If the connections are linked reversely, remember that functions will be reverse as well. (Risk of accident!) Check hydraulic hoses frequently; replace them with a new one if there is corrosion or tearing. Use hoses recommended by manufacturer definitely. As there is risk of injury, use protective equipment (mask, eyeglasses, protective dress, etc.) when you check leakages of hydraulic system.
