Hydraulic Hose Hook-up
1.
Route bucket hydraulic hoses (#6 & #7) straight
through hose holder bracket (#3).
2. Clean quick disconnect couplers of dirt and grease.
3. Connect lower hydraulic hose (#6) to quick
disconnect coupler “A”.
4. Connect upper hydraulic hose (#7) to quick
disconnect coupler “B”.
5. Make sure quick disconnect couplers are fully
engaged. If they are not, check the following:
a. Make sure couplers are same size and type.
b. Make sure hydraulic system pressure has been
released.
6. Extend and retract hydraulic cylinder with the push-
button joystick. Switch hydraulic hoses (#6 & #7) at
couplers (“A” & “B”) if hydraulic cylinders operate
opposite of the direction intended.
7.
Check tractor hydraulic fluid level. If low, add
recommended hydraulic fluid. Refer to your tractor
Operator’s Manual for recommended hydraulic fluid
and procedure for checking the level.

4. Pull hairpin cotters (#5) and remove lower hitch
pins (#1) from the bucket.
5. Remove nut (#4), bolt (#3), and hitch pin (#2).
6. Restart tractor and back away from bucket.

8. Replace hitch pins (#1 & #2) in the bucket clevises.
9. Secure lower hitch pins with hairpin cotters (#5).
10. Secure center hitch pin with bolt (#3) and lock
nut (#4). Screw locknut on only 3 or 4 full turns.
Check Equipment Clearances
It is important to check clearance between tractor and
bucket before putting bucket into service. Make sure
hoses are long enough and won’t become pinched or
entangled in the equipment. Also, make sure the bucket
does not come in contact with tractor loader by carefully
going through its full range of motions.
1.
Visually inspect hydraulic hoses for possible pinch
points and shortness. Make hose adjustments before
operating hydraulics to check clearances.
2. Start tractor and raise bucket approximately 12" off
the ground.
3. If necessary, have someone stand nearby that can
motion for the operator to stop if a problem develops
while completing steps 4-7 below.
4. Fully extend bucket hydraulic cylinders to pivot upper
jaw fully down.
5. Raise loader arms just enough for the bucket to clear
the ground while extending and retracting tilt cylinder
on end of loader.
6. Fully extend and retract tilt cylinder on end of loader
while watching for interferences between loader,
bucket, and hydraulic hoses. Stop movement if hoses
are interfere with loader or tractor.
7.
Fully retract bucket cylinders to pivot upper jaw fully
up and repeat steps 5 & 6.
8. Raise loader arms fully up and repeat steps 4 & 6.
9. Lower bucket to ground & close upper bucket jaw.
10. Recheck tractor hydraulic fluid level before putting
bucket into operation. Refer to your tractor’s
Operator’s Manual for recommended hydraulic fluid
and procedure for checking hydraulic fluid level.
