Removal (Fig. 101)
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
stop engine, engage parking brake and remove key
from the ignition switch.
2. Read the General Precautions for Removing and
Installing Hydraulic System Components at the begin-
ning of the Service and Repairs section of this chapter.
3. To prevent contamination of hydraulic system during
hydraulic reservoir removal, thoroughly clean exterior of
reservoir.
4. Disconnect the hydraulic tube from the bottom of the
reservoir to a llow draining of reservoir. Drain reservoir
into a suitable container.
5. Disconnect remaining hydraulic hoses from reser-
voir. Label the hydraulic hoses to show their correct
position on the reservoir for assembly purposes.
6. Remove hydraulic reservoir from frame.
7. If hydraulic fittings are to be removed from reservoir,
mark fitting orientation to allow c orrect assembly. Re-
move fittings from reservoir and discard O- rings.
Inspection
1. Clean hydraulic reservoir and suction strainer with
solvent.
2. Inspect reservoir for leaks, cracks or other damage.
Installation (Fig. 101)
1. If fittings were removed from reservoir, lubricate and
place new O- rings onto fittings. Install fittings into reser-
voir openings using marks made during the removal
process to properly orientate fittings. Torque fittings to
values provided (see Fig. 101).
2. Install reservoir to frame.
IMPORTANT: When tightening hoses to reservoir
fittings, hold fitting with wrench to prevent over-
tightening of fitting and potential reservoir damage.
3. Connect hydraulic hoses to reservoir fittings (see
Hydraulic Hose and Tube Installation in this chapter).
4. Fill reservoir with hydraulic fluid to proper level (see
traction unit Operator’s Manual).
5. Follow hydraulic system start- up procedures (see
Charge Hydraulic System in this chapter).
