HOW TO RELEASE PRESSURE TRAPPED
IN THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
1. Lower the attachments and the blade down to the
ground.
2. Turn the key to "STOP" position and shut off the
engine.
3. After stopping the engine, turn the key to "RUN"
position.
4. Set the lock lever to "Unlock" position.
5. Move the operating lever to release pressure in the
hydraulic system.
[How to release pressure trapped in the AUX port]
1. Perform the above operations of 1 to 4.
2. Turn "ON" the AUX port enable switch.
3. Make sure that the flow volume in all the AUX ports is
not minimized.
If the pressure is removed after minimizing the flow
volume in the AUX port, release pressure is not
removed completely and the hose coupler may be
unable to connect and disconnect.
4. Move the AUX port knob mounted to the operating
lever to the right and left to release pressure in the
AUX port.
D There are two types of machine, one has the AUX port
knobs mounted to the right and left operating levers,
