Preparation and Setup

Hitch Tractor (LC40 only)
Crushing Hazard:
Do not stand or place any part of your body between the
implement and moving tractor. You may be severely injured or
killed by being crushed between the tractor and implement.
Stop tractor engine and set parking brake before installing the
hitch pins.
4.
Connect the tractor lift arms to the lower hitch pins. If
using a quick hitch, ensure that the pins lock
securely.
5.
Connect the top link to the upper hitch pin.
Front-to-back leveling is performed in later steps.
Hydraulic Hose Hookup
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Only trained personnel should work on system hydraulics!
Check all hydraulic lines and fittings before applying
pressure. Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic
lines. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems. Fluid escaping from a
very small hole can be almost invisible. Use paper or
cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for leaks. Escaping
fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate
the skin causing serious injury. If hydraulic fluid is injected
into the skin or eyes, seek immediate medical assistance from a
physician familiar with this type of injury. Within a few hours
gangrene can start to develop. DO NOT DELAY.
Great Plains hydraulic hoses have color coded handle
grips to help you hookup hoses to your tractor outlets.
Hoses that go to the same remote valve are marked with
the same color.
Color Coded Hose Handles
To distinguish hoses on the same hydraulic circuit, refer
to the symbol molded into the handle grip. Hoses with an
extended-cylinder symbol feed cylinder base ends.
Hoses with a retracted-cylinder symbol feed cylinder rod
ends.
Connect fold hoses to suitable tractor remote valves.
