
hydraulic hose runs to ensure they are secure and not
rubbing against other components.
12. Clean up any excess grease, oil accumulation and
spillage immediately. Use only non-flammable
products for cleaning the liftgate or components.
13. A cylinder lock strap has been factory installed be-
tween the cylinder mounting pins. This strap keeps the
liftgate in the proper position for installation. This cyl-
inder lock strap must remain in position until the lift-
gate has been welded to the vehicle, the motor wiring
has been connected to the battery, and the hydraulic
system has been activated to fill the hoses and cylin-
der under pressure. Care must be taken during instal-
lation to ensure that this strap is not bent, as this
would affect the proper function of the liftgate when
installed. Contact SAF-Holland customer service for
replacement cylinder lock straps (Figure 4).
