RAISING THE HYDRAULIC FRAME SYSTEM:

Step 1: 

Verify the frame system is on level ground.

Step 2: 

Crank the wheels until they are completely off the ground and verify the frame system is 

fi

 rmly 

resting on the support pads.

Step 3: 

Unwrap the hydraulic hoses and connect them to the power unit. Verify the hose connections are 

secure and properly connected. 

IMPORTANT:

 The hydraulic hoses and power unit must be inspected before each use. Verify the hydraulic 

hoses are not leaking, cracked, kinked, or contain any other defect that could cause them to fail. Inspect the 

hydraulic 

fi

 ttings to ensure they are not leaking and working properly. Inspect the power unit according to the 

supplied manufacturer’s instructions.
