In steps 13–16, you will be assembling
the four hydraulic cylinders. You must
lubricate each piston seal (P13) with
oil. Use baby oil, vegetable oil, or
another cooking oil from your home.
Coat the sides of P13 with the lubricant.
This makes the machine work more smoothly and quietly,
requiring less force to move the hydraulic levers. You can
reapply oil whenever the hydraulics get too sticky or noisy.
