Startup Procedures
Verify the SmarTrax System Installation
1. Turn on the machine.
2. Double-check all fittings and hose connections to ensure that:
• Hoses are not rubbing on or interfering with moving parts.
• Hydraulic fluid is not leaking for the system.
3. Turn the machine’s wheels fully from side to side repeatedly to remove air from the hydraulic system.
Note: During the SmarTrax system installation, whenever the hydraulic system is purged for
maintenance, or when fittings are loosened or disconnected, air is introduced into the lines of the
hydraulic system. If air pockets are present, the wheels may not move consistently when the
steering wheel is turned.
4. Continue turning the wheels until they move steadily and smoothly when the steering wheel is turned.
WARNING
When starting the machine for the first time
after installing SmarTrax, be sure that all
persons stand clear in case a hose has not
been properly tightened.
WARNING
Do not use hands to check for leaks. Hydraulic
fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and
cause serious injury or death.
