MAINTENANCE

Hose or Fitting Replacement

DO NOT

use thread sealant/tape on hydraulic hoses

or fittings. These materials could damage the product.

Follow recommended replacement procedures for

fittings and hoses.

1. Lower the blade completely. Turn the control OFF.

Remove the fill plug.

NOTE: Remove fill plug slowly to relieve any

pressure in reservoir.

Loosen the hoses or fittings slowly to bleed off any

residual pressure.

4. Carefully note hose routings and the location of

any protective hose wraps, for proper reassembly.

5. To remove a hose, loosen and unscrew the hose

flare nut from the fitting.

To remove a fitting, loosen the jam nut and

unscrew the fitting from the port.

WARNING

Lower the blade when the vehicle is parked.

Keep 8' clear of the blade. Temperature

changes could change hydraulic pressure,

causing the blade to drop unexpectedly or

damaging hydraulic components. Failure to

do this can result in serious personal injury.

Procedure for Installing Fittings

and Hoses

NOTE: Overtightening the JIC hose fitting ends

will result in a fractured fitting.

DO NOT

use thread sealant/tape on hydraulic hoses

or fittings. These materials could damage the product.

Always use two wrenches to ensure proper tightening

of fittings and hoses.

Use the following procedure to install SAE O‑ring

fittings in the valve block and rams:

Turn the jam nut on the fitting as far back as

possible.

Lubricate the O-ring with clean hydraulic fluid.

Screw the fitting into the port by hand until the

washer contacts the port face and the shoulder of

the jam nut threads.

Unscrew the fitting to its proper position; no more

than one full turn.

Using two wrenches, hold the fitting body in

position and tighten the jam nut until the washer

again contacts port face, then tighten an additional

1/8 to 1/4 turn to lock the fitting in place. Final

torque on the jam nut should be approximately

20 ft-lb.

Use the following procedure to install hydraulic

hoses:

Screw the flare nut onto the fitting flare and hand

tighten it.

2. Align the hose so that there are no twists or sharp

bends and so that it will not be pinched or pulled

by moving parts.

3. Using a pair of adjustable pliers, hold the hose in

position, and use a wrench to tighten the flare nut

1/8 to 1/4 turn beyond hand tight. Final torque on

the flare nut should be approximately 20 ft-lb.

4. Reinstall any protective hose wraps in their

original positions.
