Relieving Hydraulic Pressure from the Hydraulic Hoses
After placing both Frames on a Locking Position, customers occasionally fail to hold down the Down
Button for an extra five seconds to relieve the Hydraulic Pressure in the Hoses. Failure to do so makes
it extremely difficult to reconnect the Hydraulic Hoses after they have been disconnected.
