General remarks on hydraulic system

The hydraulic system is sensitive to ingress of dirt. As soon as the system is opened by the plug, a cloth must be placed under the hydraulic lines to catch
escaping hydraulic oil.

The hydraulic convertible top uses a closed hydraulic system. In general, the hydraulic system will need filling only after opening the hydraulic circuit
(after parts replacement). Use only original Porsche hydraulic oil when changing or topping up hydraulic fluid.

To close, insert the Allen key -A- into the hydraulic valve -B- through the bore of the roll-over bar module -X- and turn to the right.
