I have to say, that looks all too familiar. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Seems if the cylinder were rotated just slightly, there wouldn't be a problem.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Sorry to hear you joined my little club /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif but happy to hear your dealer is taking care of you. I plan to attach a length of rubber hose on the stabilizer to "cushion" the blow. I found some red rubber hose at HDepot that ought to work.

This seems to be a design flaw that is so obvious it's not funny. Why Kioti has been so slow on the "fix" I don't know. DePratt sent me some bumpers that come from land pride that work really well.
Of course, that was after an eye full of hydro fluid when I lowered the leg while
trying to spot the leak.
While tightening the fittings seems to have worked, I don't know or not if there is long term damage to the cylinders or fittings..

You would most likely know if there was any permanent damage as you would probably not be able to stop the leaks.
Next time, remember to use a large piece of cardboard to catch the leaks instead of using your eyes! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Sorry, couldn't resist! J
