3. Raise center deck up just enough to insert gauge
wheel spindles into the carrier frame spindle support
tubes as shown in Figure 1-6.
4. Secure gauge wheels with linch pins (#8) supplied
attached to the support loop with plastic ties. Insert
linch pins from the front and flip clasp shut over the
spindles towards the back. Attaching linch pin in this
manner will prevent vegetation from catching on the
clasp and flipping it open while traveling forward.

Bleeding The Fold Hydraulics
Refer to Figure 1-8:
!
DANGER
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate skin. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood
rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must be treated by a
doctor within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Hydraulic hoses and cylinders are supplied fully charged
with oil from the factory and should not require bleeding.
If any of the decks raise or lower in a jerking motion, then
bleed the hydraulics as follows:
1. With mower decks lowered onto the ground, remove
connecting pins (#1) from rod end of the 2 wing
cylinders (#2) and center deck cylinder (#3).
2. Support cylinders vertically with rod end up.
3. Cycle hydraulic system to extend both wing cylinders
and center deck cylinder. Retract cylinders and
repeat this process 2 times.
4. On each cylinder, crack rod end cylinder fitting (#4)
and apply hydraulic pressure until air free oil leaks
from fitting and then retighten fitting.
5. Support cylinders in a vertical position with base end of
cylinder up and repeat bleeding process on the base
end fitting (#5).
6. Re-pin all clevises. Secure pins with cotter pins (#6)
by bending one or more legs of the cotter pin.
7. Slowly cycle all decks to transport position checking
to make sure the hydraulic hoses are not pinched in
the process.
