Shut off your prime mover’s engine, remove the starter key, wait for all moving parts to come
to a stop, and relieve all pressure in the hydraulic lines.
5.
Remove all the acorn nuts, lock washers, and bolts except the one on each end of the cutting
edge.
6.
On one end of the cutting edge, remove the remaining acorn nut and lower the cutting edge to

OTHER MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR ALL STANDARD FLOW MODELS:
Hydraulic Hose Connections: To make sure that the fan and auger motors' rotation is correct, the
hose path must be: (a) from the prime mover to the top port of the fan motor, (b) from the bottom port
of the fan motor to the top port of the auger motor, and (c) from the bottom port of the auger motor to
the prime mover. (See PART ILLUSTRATION (Standard) section for the check valve location.)
