Tractor Control
Hydraulic Hose Hook-up
Refer to Figure 2-1:
Three cylinders are connect to three duplex outlets on the
tractor. Make sure these duplex outlets have infinite
variable flow control.
Do Not run tractor to make
adjustments to hose hook-up. Adjustments will be made
later during Console Control Lever Functional Checks on
page 22.
1. Connect “ARM 1” hoses to a single duplex outlet on
the tractor. This is best if connected to the control
closest to the operator.
2. Connect “ARM 2” hoses to the control lever next to
“ARM 1” lever. This control lever must be capable of
being placed in float position when gauge wheels are
included.
3. Connect “Deck Pivot” hoses to the control lever next
to “ARM 2” lever. This control lever must be capable
of being placed in float position when gauge wheels
are included.
NOTE: The response time with solenoid and
independent controlled cylinders is faster than
tractor controlled cylinders. Therefore, the operator
might want to consider going with solenoid
controlled cylinders or independent controlled
cylinders when frequent changes to deck
positioning are required.

WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands
when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of
injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene
may result. DO NOT DELAY.
The hoses on each outlet should be connected such that
when the control lever is pushed forward, the arm
(or deck) extends. Cycle hydraulic cylinders with tractor
console controls to ensure they operate properly as
follows:
Pre-Operational Instructions
1. Read and understand “Transport Safety Chain” on
page 18 before continuing.
2. Remove transport safety chain from its latched
position and place loose end on the storage hook.
3. Start tractor and adjust 3-point hitch until driveline is
approximately level.
