BLEEDING AIR FROM HYDRAULICS
When any of the hydraulic parts are disconnected or
removed or when the oil is changed, air must be bled
from teh system.
1. With the bypass vlave (brass nut with a hole
in the middle on each fo the hydraulic pumps)
closed, slowly move control handles in both the
forward and reverse directions. As air is purged
from the unit, the oil level in the reservoir will
drop and bubbles may appear in the fluid.
2. Place the control handles in the neutral postion
and open the bypass valve using a 5/8" wrench.
Slowly move the control handles in both forward
and reverse ddirection to purge the air from the
closed circuit.
3. Close the bypass valve and run the unit in
both directions for serveral minutes until any
remaining air is purged from the unit.
4. Refill the reservoir as necessary. Check for any
fluid leaks. The transmission is now ready for
operation. Check reservoir daily for proper fluid
level,. It should be filled to the top, or about 4
quarts.
