2. Start the tractor. Leave the directional valve in the neutral position and allow hydraulic oil to circulate for approximately
10to15minutesoruntiladequatelywarmed.
3. Prime the centrifugal pump with all valves open. (See Priming the Pump.)

5. To shutdown, return directional valve to neutral and allow the pump to come to a gradual stop.
When bypassing hydraulic oil, a large amount of heat can be generated which will damage the tractor’s hydraulic
system.Besuretomonitortheoiltempwhenbypassinghydraulicoil.

If the pump is not brought to a gradual stop, the sudden change in hydraulic pressure and pump RPM could cause
damage to the pump’s drive system.
