Chapter 6Start-Up Procedures
Remove Air from the Hydraulic System
Anytime a hydraulic system is purged for maintenance, or during the SmarTrax system installation, air is
introduced into the hydraulic lines. Anytime the system is purged or fittings are loosened or disconnected, it is
important to remove air pockets from the hydraulic system to avoid unwanted operation of the hydraulic
system.
To remove air from the hydraulic system, turn the wheels fully from side to side repeatedly. If air pockets are
present, the wheels may not move consistently while the steering wheel is operated. Continue turning the
wheels until the wheels move steadily and smoothly with the steering wheel.
WARNING
When starting the machine for the first time,
keep the area around the machine clear of
people or bystanders in case a fitting or hose
has not been fully tightened.
WARNING
DO NOT use hands to check for leaks.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate
the skin and cause serious injury or death.
Always wear appropriate protective equipment
when working with the hydraulic system.
Apache AS 20 Series SmarTrax Installation Manual
Verify the SmarTrax Installation
1. Turn on the machine.
2. With the machine running, double-check all fitting and hose connections to ensure that:
• Hoses are not rubbing or interfering with other moving parts.
• Hydraulic fluid is not leaking.
3. If there are any problems, shutdown the machine and correct problems immediately.
