Hydraulic System Start--up
NOTE: Wheninitially startingthe hydraulic systemwith
new or rebuilt components such as pumps, wheel mo-
tors or lift cylinders, it is important that this start--up pro-
cedure be used. This procedure reduces the c hance of
damaging the system or its c omponents from not purg-
ing the system of air.
1. After the hydraulic system components have been
properly installed and if the traction pump was rebuilt or
replaced, make sure traction pump housing is at least
half full of clean hydraulic oil.
2. Makesureallhydraulicconnectionsandlinesarese-
cured tightly.
3. Drain, flush and refill hydraulic system and change
hydraulic oil filters if component failure was severe or
system is contaminated (see Flush Hydraulic System in
this section).
4. Make sure hydraulic reservoir is full. Add correct oil
if necessary.
5. Checkcontrol linkagefor properadjustment, binding
or broken parts.
6. Disconnect electrical c onnector to the engine fuel
stop solenoid to prevent the engine from starting.
7. Make sure traction pedal is in neutral and the PTO
switch is OFF. Turn ignition key switch to start; engage
starter for ten (10) seconds to prime hydraulic pumps.
Repeat this step again.
8. Connect fuel stop solenoid to allow engine to start.
9. Make sure traction pedal is in neutral and the PTO
switch is OFF. Start engine and run it at low idle. The

tem. Ifthere isno indicationof fillin 30 seconds,stop the
engine and determine the cause.
10.If the traction pump was replaced or rebuilt, run the
traction unit so the wheels turn slowly for 10 minutes.
11.Operate the traction unit (including steering and cut-
ting unit lift/lower) by gradually increasing the work load
to full over a 10 minute period.
12.Stop the machine. Check oil level in hydraulic reser-
voir and add correct oil if necessary. Check hydraulic
components for leaks and tighten any loose connec-
tions.
