IMPORTANT: While engaging the traction circuit,
monitor the indicator on the high flow hydraulic fil-
ter. If the indicator should show red, either reduce
pressure on the traction pedal or reduce engine
speed to decrease hydraulic flow through the filter.
9. With engine running at low idle speed, slowly move
the traction pedal to the forward direction to allow flow
through the traction circuit and high flow filter. Keep trac-
tion circuit engaged for five (5) minutes while gradually
increasing both forward pressure on traction pedal and
engine speed. Monitor filter indicator to make sure that
green color is always showing during operation.
NOTE: When applying brakes to increase traction sys-
tem pressure, make sure that parking brake latch is not
depressed. If parking brake latch is depressed, engine
will stop running.
10.With engine running at high idle speed (3100 to 3150
RPM) and traction pedal moved to the forward direction,
periodically apply brakes to increase pressure in trac-
tion circuit. While monitoring filter indicator, continue this
process for an additional five (5) minutes.
IMPORTANT: If using a filter that is not the bi−direc-
tional Toro high flow filter, do not press the traction
pedal in the reverse direction. If flow is reversed
when using a filter that is not bi−directional, debris
from the filter will re−enter the traction circuit.
11.With engine running at high idle speed, alternately
move traction pedal from forward to reverse. While mon-
itoring filter indicator, continue this process for an addi-
tional five (5) minutes.
12.Shut engine off and remove key from ignition switch.
13.Remove high flow hydraulic filter and hydraulic hose
kit from machine. Reconnect pump inlet and balancing
hoses to transmission fittings. Make sure to properly
tighten hoses (see Hydraulic Hose and Tube Installation
in the General Information section of this chapter).
14.Repeat steps 4 through 13 to filter remaining piston
pump circuit.
15.After filtering has been completed, lower machine to
ground.
16.Check oil level in hydraulic reservoir and add correct
oil if necessary.
