3. Disconnect the traction control cable ball joint and
jam nuts from the neutral arm. Position traction cable
away from the pump assembly.
4. Thoroughlycleanhydraulichoseendsandfittingson
gear and piston (traction) pumps to prevent hydraulic
system contamination.
5. Label all hydraulic hose connections on gear and
piston pumps for assembly purposes.
6. Clamp pump inlet hose (item 10) to prevent draining
the h ydraulic reservoir.
7. Loosen hose clamp and remove inlet hose from the
gear pump.
8. Disconnect hydraulic hoses from fittings on pump
assembly.Allowhosesto drainintoa suitablecontainer.
Plug hoses and fittings to prevent contamination.
CAUTION
