HYDRAULIC HOSES

Replace pinched and broken Hydraulic Hoses at once. Tighten any Hydraulic Fitting with fluid leaking from it. If
fluid still leaks, loosen the fitting, apply a pipe thread compound to the threads and tighten. Care must be
exercised when tightening Hydraulic Fittings. Too much tightening can cause the fittings to crack and require
replacement fittings.
Although a small amount of oil will be present from bleeding at all Hydraulic Fittings, significant amounts of oil
leaking around the Breather Plug on the Cylinder indicates that the seal in the Cylinder is worn out. Replace
the seals in the Cylinder immediately before the Cylinder is damaged or too much hydraulic fluid is lost.
