4-7 HYDRAULIC MAINTENANCE
4-7.1 Check the tractor hydraulic fluid level
per tractor owners manual and after any
leakage. Check fluid level with the cylinders
in the retracted position.
4-7.2 If a cylinder or valve leaks, disassemble
the parts to determine the cause of the leak.
Any time a cylinder is opened up, or when-
ever any seal replacement is necessary, it is
advisable to clean all parts and replace all
seals. Seal kits are available from your
dealer.
4-7.3 Check all hydraulic hoses weekly. Look
for binding or cracking. Replace all worn or
defective parts immediately.
4-8 STORAGE
4-8.1 The service life of the Disc Ripper will
be extended by proper off-season storage
practices. Prior to storing the unit, complete
the following procedures:
a. Completely clean the unit.
b. Inspect the machine for worn or defective
parts. Replace as needed.
c. Repaint all areas where the original paint is

or some other object, to keep them out of
the soil.
