WARNING
Pressurized hydraulic fluid can penetrate body tissue and result in
death, serious infection, or other injuries. Fluid injected under skin
must be IMMEDIATELY removed by a surgeon familiar with this
type of injury. Make sure connections are tight and hoses and
fittings are not damaged before applying system pressure. Leaks
can be invisible. Keep away from suspected leaks. Relieve pressure
before connecting or disconnecting tractor, searching for leaks, or
performing any system maintenance.
NOTICE
Wipe hose ends to remove any dirt before connecting couplers to
tractor ports or contamination may cause equipment failure.
NOTICE
Connect hydraulic motor case drain to a case drain return line with
zero PSI on tractor. Failure to connect to a return with zero PSI will
cause hydraulic motor shaft seal damage. DO NOT connect hydraulic
motor case drain to a SCV outlet or motor return circuit connection.
Contact tractor manufacturer for specific details on “zero pressure
return”.
NOTICE
Always connect hydraulic motor return hose to tractor motor return
port. Do not connect to tractor SCV unless through a motor spool
or hydraulic motor failure can occur. If a motor return port is not
available on the tractor, the SCV controlling the bulk fill system
MUST be in the float position before planter is moved in planting or
field raised position when bulk fill system is not in use.
5. Connect hydraulic hoses to tractor ports in a sequence familiar and comfortable to the operator. Refer to chart on
the following page.
