Piston nut Loose nut • Tighten to specified torque.
Valves Leak from valve • Inspect the valve leakage amount and
service.
Note: Hydraulic oil expands and contracts due to changes in temperature and pressure. Accordingly, the ram also
expands and this can be mistaken for internal leakage. When inspecting for internal leakage, do so at set conditions.
