tractor hydraulic service.
8. Before removing the safety lock plates very carefully move each control lever
forward and back a small distance until each cylinder is able to extend and
retract slightly. Care must be taken as to not damage or strain any fabrication
with the safety lock plates in position. This procedure will prime all cylinders
with oil and remove any air trapped in the hydraulic circuit. Removing the safety
lock plates before doing so could cause the mast to fall if the cylinders are not
charged with oil.
9. Remove the safety lock plates and slew lock pin.
10. Fully operate all controls. Always raise the hydraulic rear leg and foot plate
off the ground before using the slew or telescopic control. Care must be taken
with the weight control, with the weight lifted up the mast operate the control
very carefully to slowly lower the weight. A falling weight down to the bottom of
the mast will cause damage.
