ASSEMBLY
INITIAL START-UP PROCEDURE
1. Check all nuts and hex head capscrews to ensure all are tight and all lock washers are fully compressed
(flattened).
2. Check all hoses and hydraulic connections. Make certain they are secure.
3. Inspect all moving parts and be sure that no wires or hoses will be caught or pinched when the tractor or
the INTERSTATER is in operation. Tie down loose wires and hoses.
4. Thoroughly grease the INTERSTATER and install a lubricap on each grease fitting. Refer to the Operation
and Maintenance Section.
5. Jack front of tractor up enough to allow axle to pivot through its full range. While turning wheels through
their limits, right and left, swing them up and down. Look for interference between tires and any part of the
INTERSTATER. If interference occurs, shims (not furnished) must be welded to axle pivot stop or steering
arm to limit the movement enough to avoid interference. Tractors with an adjustable front axle may require
an outward adjustment of the wheels.
6. To fill the INTERSTATER reservoir with new, clean hydraulic oil, follow the steps below. Refer to the
Operation and Maintenance Section for specifications.
a. With a hydraulic jack raise the right side of the tractor. This will tilt the tank and allow only a minimum amount
of air when filling.
b. Avoid hydraulic contamination by filtering the hydraulic oil while filling the hydraulic tank. ASM-FL-0038
