3.9. CONNECT HYDRAULIC HOSES AND BALL VALVE
Note:
Determine right or left side of auger by standing at intake end facing top
discharge end.
Note:
Elbow fittings are factory installed. Use thread sealant on fitting and hose threads
(not supplied.)
Note:
The MKX100-83 model lift cylinder has two hydraulic hoses, pressure and return,
and all other models have only a pressure hose. For the MKX100-83, the
pressure hose is shorter than the return hose.
1. Connect
the
pressure
hose to the hydraulic cylinder cap-end right-angle
fitting as follows
•
MKX100-53:
Run the pressure hose under the tube and to the boot, securing
the hose at brackets welded to side of auger tube and boot. Bend tops of
these brackets over slightly to hold hose in place (see Figure 3.31).
•
MKX100-63:
Loop the pressure hose through the back-arm bracket, then run
the hose under the tube and to the boot, securing the hose at brackets
welded to side of auger tube and boot. Bend tops of these brackets over
slightly to hold hose in place (see Figure 3.32).
•
MKX100-73:
Run the pressure hose under the tube and to the boot, securing
the hose at brackets welded to side of auger tube and boot. Bend tops of
these brackets over slightly to hold hose in place (see Figure 3.31).
•
MKX100-83
:
a. Loop the pressure hose through the back-arm bracket, then run the hose
under the tube and to the boot, securing the hose at brackets welded to
side of auger tube and boot. Bend tops of these brackets over slightly to
hold hose in place (see Figure 3.33).
b. Run the return hose through the back-arm bracket, under the tube, and to
the boot, securing the hose at brackets welded to side of auger tube and
boot. Bend tops of these brackets over slightly to hold hose in place
(see Figure 3.33).
2. At the boot, install the ball valve on the pressure hose, and secure the valve
to the boot using the ball valve bracket and two 1/4” x 3/4” bolts and locknuts
(see Figure 3.34).
Important:
Protect hose ends from dirt.
3. Recheck that bolts on undercarriage, lift cylinders, and cable clamps are
tight, then remove auger tube support.
WARNING
Wear on hose can cause auger to drop
suddenly, causing serious injury or death.
