b.Shorten inner and outer guard tubes equally.
c.Shorten inner and outer sliding profiles by the same length as the guard tubes.
d.Proper overlap is a minimum of
e.Round off all sharp edges and remove burrs. Grease sliding profiles.
9.Route cylinder hoses through hose support loop and connect to tractor remote outlets. Refer to "Hydraulic Plumbing" on page 9 for proper hookup. If the tractor being used does not have three pair of supply outlets, an optional control valve kit is available from your dealer.
10.Cycle the hydraulic system by raising and lowering the center deck cylinder and the wing fold cylinders. If op- eration is sluggish, it may be necessary to purge the system of trapped air.
a.With the wings lowered to the ground, loosen the hydraulic hose fitting at each wing cylinder slightly to allow fluid to escape.
b.Slowly activate the tractor control valve to purge any trapped air from the system.
c.Tighten each fitting.
The optional center deck lift cylinder is purged in the same manner. The cutter should be lowered to the ground or the cylinder fully retracted before loosening the hose fitting (as described above).
11.The PTO Constant Velocity shaft or conventional PTO (if used) should be checked for adequate clearance under all ranges of cutter height depending on the tractor being used. With the PTO shaft attached to the tractor, slowly raise and lower the cutter to upper and lower limits while observing clearance distance be- tween hitch and PTO shaft. If an interference condi- tion exists, it may be necessary to modify the drawbar height/length of the tractor.
!DANGER!
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate skin. Wear protec- tive gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hy- draulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by a doctor or gangrene may result.
