HYDRAULIC SYSTEM HOOK-UP INSTRUCTIONS
M-1653 2-15-18-2
GENERAL INFORMATION
Once the installation instructions are complete, you are now ready to make the hydrau-
lic connections necessary to operate your earth drill.
READ AND UNDERSTAND SAFETY INFORMATION PRIOR TO
MAKING HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS.
Your equipment dealer is in the best position to advise you as to where the best place
on your machine is to make the hydraulic connections to power your earth drill drive unit. The
list below shows the most common places to “tap” into the hydraulic system on various types
of machines.
• SKID STEER LOADERS
- Auxiliary hydraulic outlets.
• BACKHOES & EXCAVATORS
- Auxiliary hydraulic outlets or bucket curl cylinder circuit.
• WHEEL LOADERS & TRACTOR LOADERS
- Auxiliary hydraulic outlets or bucket tilt
(dump) cylinder circuit.
Determine the length of hydraulic hoses required to plumb drive unit into the place on
your machine where you will be “tapping” into the hydraulics. Be sure the two hydraulic hoses
are long enough to perform at the full range of the earth drill’s operating capacity. A case drain
line will also be required to operate your earth drill.
• Models X4075, X5075, X6075, X8075 & 8K2
- These models require two 3/4” (19mm) ID
hydraulic hoses, with #12 JIC Female fittings on one end of each hose, to connect hoses to
drive unit fittings.
A case drain line is also required.
The skid steer hydraulic kits for the high
torque auger drives include a case drain line. An excavator Drain Line Kit is available through
your local dealer.
NOTE:
Fittings on the other end of each hydraulic hose should match the threads on the hy-
draulic quick couplers to be used.
WARNING! HOSES AND FITTINGS MUST HAVE A CONTINUOUS OPERATING PRES-
SURE RATING OF AT LEAST 25% HIGHER THAN THE HIGHEST PRES-
SURES OF THE SYSTEM YOU ARE “TAPPING” INTO.
Once all of the hydraulic connections have been made and checked for leaks, you are
now ready to operate your earth drill.
READ AND UNDERSTAND OPERATING INSTRUC-
TIONS AND SAFETY INFORMATION PRIOR TO OPERATING YOUR EARTH DRILL.
