OPERATION

Relieve hydraulic pressure prior to doing any maintenance or repair work on the Implement. Place the Mower Head on the ground or securely supported on blocks or stands, disengage the PTO, and turn off the engine. Push and pull the control Levers or Joystick several times to relieve pressure prior to starting any maintenance or repair work.

Never Leave the mower unattended while the head is in the raised position. The mower could fall causing serious injury to anyone who might inadvertently be under the mower (SBM-4)

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 proper 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, and add oil if required. As the air has been forced out of the Cylin- ders 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 resevoir. Never fill the tank above the sight gauge to allow for the expan- sion of the oil. The tank maintains pressure after the mower has been run. Stand off to one side when remov- ing the breather cap element to prevent possible injury. To relieve pressure remove the breather cap element and depress the spring loaded pressure valve to release any excess air. OPS-B- 0024_K
