Hydraulic Hose Hook-up
Refer to Figure 2-1:
Four cylinders are connected to four duplex outlets on the
tractor. Make sure these duplex outlets have infinite
variable flow control. Do not run tractor to make
adjustments to hose hook-up. Adjustments will be made
“Control Lever Center Position Checks”
page 30.
1. Connect ARM1 hoses to a single duplex outlet on the
tractor. This is best if connected to the control closest
to the operator.
2. Connect ARM2 hoses to the control lever next to
ARM1 lever. This control lever must be capable of
being placed in float position when gauge wheels are
included.
3. Connect DECK hoses to the control lever next to
ARM2 lever. This control lever must be capable of
being placed in float position when gauge wheels are
included.
Refer to Figure 2-2:
4. Connect BREAKAWAY hoses to the control lever
next to DECK lever.

NOTE:
The response time with independent
controlled cylinders is faster than tractor controlled
cylinders. If frequent changes to the deck position
are required, independent controlled cylinders
should be considered.

WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands
when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of
injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene
The hoses on each outlet should be connected such that
when the control lever is pushed forward, the arm
(or deck) extends. Cycle hydraulic cylinders with tractor
console controls to ensure they operate properly as
follows:
Pre-Operational Instructions
