6. Slide the stop plate until it contacts the throttle
lever, and tighten the screws that secure the
throttle control to the control panel.
7. If the throttle does not stay in position during
operation, torque the locknut used to set the
friction device on the throttle lever to 5 to 6 N∙m
(40 to 55 inch-lb).
Note:
The maximum force required to operate
the throttle lever should be 27 N∙m (20 ft-lb).

Hydraulic System
Maintenance

Hydraulic System Safety

•
Seek immediate medical attention if fluid is injected
into skin. Injected fluid must be surgically removed
within a few hours by a doctor.
•
Ensure that all hydraulic-fluid hoses and lines are
in good condition and all hydraulic connections
and fittings are tight before applying pressure to
the hydraulic system.
•
Keep your body and hands away from pinhole
leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure hydraulic
fluid.
•
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks.
•
Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic system
before performing any work on the hydraulic
system.
Checking the Hydraulic
Lines and Hoses
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Check the hydraulic lines and hoses for leaks, kinked
lines, loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings,
weather deterioration, and chemical deterioration.
Make all necessary repairs before operating.
Checking the Level of the
Hydraulic Fluid
Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check
the level of the hydraulic fluid.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, engage the parking brake, shut off
the engine, and remove the key.
2. Clean the area around the filler neck and cap of
the hydraulic-fluid tank
the cap.
