STEP 10: HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, PURGING When initially putting hydraulic system into service, one or both of the wheel drives may not pull properly. This is likely to be caused by air entrapped in the system. If you experience a pulling issue during initial setup or after completing repairs, perform the following procedure to purge the air from one or both of the hydraulic drive systems.

IMPORTANT: WHEN REPLACING THE HYDRAULIC FLUID FILTERS, PRE-FILL BOTH WITH OIL (SAE 20W50 API SL) BEFORE INSTALLING. PRE-FILLING THE FILTERS WITH OIL WILL REDUCE OR POSSIBLY ELIMINATE THE NEED TO PURGE THE SYSTEM OF ENTRAPPED AIR.

A.Locate hydraulic reservoirs underneath operator’s seat. After thoroughly cleaning the area around the top of each reservoir, remove filler cap. Bring fluid to proper level (1-1/2” below the top of the filler neck). With engine off, add SAE 20W50 automotive oil. See Figure 5.
