Hydraulic System: Service and Repair


HYDRAULIC UNIT

Caution:
1. Do not dismantle the hydraulic unit, as the inside contains high pressure brake fluid.
2. Do not refill the hydraulic unit reserve tank, even if the fluid level drops. When the fluid level drops below the MIN line, the hydraulic unit should be replaced.
3. The accumulator contains high pressure nitrogen gas, so keep it away from flames.
. Do not loosen or remove the safety plug in the lower section of the accumulator, except when disposing of the hydraulic unit.
5. Do not throw the accumulator into fire, drill holes, press, or weld without first releasing the gas.
6. When disposing of the hydraulic unit, first release the gas by turning the safety plug two or three times to loosen it, and wait about 3 minutes until the hissing sound can no longer be heard and all the gas has escaped. Remove the plug before disposal.
