Warming Hydraulic System Oil

causym CAUTION: To prevent hydraulic oil from overheating, DO NOT hold the SCV or joystick in the extend or retract position for an extended period of time. Overheating of hydraulic oil will cause malfunction of hydraulic components and possible personal injury.

NOTE: Right-hand rear wheel removed for clarity of photo.

Hydraulic system may be slow to function when tractor is started in cold weather. This is because cold oil will not flow easily through the filter screen or hydraulic system filter (A).

Steering will be slow until system warms up.

Hydraulic system will function normally when oil warms up.
