If the gap between the gland and the tube is wider than 1 ⁄ 8 inch, you must call LabriePlus
immediately. Should the gap between the tube and the gland be wider than 1 inch, you must stop
using the vehicle immediately and repair the cylinder (see Replacing Body Hoist Cylinder on
page 70).

Danger!
It is mandatory to inspect cylinder gland weekly. If the cylinder gland is unscrewed from
the body hoist cylinder, it will cause separation of the hydraulic cylinder, and the body will
drop suddenly.
This type of accident can lead to damage, serious injury, and even death.
