OPERA
TION
Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil
and fuel are explosive and their presence could present a hazard. Do
not check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams from
breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage
including gangrene. To check for a hose leak, SHUT the unit ENGINE
OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable gloves,
safety glasses and use Cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If
you suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer.
If oil does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a
physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure.

HYDRAULIC PUMP/OIL RESERVOIR
• Check oil reservoir level and oil condition. (Add
specific type oil if low)
• Change hydraulic oil filter and hydraulic oil
according to maintenance schedule.
• Ensure there are no oil leaks and fitting are
properly connected
• Inspect overall condition of hydraulic pump.
• Inspect pump drive shaft.
Check the fluid level in the Hydraulic Tank on the
Tractor, and add oil if required. As the air has been forced out of the Cylinders and Hoses, it goes into the
Hydraulic Tank and reduces the volume of oil. Maintain the oil level within the sight gauge located on the side
of the reservoir. Never fill the tank above the sight gauge to allow for the expansion of the oil. The tank
maintains pressure after the mower has been run. Stand off to one side when removing the breather cap
element to prevent possible injury. OPS-B 0024_E
Attention: Oil Filler Cap is also the Pressure Relief Cap.
Remove cap slowly to relieve pressure before removing cap completely. Stay clear to
prevent being scalded with hot oil that may spray out of the tank that is still pressurized and
may cause serious injury to eyes, face, and exposed skin.
(Ops-0001-MISC)
Avoid contact with hot surfaces including hydraulic oil tanks, pumps, motors, valves and
hose connections. Relieve hydraulic pressure before performing maintenance or repairs.
Use gloves and eye protection when servicing hot components. Contact with a hot surface
or fluid can cause serious injury from burns or scalding.
