5.12HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, PURGING

After replacing or repairing hydraulic system components, 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 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
