While engaging the traction circuit, monitor the indicator on the
high flow hydraulic filter. If the indicator shows red, either reduce
the pressure on the traction pedal or reduce the engine speed to
decrease the hydraulic flow through the filter.
7. With the engine running at low-idle speed, slowly move the traction pedal to
the forward direction to allow flow through the traction circuit and high-flow
filter. Keep the traction circuit engaged in forward for 5 minutes while
gradually increasing both forward pressure on the traction pedal and engine
speed. Monitor the filter indicator to ensure that the green color is showing
during operation.
8. With the engine running at high-idle speed and traction pedal moved to
the forward direction, periodically apply brakes to increase pressure in the
traction circuit. While monitoring the filter indicator, continue this process for
5 more minutes.
If you are using a filter that is not the Toro high flow filter that is
bi-directional, do not press the traction pedal in the reverse direction.
If the flow is reversed when using a filter that is not bi-directional,
unwanted material from the filter will again enter the traction circuit.
9. With the engine running at high-idle speed, alternately move the traction
pedal from forward to reverse. While monitoring the filter indicator, continue
this process for 5 more minutes.
10. Shut off the engine and remove the key from the key switch.
11. Remove the high flow hydraulic filter and hydraulic hose kit from the machine.
Connect the hydraulic hose to the 90° hydraulic fitting. Ensure that you
properly tighten the hoses; refer to
(O-Ring Face Seal Fitting) (page
12. Lower the machine to the ground.
13. Check the hydraulic-fluid level in the hydraulic tank and add correct quantity
of fluid if necessary; refer to the Operator's Manual.
Note: When initially starting the hydraulic system with new or rebuilt components
such as pumps, wheel motors, or lift cylinders, it is important that the hydraulic
system is charged properly. Remove the air from the system and its components
to reduce the chance of damage.
Change the hydraulic-fluid filters when you repair or replace the
hydraulic components.
1. Park the machine on a level surface and shut off the engine.
