OPERATION
HYDRAULIC PUMP/OIL RESERVOIR
• Check oil rese rvoir level and oil cond ition. (Add
specific 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 on the T r actor, and add oil if required. As the air has been forced out
of the Cylinders 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 reservoir. Never fill the tank above the sight gauge to allow for
the expansion of the oil. The tank maintains pressure after the mower has been run. Stand off to one side when
removing the breather cap element to prevent possible injury.
OPS-R-215
Attention: Oil Filler Cap is also the Pressure Relief Cap.
Remove cap slowly to relieve pressure before removing cap completely. Stay clear to
prevent being scalded with hot oil that may spray out of the tank that is still pressurized and
may cause serious injury to eyes, face, and exposed skin. (Ops-0001-MISC)
Avoid contact with hot surfaces including hydraulic oil tanks, pumps, motors, valves and
hose connections. Relieve hydraulic pressure before performing maintenance or repairs.
Use gloves and eye protection when servicing hot components. Contact with a hot surface
or fluid can cause serious injury from burns or scalding. (SG-34)
