not install outside unless a weatherproof cover has been furnished or otherwise
protected from the elements.

CAUTION!
Precaution should be taken to prevent the introduction of contaminates
such as dirt or other foreign material into the system through open fittings,
pipes, or disassembled components. Contamination will ruin the hydraulic
system.
Do not run the motor more than a few short bumps to check rotation if
there is no oil in the reservoir. The pump may become damaged. If the
reservoir contains oil, precautions should be taken to collect pumped oil to
prevent spillage.
4. Check the rotation of the motor. Correct rotation is clockwise when viewing the
motor shaft from under the dust cap on the end bell housing. Replace the dust cap
when the check is complete.
