can cause hydraulic systems to become over pressurized and
cause hoses or components to burst.
D. Before storing, apply grease to all hydraulic cylinder rods to
prevent rust or store with cylinders retracted if possible
E. Fasten hydraulic hose ends to front of machine to keep the hose
ends above the ground.
F. Paint any surface that can rust.
