Completing Installation
No Parts Required
Procedure
1.
Grease all the new grease fittings with Number 2
lithium-based grease.
2.
Check the hydraulic fluid level and replenish as
required.
3.
Connect the negative (–) battery cable.
4.
Start the machine and operate the rear lift. Check for
leaks and replenish hydraulic fluid as necessary.
Note:
If installed correctly, the manifold should have
no electrical power when the key is in the O

Operation
Lift/Lower Switch
Move the switch to the L
IFT
position to raise the attachment
and to the L
OWER
position to lower the attachment (
Float/Power Down Switch
Moving the switch to the F
LOAT
position allows the
attachment to follow the contour of the ground. Moving
the switch to the P
OWER
D
OWN
position adds weight from
the machine to increase ground engagement force (
). Higher ground engagement force decreases the traction
capacity of the machine.
