HYDRAULIC THREAD PREPARATION
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to use thread sealant on all hydraulic fittings, Loctite® 30534 or similar Teflon® infused pipe dope is recom
mended.
CAUTION:
Teflon tape is an excellent thread sealer, however, if it is not properly applied, pieces of Teflon
may enter the hydraulic system and cause malfunction or damage. Use 1 1/2 wraps of tape on each thread. Cut off
all loose tape ends. Tighten until fitting feels snug and then go 1/2 to a full turn past that point.
CAUTION:
Over
tightening can easily distort the threads.
