Run the engine at low idle, loosen air bleeder (4), and
tighten it when oil flows out.

Run the engine at low idle and swing the upper structure
90 ° to bring the work equipment to the side of the track.

METHOD FOR BLEEDING AIR FROM ATTACHMENT (WHEN ATTACHMENT IS
EQUIPPED)

•
If the method of air bleeding from the attachment is specified by the manufacturer, bleed the air ac-
cording to the specified procedure.

from the attachment circuit.

Turn the fuel control dial to Low idle (MIN) position.
2.
Repeat operating the attachment approximately 10 times to bleed air.
