Hydraulic steering

[Chris F.]

I have been winterizing my 901 for the past few days. I checked my fluid level at the steering wheel and it is low. When I opened the cap there was a hissing sound, I didn't realize this system was under pressure. What is the proper procedure to add fluid? Do I need to re-pressurize the system? Thanks in advance, Chris F.:unsure:

Thanks Hutch. I have the same manual at home and it doesn't really mention pressure in the system. I was just looking for some insight from someone that has filled their unit.

Sounds to me you where just low on fluid and had some air in the line follow the manual and top it off and you should be fine for a extra step bleed out the old fluid and replace it all.
