General Instructions
4.
It is vitally important that dirt and other foreign matter are not allowed to enter the hydraulic system during
repairs. Dirt or fluid other than clean hydraulic fluid in the system will cause almost immediate failure. Plug or protect
openings to prevent dirt entering the system. Use plastic plugs or covers only for this purpose. Do not use cloth or
paper as plugs or covers.
5.
Disconnect the dolly converter electrical connector from the towing vehicle before removing any electrical
system components.
6.
When disconnecting electrical connectors, hoses and fittings, remove sufficient clamps in order to gain the
necessary slack to avoid damage to connectors and fittings. Re-install all clamps and supporting devices as installed by
manufacturer.
7.
Use only genuine replacement parts and components.
8.
Replacement hardware, tubing, hose fittings, etc., should be of equivalent size, type, length and strength as the
original equipment.
9.
Use only those lubricants specified in the Servicing Instruction EMEI Vehicle H 989 and the User Handbook.
10.
Any fastenings of fittings being tightened to prescribed torques are to have dry, clean threads unless otherwise
specified. When specified, thread sealants are to be applied to dry, clean, oil free threads.
