Hydraulic Couplers
• Thoroughly clean the quick couplers
before making connections. Dirt can
quickly damage the hydraulic system.
AVOID BURNS
Hydraulic fluid, fluid tubes, fittings and
quick couplers can get hot when
running the machine and attachments.
Be careful when connecting and
disconnecting quick couplers.
Connecting Hydraulic Couplers:
Remove any dirt or debris from the surface of both
the male and female couplers, and from the
outside diameter of the male coupler. Visually
check the couplers for corroding, cracking,
damage, or excessive wear. If any of these
conditions exist, replace the coupler(s).
NOTE: The QuattroPlow is supplied with flush
face couplers.
NOTE: DO NOT attach hoses to high flow lines
on a machine equipped with the High
Flow Option.
NOTE: DO NOT hammer on or heat up
couplers to connect or disconnect.
Doing so will damage couplers
resulting in leaks.
