1. The hydraulic lift system contains cylinders plumbed
together. It is important that the cylinders be
connected in the proper series for the lift system to
operate correctly.
2. The hydraulic system is not filled with oil and should
be purged of air before transporting and field
operations. Carefully hitch the Weatherproofer to the
tractor and connect the hydraulic lift hoses. Check to
make sure the tractor hydraulic reservoir is full of the
manufacturer’s recommended oil. Slowly raise the
machine. With all cylinders fully extended remove the
transport lockouts
See Figure 4-3 Store transport
lockouts on light bracket assemblies . Lower and raise
the unit to verify that cylinders are working
simultaneously throughout the stroke. Do not loosen
any hoses or fittings. Recheck tractor reservoir to
make sure it is within operating limits.
