How To Move The Mower If The Engine Wont Start; Bleeding Air From The Hydraulic System; Lubrication - Wright Manufacturing Stander 54700 Owner's Manual

Filling oil
• Lift hinged pad and remove hex socket plug.
• Using a funnel, fill tank through oil level port until oil
reaches bottom threads of the port.
5.8 How to Move the Mower if the Engine Won't Start
Rotate both of the hydro bypass valve levers on the side of each hydraulic pump about ½ turn
counterclockwise. It is important not to over tighten these levers. Damage may occur to the pump if this
valve is over tightened.

5.9 Bleeding Air from the Hydraulic System

Whenever servicing the hydraulic system, it is of the utmost importance to keep any dirt or debris from
getting into the system. Clean off all parts before disassembly and assembly. When any of the hydraulic
parts are disconnected or removed or when the oil is changed, air must be bled from the system. If air is
entrained in the system, loss of power, excessive heat, and damage to the hydraulic pumps may occur.
First, make sure the oil level in the reservoir is correct. The oil should be level with the bottom threads of the
oil level port. Use fully synthetic oil: Mobil1 15W-50. With the bypass valves open and the engine running,
slowly move the control levers back and forth five or six times. Now close the bypass valves and with the
engine running, slowly move the control levers back and forth five or six times. It may be necessary to
repeat the above steps until all the air is purged and the rear wheels are turning at normal speed. After
purging is complete, adjust the oil level in the reservoir if necessary.
