1. The hydraulic lift system contains cylinders plumbed
together. It is important that the cylinders be
connected in the proper series for the lift system to
operate correctly.
2. The hydraulic system is not filled with oil and should
be purged of air before transporting and field
operations. Carefully hitch the Ripoll to the tractor
and connect the hydraulic lift hoses. Check to make
sure the tractor hydraulic reservoir is full of the
manufacturer’s recommended oil. Slowly raise the
machine. With all cylinders fully extended remove the
1-1/2 X 16 transport lockouts (See Figure 4-3.) Store
transport lockouts as shown in Figure 4-4. Lower
and raise the unit to verify that cylinders are working
simultaneously throughout the stroke. Do not loosen
any hoses or fittings. Recheck tractor reservoir to
make sure it is within operating limits.

Escaping hydraulic fluid can cause serious
personnel injury. Relieve system pressure before
repairing, adjusting, or disconnecting. Wear
proper hand and eye protection when searching
for leaks. Use cardboard instead of hands (See
Figure 4-2.) Keep all components (cylinders,
hoses, fittings, etc.) in good repair.
