Next, install the adapter fittings into the hydraulic motor as seen in Detail B on the previous page.

Refer to Detail C on the previous page and assemble the hydraulic flow divider as shown. When asssembled, mount the
hydraulic flow divider onto the mount on the rear tube of the crop sweeper using the 1/4" x 2-1/2" bolts and nylock nuts.

Once all of the hydraulic fittings are installed and tightened, the hydraulic hoses can be connected. To help keep hoses organized,
do not untie the hoses until they are needed. The hydraulic hoses are marked with different color ties to help identify through the
assembly process. Hydraulic hose connections are detailed in the following pages.
