Removal (Fig. 98)
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
stop engine, engage parking brake and remove key
from the ignition switch.
2. Read the General Precautions for Removing and
Installing Hydraulic System Components at the begin-
ning of the Service and Repairs section of this chapter.
3. To prevent contamination ofhydraulic system during
hydraulicreservoir removal,thoroughlyclean exteriorof
reservoir.
4. Disconnectoneofthehydraulictubesfromtheteefit-
ting on bottomof reservoir to allow draining ofreservoir.
Drain reservoir into a suitable container.
5. Disconnect remaining hydraulic hoses from reser-
voir. Label the hydraulic hoses to show their correct
position on the reservoir for assembly purposes.
6. Remove hydraulic reservoir using Figure 98 as a
guide.
7. If hydraulic fittings are to be r emoved from reservoir,
mark fitting orientation to allow correct assembly. Re-
move fittings from reservoir and discard O--rings.
Inspection
1. Clean hydraulic reservoir and suction strainer with
solvent.
2. Inspect reservoir for leaks, cracks or other damage.
Installation (Fig. 98)
1. If fittings were removedfrom reservoir, lubricate and
place newO--rings onto fittings.Install fittingsinto reser-
voir openings using marks made during the removal
process to properly orientate fittings. Torque fittings to
values identified in Figure 98.
2. Install reservoir using Figure 98 as a guide.
IMPORTANT: When tightening hoses to reservoir
fittings, hold fitting with wrench to prevent over--
tightening of fitting and potential reservoir damage.
3. Connect hydraulic hoses to reservoir fittings (see
Hydraulic Hose and Tube Installation in the General In-
formation section of this chapter).
4. Fill reservoir with hydraulic fluid to proper level.
5. Follow Hydraulic System Start--up procedures (see
