Important Safety Notice:

Proper service and repair is important to the safe reliable operation of all hydraulic components. The service procedures recommended by Cross Manufacturing and described in this service manual are effective methods for performing service operations. Some of these service operations require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose. The special tools should be used when and as recommended.

It is important to note that some warnings against the use of specific service methods that can damage the hydraulic component or render it unsafe are stated in this service manual. It is also Important to understand these warnings are not exhaustive. Cross Manufacturing could not possibly know, evaluate and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways in which service might be done or of the possible hazardous consequences of each way. Consequently, Cross Manufacturing has not undertaken any such broad evaluation. Accordingly, anyone who uses a service procedure or tool which is not recommended by Cross Manufacturing must first satisfy himself thoroughly that neither his safety nor component function will be jeopardized by the service method he selects.
