Thanks

doesnt make any difference except maybe rams retracted into cylinders couldnt hurt
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...

Down as it keeps all fluids sitting where they should be, and it takes up less room...

And rams are then fully protected as well

Down lets all the water drain out of the block and exhaust passages.

preferably down but i need to travel with mine up due to my low trailer but parked up i leave it as low as i can to keep everything level though i don't think it'd do much harm being up other than the stress on the hydralics

Down to remove pressure on the hydraulics
