3. Thoroughly clean hydraulic hose ends and fittings on
deck lift manifold to prevent hydraulic system contami-
nation.
4. Label all hydraulic and electrical connections for as-
sembly purposes.
5. Disconnect hydraulic hoses connected to the hy-
draulic fittings on the deck lift manifold. Allow hoses to
drain into a suitable container. Install clean caps or plugs
on disconnected hoses and fittings to prevent contami-
nation.
6. Disconnect wire harness connectors from solenoid
coils on manifold.
7. Support manifold to prevent it from falling.
8. Remove fasteners that secure manifold to mount
plate. Remove manifold from machine.
9. If hydraulic fittings are to be removed from deck lift
manifold, mark fitting orientation to allow correct assem-
bly. Remove hydraulic fittings from manifold as needed.
Discard fitting O−rings.
Deck Lift Manifold Installation (Fig. 148 or 149)
1. If hydraulic fittings were removed from deck lift man-
ifold, lubricate new O−rings with clean hydraulic oil,
position O−rings to fittings and install fittings into man-
ifold ports (see Hydraulic Fitting Installation in the Gen-
eral Information section of this chapter).
2. Position deck lift manifold to machine and secure
manifold with removed fasteners.
3. Remove caps and plugs from hydraulic hoses and
fittings.
4. Lubricate and install new O−rings on control man-
ifold fittings. Using labels placed during manifold remov-
al, correctly connect hydraulic hoses to control manifold
(see Hydraulic Hose and Tube Installation in the Gener-
al Information section of this chapter).
5. Connect wire harness connectors to solenoid coils
on manifold.
6. Check oil level in hydraulic reservoir and add correct
oil if necessary.
7. Lower and secure operator seat.
8. Follow Hydraulic System Start−up procedures (see
Hydraulic System Start−up in this section).
