Relieving Hydraulic System Pressure
Before disconnecting or performing any work on the hy-
draulic system, all pressure in the hydraulic system
must be relieved. Park machine on a level surface, make
sure that PTO switch is OFF, lower cutting decks f ully,
stop engine and engage parking brake. Wait for all mov-
ing parts to come to a complete stop.
System pressure in lift circuit is relieved when the cutting
decks are fully lowered.
System pressure in mow circuit is relieved when the
PTO switch is disengaged.
To relieve hydraulic pressure in traction circuit, turn igni-
tion switch to ON (engine not running) and move traction
pedal to both forward and reverse directions. Turn igni-
tion switch to OFF after relieving traction circuit pres-
sure.
To relieve hydraulic pressure in steering circuit, rotate
steering wheel in both directions.
After all hydraulic system pressures have been relieved,
remove key from ignition switch.
