Bleeding the Hydraulic System
The traction system is self bleeding, however, it may
be necessary to bleed the system if fluid is changed
or after work is performed on the system.
1.
Raise the rear of the machine so that the wheels
are off the ground and support with jack stands.
2.
Start the engine and run at low idle speed and
engage the lever and traction on 1 side and spin
the wheel by hand.
3.
When the wheel begins to spin on its own,
keep it engaged until the wheel drives smoothly
(minimum 2 minutes).
4.
Check the hydraulic-fluid level and add as
required to maintain proper level.
5.
Repeat this procedure on the opposite wheel.
Checking the Hydraulic Hoses
Service Interval: Every 100 hours
Check the hydraulic hoses for leaks, loose fittings,
kinked lines, loose mounting supports, wear, weather
and chemical deterioration. Make necessary repairs
before operating the machine.
Note:
Keep areas around the hydraulic system clean
from grass and debris buildup.
