Your Portable Pit does not require an elaborate break-in. However, following a
few simple tips for the first 5 hours of operation can add to the reliability and life
of your machine.
• Follow the service schedule.
• Check hydraulic system oil level.
• Ensure that all hydraulic lines are free from damage, and that all fittings
are tight.
• Visually inspect the unit for damage to components. Replace or repair any
damaged or questionable parts.
• Check that all guards are installed, secured, and functioning as intended.
• Check the worksite and clean up the area, if needed.
• Regularly inspect the hydraulic motor mounting bolts for tightness (there
are 4 bolts).
• Inspect all hydraulic hoses, couplers, and fittings for tightness.
