Bleeding The Fold Hydraulics

!
CAUTION!
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate skin. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood
rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically
removed within a few hours by a doctor or gangrene may result.
With the mower decks lowered onto the ground, remove
the connecting pins from the 2 wing cylinder rod ends
and the center deck cylinder. Support the cylinders in a
vertical position rod end up. Cycle the hydraulic system
to extend both of the wing cylinders and the center deck
cylinder. Retract the cylinders and repeat this process 2
times. On each cylinder, crack the rod end cylinder fitting
and apply hydraulic pressure until air free oil leaks from
the fitting and retighten. Support the cylinders in a vertical
position with the butt end up and repeat the bleeding
process on the rod end cylinder fitting.
Repin all of the rod end clevises. Slowly cycle all decks to
transport position checking to make sure the hydraulic
hoses are not pinched in the process.
