LEFT FRONT (#5) LIFT CYLINDER TEST SHOWN
The lift cylinder internal leakage test should be per-
formed if a cutting unit raise and lower problem is identi-
fied. This test will determine if a lift cylinder is faulty.
NOTE: Cutting unit raise/lower circuit operation will be
affected by lift cylinder binding, extra weight on the cut-
ting units and/or binding of lift components. Make sure
that these items are checked before proceeding with lift
cylinder internal leakage test.
Procedure for Lift Cylinder Internal Leakage Test:
1. Park machine on a level surface with the PTO switch
OFF. Position the cutting units in the turn--around posi-
tion and turn the engine off. Apply the parking brake.

2. For the lift cylinder that is to be tested, use a jack to
raise the lift arm slightly. This will remove the load from
the lift cylinder and relieve lift cylinder hydraulic pres-
sure. Leave the jack under the lift arm to support the lift
arm and to prevent the lift arm from lowering.
NOTE: If either of the rear lift cylinders is being tested,
both rear lift arms need to be supported.
3. Thoroughly clean the area around the end of the hy-
draulic hose at the rod end of the lift cylinder. Disconnect
the hydraulic hose from the lift cylinder rod end fitting
(Fig. 49).
