• Check the hydraulic connections for leaks. Replace or properly repair any 

damaged or leaking hydraulic components before using. In the event of 
leaking seals, oil can be topped up via the plug on the end of the pump. Oil 
should be level with the bottom of the hole. If necessary top up with CLARKE

This task is carried out with the ram fully 

retracted.
