Checking the Hydraulic Lines
and Hoses
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Check hydraulic lines and hoses for leaks, kinked lines,
loose mounting supports, wear, loose fittings, weather
deterioration, and chemical deterioration. Make all
necessary repairs before operating.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury.
• Ensure that all hydraulic fluid hoses and
lines are in good condition and all hydraulic
connections and fittings are tight before
applying pressure to the hydraulic system.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin
hole leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks.
• Safely relieve all pressure in the hydraulic
system before performing any work on the
hydraulic system.
• Seek immediate medical attention if fluid
is injected into skin.
Miscellaneous

Backlapping the Cutting
System
Contacting the reels may cause personal injury
or death.
• Never place your hands or feet in the reel
area while the engine is running.
• While backlapping, the reels may stall and
then start again.
• Do not attempt to start reels again with your
hand or foot.
• Do not adjust the reels while the engine is
running.
• If the reel stalls, stop the engine before
attempting to clear the reel.
1. Position the machine on a clean and level surface,
lower the cutting units, stop the engine, engage
parking brake, and remove the key from the ignition
switch.
2. Remove the console cover to expose the controls.
