[QUOTE="bobbie-g, post: 29247, member: 26"] Ken My T180 has a "lower the lift arms" knob to the right of the operator seat. If I put the arms up, turn the engine off, then lower the arms with that knob/valve, won't that just suck fluid into the rod end of the cylinder as the fluid is pushed out of the other end? Or should I have the system drained as best I can before lowering the arms? I'd have to work at that to figure out how to do it safely, but I do have an overhead beam/chain hoist in my shop. ---RC [/QUOTE]
