ASSEMBLY
STARTING UNIT
1. Make sure unit has been properly assembled, all cylinders, Hoses, and the driveline have been connected.
NOTE: Make sure that no materials, tools, or jacks have been left under the mower head. Make sure the
front and rear of the mower are properly guarded to prevent any foreign objects from being thrown by the
mower. All other workers should keep a safe distance from the unit before the mower is started.
2. Run the mower for about 2 - 3 minutes to fill hydraulic lines and hoses with fluid.
3. Check the fluid level at sight gauge (Asm-B-0011). If oil is below sight gauge fill as required to bring to
sight gauge.
4. Remove the filler cap. (Asm-B-0007)
5. Fill the hydraulic reservoir until the fluid is visible through the sight gauge. (Asm-B-0010)
6. Avoid hydraulic contamination by filtering the hydraulic oil while filling the hydraulic tank. Filter buggies or
carts are commercially available for hydraulic system clean-up. These consist of a high-efficiency, high-
capacity filter, a circulating pump, a drive motor, and hoses for connecting to the overhauled machine's
hydraulic system. Asm-B-0008 & Asm-B-0009.
