E. CHECK OPERATION.
If all previous installation procedures were correctly
performed, the front hitch should raise when the lift
handle is pulled upward (rearward) and lower when
pushed downward (forward). If the opposite actions
occur, switching the hose connections at the cylinder
will correct the problem. Proceed a follows:
CAUTION
Position a suitable container to catch any oil
leakage. Obey all applicable laws for disposal of
oil.
1. Lower the front hitch to its lowest position and stop
the tractor engine.
2. Because the oil may be under pressure, carefully
loosen the upper hose fitting from the cylinder
elbow to relieve pressure (See Figure 46).
Disconnect the hose.
3. Disconnect the lower hose and reconnect to the
upper elbow. Connect the other hose to the lower
elbow.
Figure 46
4. Start the tractor and completely cycle the hydraulic
lift system several times to prime the system.
5. Recheck the oil level in the transmission and fill to
the full mark on the dipstick.
Refer to the Operator’s Manual of the specific
attachment for hitching and operating instructions.
