Never Never release release hydra hydraulic ulic lines lines or or threaded threaded coupling couplingss before before setting setting down the working attachment and shutting down the engine. All servo control devices (joystick and pedals) must then be moved in both directions – with the ignition key in the contact position – in order to relieve control pressure and ram pressure in the working circuits; in addition, release internal tank pressure by unscrewing the breather screw. Ensure Ensure that that all all lines lines and and threade threaded d coupli couplings ngs are reconn reconnecte ected d and and re-tightened on completion of the job(s). Use extrem extreme e caution caution when removing removing or inserti inserting ng bolts bolts and and pins pins made made of hardened steel, as they can splinter, causing serious injury. Always wear protective gloves and safety goggles. Whenever possible use special tools (such as mandrels, extractors, etc.). . . .

Repairing Repairing hydraulic hydraulic lines lines and and hydrau hydraulic lic hoses hoses is prohibite prohibited! d! All hoses, hoses, hose hose lines lines and and thread threaded ed coupli couplings ngs must must be checked checked regula regularly, rly, at at the very least once a year for leaks and visible signs of damage! Replace damaged parts immediately! Oil escaping under pressure can result in injuries and fires. Even when properly properly store stored d and subjecte subjected d to norma normall loading loading,, hoses hoses and and hose hose lines are subject to natural ageing. This limits their service life. Improper Improper storage, storage, mechanic mechanical al damag damage e and and loads loads in excess excess of permi permitted tted limits are the most common causes of malfunctions.
