Block up the rear of unit until wheels will rotate freely and start engine at a slow idle, move the control levers forward and run for several minutes. Stop engine and recheck oil level. If wheels don’t response an air lock has occured within the hydraulic system. Bleed air from lines, or let stand overnight to allow the air time to dissipate out of the oil. Retry responses & check the oil level. Note: Serious damage to the pumps and wheel motors can occur if the system is ran with an air lock.
