6. Avoid hydraulic contamination by filtering the hydraulic oil while filling the hydraulic tank. Filter buggies or
carts are commercially available for hydraulic system clean-up. These consist of a high-efficiency, high-
capacity filter, a circulating pump, a drive motor, and hoses for connecting to the overhauled machine's
hydraulic system. Asm-B-0008 & Asm-B-0009.
7. When adding hydraulic oil, use only new oil from a sealed barrel. Used oil or oil from an open barrel may
contain high levels of contamination. Transfer the oil into the hydraulic tank by using a hydraulic filter pump
unit equipped with a properly operating 10 micron filter. This will insure that the oil being added is clean.
Do not pour the oil directly into the hydraulic tank since most oils (even from a sealed barrel) have contam-
inants that should be removed, before operating the hydraulic system.
8. Run the mower at PTO operating speed (540 or 1000 RPM) for 20 minutes while checking for any a leaks
and making sure mower is operating correctly.
Change the return filter in tank and suction filters after the first 200 hours of operation.
Change the filters again at 800 hours; then, change the oil and filters at 1600 hours. After
that, continue to change the filter every 800 hours and the oil every 1600 hours. Hydraulic oil
to be 15W 40CD service or equal. Use the above procedures as part of a good filter
maintenance program.
