4.3.1 Observations and Recommendations
When connecting AC current, please observe the indicated rotation of the electric

Failure to comply with local standards and use of non-­‐certified components may result
in injury . All hydraulic connections should be made, and the proper fluid should be
present in the reservoir before, running the Hydraulic pump.

factory.
