b. Pump is making noise - check for obstruction in suction hose and tank suction assembly, check alignment of
pump driveshaft.
c. Cylinders will not raise - hoses from cylinder incorrectly connected to valve bank, pump not suppling oil.
d. Cylinder raises slowly - hoses from cylinder incorrectly connected to valve bank, work port reliefs on valve
bank set too low - replace as required.

Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and
completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and
each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and
Implement. Learn how to stop the tractor engine suddenly in an
emergency. Never allow inexperienced or untrained personnel to operate
the Tractor or Implement without supervision. Make sure the operator
has fully read and understood the manuals prior to operation. (SG-4)
Always maintain the safety signs in good readable condition. If the safety signs are missing,
damaged, or unreadable, obtain and install replacement safety signs immediately. (SG-5)
BEFORE leaving the tractor seat, always set the parking brake and/or set
the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the
engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the
tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor
from rolling. Never dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine
is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only. (SG-9)
