MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
· Be sure end of grease gun and zerks are clean before using. Debris injected into bearings, etc. with grease
will cause immediate damage.
· DO NOT use a power grease gun to lubricate bearings. These require very small and exact amounts of
lubrication. Refer to the detailed Maintenance Section for specic lubrication instructions. DO NOT over-
grease bearings.
· Be alert to maintenance indicators such as the in-tank lter pressure gauge, hydraulic reservoir sight gauge,
etc. Take the required action to correct any problems immediately.
· Release of energy from pressurized systems may cause inadvertent actuation of cylinders, or sudden release
of compressed springs. Before disconnecting any hoses relieve pressure by shutting tractor o󰀨, setting cutter
on ground and actuating lift valve handles.
DO NOT use hands to check for suspected leaks in hydraulic hoses! Hydraulic uid
escaping under pressure can have su󰀩cient force to penetrate skin and cause serious
injury. If uid is injected into skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours or
gangrene may result. Use a small piece of wood or cardboard, not hands, to search for
pin hose leaks. Be sure all pressure is relieved whenever disconnecting lines. Be sure all
connections are tight and hoses and lines are not damaged before applying pressure.
BREAK IN PERIOD
In addition to following the break in instructions for your particular boat, the in-line hydraulic uid lter should be
replaced after the rst 50 hours of service. Thereafter the lter should be replaced every 500 hours, or yearly,
which ever comes rst.
