ASSEMBLY
FINAL PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
Place operators safety and operation decals on the steering column and side counsel
where they are clearly visible to the operator. These decals should be understood by
each operator of the machine in conjunction with the safety and operation section of this
book. The decals are to be maintaned in good condition as a reminder to the operator,
and should be replaced if damaged.
Finally, all bosses, pins and pivot points will need to be greased as instructed in the
maintenance section of this manual. The hydraulic reservoir can also be filled with the
recommended fluid (see maintenance section) and the filter installed in the top of the
tank. Double check all fittings and fasteners BEFORE starting tractor. Also secure
any loose hoses together with zip ties and wrap with split hoses where friction may
occur on the hoses.
BEFORE starting or operating the tractor you must read and understand
the safety and operation sections of this manual completely.
BE SURE THE BALL VALVES ARE OPEN! Start tractor and allow instruments to
stabilize. Using a piece of paper or cardboard as noted in the safety and maintenance
sections, check all fittings and connections for hydraulic leaks.
If a leak is found, you must shut down the tractor, set the cutter on the ground.
Before attempting to fix the leak, you must actuate the lift valve handles several times to
relieve any pressure in the lines.
Before operating the plows, the front and side plows should be slowly moved
throughout the full range of motion. Watch for any condition that would cause pinching
or excess stress on the hoses. The steering and front axle travel should also be
carefully moved through their full range of motion. If any condition occurs in which the
hoses contact the tires, the steering and / or front axle travel may need to be limited as
described in the tractor operators manual. This should also be done if the tires rub, or
are extremely close to any other part of the plow. This may include adding shims, or
adjusting stop bolts in the tractor front to solve the problem. While checking motion,
you should also check that the control circuits are connected according to the operators
decal for the valve handles.
