To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic hoses and cylinders are supplied fully charged
with oil from the factory and should not require purging. If
any of the decks raise or lower in a jerking motion, then
purge hydraulics as follows:
1.
With mower decks lowered onto the ground, remove
connecting pins (#1) from rod end of the 2 wing
cylinders (#2) and rear deck cylinder (#3).
2.
Support cylinders vertically with rod end up.
3.
Use tractor hydraulic system to fully retract both wing
cylinders and rear deck cylinder.
4.
On base end of each cylinder, loosen hose fitting (#5)
and apply hydraulic pressure until air-free oil leaks
from fitting and then tighten fitting.
5.
Use tractor hydraulic system to fully extend both wing
cylinders and rear deck cylinder.
6.
On rod end of each cylinder, loosen hose fitting (#4)
and apply hydraulic pressure until air free oil leaks
from fitting and then tighten fitting.
7.
Re-pin all clevises. Secure pins with cotter pins (#6)
by bending one or more legs of the cotter pin.

Slowly cycle all decks to transport position while
checking to make sure hydraulic hoses are not
pinched in the process.
