Hydraulic Oil – Conventional Anti-Wear Tractor-Hydraulic Fluid
Biodegradable Oils – Consult Factory for compatibility analysis.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin. Seek
medical attention at once if injured by escaping fluid.
During your daily inspection, repair all leaks before they create a major
problem. Do not use your hand to check for hydraulic oil leaks. Use a piece
of cardboard instead. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate
the skin causing serious injury. If skin penetration occurs, seek medical
attention immediately. Relieve all pressure before disconnecting hoses.
When servicing any hydraulic component of the mower ensure that all decks
and wings are in their lowered position and all hydraulic pressure is relieved.
Pressure can be maintained in the hydraulic circuits long after the power
source and pump have been shut down.
Relieve all pressure before disconnecting hoses or tubes.
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
When connecting the hydraulic couplers to the tractor, be sure that both
coupler ends are clean. Dirt in the hydraulic system can block the orifice in
the cylinder ports or cause premature wear & failure of hydraulic components
on the mower or tractor.
All hydraulic cylinders have a .032" diameter orifice installed in the port for
the rod end of each hydraulic cylinder. This orifice is present to throttle the
cylinder speed to a safe level. When repairing the hydraulic system ensure
that this orifice elbow is present and free of debris that could block the orifice.
