WARNING

Pressurized  fluids  can  penetrate  the 

skin�

Disconnect and lock out power source 

before disconnecting and/or connecting 

hydraulic hoses�

The mulcher is equipped with short hoses that 

are connected to the hydraulic motor. You must 

connect your excavator hoses to these hoses. 

All mulcher motors except the A450 will have 

pressure, return and case drain connections. 

The A450 motor will not have the case drain 

connection. 

Identify the pressure port hose from the following 

chart and connect your hoses to the mulcher 

hoses. Excavator hoses must be the same size as 

the mulcher hoses. Using smaller diameter hoses 

will decrease hydraulic flow.
