WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OVERNIGHT, OR FOR LONG
PERIODS OF TIME, ALL THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS MUST BE IN
THE FULLY RETRACTED POSITION. THIS PROTECTS THE POLISHED SURFACE OF THE CYLINDER RODS
AND PREVENTS DAMAGE TO CYLINDER SEALS. THIS ALSO RAISES THE OIL LEVEL IN THE HYDRAULIC
TANK, MINIMIZING INTERNAL CONDENSATION AND CONTAMINATION.
