1. Before beginning the installation, thoroughly clean the vehicle to remove dirt and contaminants that might get
into the hydraulic circuit.
2. Park the vehicle on a clean, level floor with adequate clearance to work around.
3. Do not attempt to loosen any hydraulic fittings while the engine is running.
4. Allow the motor and the hydraulics to cool until it is no more than warm to the touch before proceeding.
5. Prior to loosening any hydraulic fittings, be sure to have the appropriate plugs and caps available in order to
limit loss of hydraulic fluid from the open fittings.
PREVENT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM CONTAMINATION. It is essential to thoroughly clean hydraulic
system fittings and hose connections prior to disconnecting or removing them. Use a spray cleaner
such as “Brake Clean” to prevent hydraulic system contamination. Note that o-rings used on ORB and
ORFF type fittings may be damaged by solvent cleaners such as “Brake Clean”. If a fitting is to be cleaned
internally, the o-ring should first be removed and cleaned with a fiberless cloth.
IMPORTANT
TO AVOID EXCESS LEAKAGE, DO NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE THE
FITTINGS ON THE MANUAL STEERING VALVE ARE DISCONNECTED.
WARNING: HOT, HIGH PRESSURE FLUID HAZARD. Hydraulic oil may be hot and under extreme
pressure. To prevent serious injury or death, relieve system pressure and allow the system to cool
before repairing or disconnecting. Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for leaks,
using wood or cardboard instead of hands. Keep all hydraulic components in good repair.
WARNING: PINCH POINT HAZARD! To prevent serious injury or death, avoid unsafe practice while
manually operating hydraulic steering circuits. Keep others away and stay clear of mechanical steering
linkages.
