Warm Hydraulic System Oil

Hydraulic system is slow to function when the tractor is started in cold weather. The reason is because cold oil does not flow easily through the filter screen or the hydraulic system filter. Steering is slow until system warms up. Hydraulic system functions normally after the oil warms up.

1. Start the machine and idle at low idle.
2. Turn and hold steering wheel in full left or right turn.

To prevent damage to the hydraulic pump or relief valve, do not exceed 2 to 3 minutes of warm-up time.
