Preparation and Setup
Hydraulic Hose Hookup
Crushing Hazard:
Do not stand or place any body part between planter and
moving tractor. You may be severely injured or killed by being
crushed between the tractor and planter. Stop tractor engine
and set parking brake before attaching cables and hoses.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use
paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for leaks.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems. Escaping fluid under pressure
can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin causing
serious injury. If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical
assistance from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
Only trained personnel should work on system hydraulics.
Great Plains hydraulic hoses are color coded handle
grips to help you hookup hoses to your tractor outlets.
Hoses that go to the same remote valve are marked with
the same color.
Current Style Color Coded Hose Handles
To distinguish hoses on the same hydraulic circuit, refer
to the symbol molded into the handle grip. Hoses with an
extended-cylinder symbol feed cylinder base ends.
Hoses with a retracted-cylinder symbol feed cylinder rod
ends.
For the hydraulic motor, connect the hose under the
retracted cylinder symbol to the pressure side of the
motor. Connect the hose under the extended cylinder
symbol to the return side of the motor.
Older Style Hoses with Color Ties
.
Great Plains hydraulic hoses are color coded. Hoses that
go to the same remote valve are marked with the same
color tie. To distinguish hoses on the same hydraulic
circuit, refer to hose label.
