-
Page 63: Bleeding The Depth Stop Cylinder
Bleeding the Depth Stop Cylinder After changing the hydraulic system oil, or after disturbing the Depth Stop Cylinder plumbing, air may become trapped in the system and cause the Depth Stop Cylinder to work improperly. To remedy the situation, the Depth Stop Cylinder must be bled to remove trapped air. -
Page 64: Drive Wheel Alignment
Drive Wheel Alignment Below is the technique recommended for aligning the wheels. Distance X is the same on both sides; the Front Wheel and Blade shaft axles must be at right angles to the frame edge. Distance A is 3/16” (.187”) longer on the right side, so that the saw steers slightly left. - Page 65 The drive wheels are aligned by adjusting the entire rear drive assembly: 1. Loosen the Transaxle Attachment Bolts just enough to move the Transaxle — do not completely loosen the bolts. 2. Loosen and tighten the Alignment Jackscrew nuts to move the Transaxle —...
