Removal WARNING • Do not torque hydraulic fittings or perform removal procedures when hydraulic system is pres- surized. Discharging hydraulic system pressure before performing any maintenance proce- dures will avoid serious injury to personnel. • Eye protection will be worn when performing maintenance procedures on all hydraulic compo- nents to avoid injury to personnel. CAUTION • All hydraulic lines and ports must be capped to prevent contaminants from entering the hydrau- lic system and causing internal damage to hydraulic components. • All serviceable components must be placed in plastic bags to prevent contamination of hydrau- lic system during installation. NOTE • All hydraulic lines and components must be tagged before removal for identification during in- stallation. • The removal of hydraulic tubes and fittings must be restricted to those items that are to be re- placed. Therefore, the legends in this chapter are for identification only. For removal, follow illustration and legend as a guide. Discard all preformed packings. b. Installation CAUTION When installing any hydraulic fitting, tighten fitting to aline with the connecting lines. Repositioning can loosen threads, cause leaks, and damage preformed packings.
