    2Safety bar down (locked)
  3. Release the hydraulic pressure by gently pressing the Down foot pedal until the table is supported by lock safety latch.
  4. Put absorbent towels under the reciprocating pump area.
  5. Use a slotted screwdriver to unfasten the hose clamp to disconnect the hydraulic oil (low pressure) hose connection from the pump.
    1. Fasten the end of the hose in an upright position to prevent oil from leaking.
    2. Using a backer wrench to hold the pump-side fittings in place, use a 0.75 inch open-end wrench to disconnect both black high-pressure hoses from the top and side of the pump.
