Hydraulic Pump
All parts of the Hydraulic Pump are precision machined, then carefully assembled and
tested to ensure reliable service. The pump assembly is completely enclosed and sealed
with Neoprene rings to prevent leakage of hydraulic oil. A small amount of oil (about a
drop) will accumulate around the piston from time to time and should be removed with
a facial tissue.

MUST be returned to the factory for repair. DO NOT attempt to open the hydrau-
lic pump or obtain local service. This will void the warranty and might result in dam-
