attach the cylinder (item 4) in the lower hole of
the quick hitch (item 5) with the two pins
(items 1-2).
WARNING: 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
