WARNING
Place towing vehicle Power Take-Off (PTO) switch in low idle position for hydraulic
operations to avoid over pressurizing the hydraulic system on the semitrailer. Failure to
comply may result in death or injury to personnel. Seek medical attention in the event of
an injury.
NOTE
A reading of 900 psi (6,205.28 kPa) is only on gage when the hydraulic controls
are in use. For the raising/lowering of the deck, readings will go down to 300 psi
(2,068.43 kPa) when the lever is disengaged.
The psi will vary due to load. Hydraulic pressures will vary from 300-900 psi
(2,068.43-6,205.28 kPa) under normal operation and will reach a maximum of
900-1,100 psi (6,205.28-7,584.23 kPa) under full load.
