• For radial connections only hand tighten
In repair leaks follow these guidelines;
• Disassemble
• Check condition and positioning of O-ring or gasket

Shock Absorbers
If the shock absorbers loose their efficiency or start leaking oil, they should be replaced.
Wear bushing replacement
The wear bushings are inspected and replaced before they are worn through.
• Unfold the boom to working position.
• Lift the boom centre frame with a lifting device and support it
until the load is taken off the parallelogram arms.
• The upper arms must be disconnected simultaneously.
• Remove the screws (A), and pull out the pins (B) for the upper
parallelogram arms and replace the wear bushings (C).
• Replace the arms.
• Repeat this procedure with each of the lower arms.
• Grease all grease nipples.
• Remove the lifting gear again.
