using the vehicle immediately and repair the cylinder (see Replacing Body Hoist Cylinder on

Danger!
It is mandatory to inspect all cylinder glands weekly. If one of the cylinder glands 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.
