pump housing upward and wait for a steady flow of oil to flow out from under
housing. Retighten capscrews. Do this for both pumps. Note: Hydraulic
reservoir can be pressurized to up to 5 psi to speed this process.

drive system in the full speed position.
Check oil level as stated in Section 5.1.8.
