WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. 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 leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of
injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene
may result. DO NOT DELAY.
Hydraulic hoses and cylinders are supplied fully charged
with oil from the factory and should not require purging. If
any of the decks raise or lower in a jerking motion, then
purge hydraulics as follows:
1.
With mower decks lowered onto the ground, remove
connecting pins (#1) from rod end of the 2 wing
cylinders (#2) and rear deck cylinder (#3).
