Removal (Fig. 70)
1. Parkthe machineona levelsurface, engageparking
brake, lower cutting units and stopengine. 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. Tiltoperatorseatand engageseatpropto retainseat
in the raised position.
4. Locate hydraulic mow control manifold.
5. Label all hydraulic and electrical connections for as-
sembly purposes. Thoroughly clean hydraulic connec-
tions prior to loosening hydraulic lines.
CAUTION
Before openinghydraulic system, operateall hy-
draulic controls to relieve system pressure and
avoid injury from pressurized hydraulic oil. See
Relieving HydraulicSystemPressure inthe Gen-
eral Information section of this chapter.
6. Disconnect hydraulic hoses and lines from fittings in
manifold. Allow lines to drain into a s uitable container.
Remove and discard O--rings from fittings.
7. Putcaps orplugs ondisconnectedhoses andfittings
to prevent contamination.
8. Unplug wire harness leads from solenoid coils and
switches on manifold.
9. Remove three (3) flange head screws that secure
manifold to machine frame.
10.Remove manifold block from machine.
11.Ifnecessary,removehydraulicfittingsfrommanifold.
Discard any removed O--rings.
Installation (Fig. 70)
1. If fittings were removed from mow control manifold,
lubricateandplace newO--rings tofittings.Installfittings
into manifold (see Hydraulic Fitting Installation in the
General Information section of this chapter).
2. Position mow control manifold to frame. Install three
(3) flange head screws but do not fully tighten.
3. Remove caps and plugs from disconnected lines
and fittings.
4. Lubricate and install new O--rings on manifold fit-
tings. Connect hydraulic lines to hydraulic fittings on
manifold. Properly tighten all connections (see Hydrau-
lic Fitting Installation in the General Information sec-
tion).
5. Secure hydraulic manifold to frame by tightening
three (3) flange head screws.
6. Plug wire harness leads to solenoid coils and
switches on manifold.
7. Lower operator seat.
8. Check oillevel in hydraulic reservoirand add correct
oil if necessary.
9. Follow Hydraulic System Start--up procedures (see
Hydraulic System Start--up in this section).
