WARNING
!
It is very important after you have operated a new machine for approximately an hour to shut down the machine
and recheck all hydraulic fi ttings. Relieve all pressure and retighten as needed.
DO NOT GO NEAR HYDRAULIC LEAKS! High pressure oil easily punctures skin causing serious injury, gangrene,
or death. Avoid burns from fl uid. Hot fl uid under pressure can cause severe burns. DO NOT use fi ngers or skin to
check for leaks. Lower load or relieve hydraulic pressure before loosening fi ttings. Relieve all pressure in the system
before disconnecting the lines, hoses, or performing other work. Use a piece of cardboard to fi nd leaks. Never use
your bare hands. Allow system to cool down to ambient temperature before opening any coolant or hydraulic oil
system.
In cold weather situations let your hydraulic system idle for approximately 15 minutes to allow the system to warm
up to operating temperature.
WARNING
!
DO NOT operate this machine unless all hydraulic control devices operate properly. They must function,
shift and position smoothly and accurately at all times. Faulty controls can cause personal injury!
NOTICE
Some equipment and components such as fl uid engagement clutch's (PTO's) have their own lubrication
requirements. Consult their manufactures manual for that information.
DANGER
!
Before attempting any type of maintenance, disengage clutch, wait for the disc/drum to come to a complete
stop, turn off engine, remove the ignition key, make sure the ignition key is in your possession, install the
disc/drum lock pin, and disconnect the battery.
NOTICE
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OVER-SET THESE RELIEF PRESSURES, BECAUSE IT WILL
CAUSE DAMAGE TO COMPONENT PARTS AS WELL AS HYDRAULIC PARTS.
NOTICE
These typical hydraulic fl ows and relief pressure settings are with the engine at full RPM. All settings are
subject to change!
CAUTION
!
After the initial start‑up of the machine and after any replacement of hydraulic components, fi ttings and
hoses must be re-checked for leaks and clearances.
NOTICE
When returning hydraulic components for warranty make sure to box up all warranted parts to avoid additional
damage while shipping. Do not disassemble any hydraulic components which are to be warranted.
Anything which has been disassembled or tampered with will not be warranted. Items being returned must
be clean. All hydraulic components must have all hosing ports plugged. Failure to plug ports will allow debris
to enter components which will void warranty.
