HYDRAULIC SECTION
When returning hydraulic components for warranty make sure to box up all warranted parts to avoid additional
damage while shipping. Do not disassemble any hydraulic components which are to be warranted.
Anything which has been disassembled or tampered with will not be warranted. Items being returned must be
clean. All hydraulic components must have all hosing ports plugged. Failure to plug ports will allow debris to
enter components which will void warranty.
