NOTE: Make sure to leave enough play to
the hoses to allow full rotation of the chute
and that the radius of curvature of the
hoses remains correct. Also make sure
they do not cross and they do not rub
against sharp edges. Rotate the chute
and move the deflector to ensure that
hoses are well assembled.

CAUTION:
To avoid serious personal injury. Escaping
hydraulic/ diesel fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
 Do not use your hands to check
for leaks. Use a piece of
cardboard or paper to search for
leaks.
 Stop engine and relieve pressure before
connecting or disconnecting lines.
 Tighten all connections before starting engine
or pressurizing lines.
If any fluid is injected into the skin, obtain medical
attention immediately or gangrene may result
