MAINTENANCE
POWER CIRCUIT
The pump unit assembly is made up of the oil reservoir, and hydraulic pump. The pump is driven by the
engine crankshaft through a drive shaft. Therefore, oil is being pumped whenever the engine is running.
When the mower is off, oil is directed to the reservoir by the solenoid motor control valve and does not flow
to the cutter motor. Cooling is provided by patented in frame cooling tubes in the wing mowers.
