Whenever hydraulic fluid has been drained from the pump (system drain, flush,
or pump removal/installation) it is important to properly prime the hydraulic pump.
Priming the hydraulic pump ensures that the pump has sufficient hydraulic fluid
while charging the hydraulic system.
If the hydraulic pump was rebuilt or replaced, make sure the pump
housing is at least half full of clean hydraulic fluid after installation.
1. Make sure all hydraulic connections and lines are secured tightly.
2. Check the hydraulic fluid level in the hydraulic tank and adjust as necessary;
refer to the Operator's Manual.
3. With the ignition switch in the Off position pull the engine recoil starter 5
times. Wait 15 seconds then pull the engine recoil starter 5 more times.
4. Charge the hydraulic system; refer to
5–42).
