Remove Air from the Hydraulic System
During the SmarTrax system installation, whenever the hydraulic system is purged for maintenance, or when
fittings are loosened or disconnected, air is introduced into the lines of the hydraulic system. To remove air
from the hydraulic system and to ensure proper operation of the SmarTrax system:
Turn the machine's wheels fully from side to side repeatedly.

Note:
If air pockets are present, the wheels may not move consistently when the steering wheel is
turned.
Continue turning the wheels until they move steadily and smoothly when the steering wheel is turned.
