OPERATION
Hydraulic oil serves as transmission
fluid to protect and lubricate moving
parts. This fluid is also circulated
through out the hydraulic circuit to
operate functions like steering, three
point hitch, and remote functions. In
cold weather, the oil will be cold with
increased viscosity. This can cause
delayed oil circulation or abnormally
low hydraulic pressure for some time
after engine start-up. This in turn can
result in trouble to the hydraulic
system. To prevent the above, ob-
serve the following instructions:
Warm up the engine at a high idle
according to the table below:
