Processor Hydraulic Connection
Safety first! Read and understand the safety instructions
(pg.2-3)
before beginning any hydraulic connection.
The Boss II processor’s hydraulic system requires dual outlets on the tractor.
The machine’s hydraulic system performs two functions. One
function tilts the fork for loading bales to top of the machine.
The second function powers the bale pusher by means of a
hydraulic motor. Desired speed of the pusher is controlled by
a flow control valve located on the front of the machine. See
Adjustment section.
• Before connecting or disconnecting hydraulic hoses, read
your tractor or power unit’s operator’s manual for detailed
instructions on connecting and disconnecting hydraulic
attachments.
• Before applying pressure to the system, be sure that all
connections are tight and be sure there are no damaged
hoses, lines or fittings.
• Make certain that the hoses cannot interfere with or actuate
the quick-attach mechanism. Make certain that hoses will
not be pinched, or get tangled, in any equipment.
•
Check for cylinder wear and broken flails and flail bracket wear.
• Remove quick coupler caps and clean quick coupler ends before connecting to power unit.
• Do not lock the auxiliary hydraulics of your power unit in the “ON” position.
• Attach hydraulic hose quick couplers to your power unit as per the instructions in your power unit’s
operator’s manual.
• After connecting hydraulic lines, operate the hydraulics on this product to check hose clearances
and to check for any interference.
•
Shut off engine, set parking brake and relieve hydraulic pressure before connecting or
disconnecting hydraulic lines. Refer to your power unit’s manual for instruction on how to relieve
hydraulic pressure in lines.
