3. Secure the solid connector end of the long (32" / 0.81 m) cylinder-connector
hydraulic hose to the upper elbow fitting.
Note: Before attaching short connector hydraulic hose to left side lift cylinder, make
certain lift cables are tightly stretched and that this hose is positioned beneath
the lift cable on the left side lift cylinder (Figure 3.37). If lift cable is not installed
above this hose, it could result in the hose wearing through during operation,
causing a hazardous situation.
4. Position the elbow fittings on the left cylinder. The lower one should face
forward and downward at approximately 45°. The upper one should face
rearward and upward at approximately 10°.
5. Secure the tee fittings to the left cylinder elbow fittings and position them as
shown in Figure 3.37. Make certain they are securely tightened.
6. Secure the swivel ends of the upper (32" / 0.81 m) and lower (17" / 0.43 m)
cylinder-connector hoses to the tees as shown.
7. Check upper 32" (0.81 m) cylinder-connector hose position to ensure there is
8-1/2” (0.22 m) clearance to lift cables as shown in Figure 3.37.
8. Attach the 392" (9.96 m) long pressure hose with shutoff valve to the lower
tee fitting (nearest auger intake).
9. Attach the 473" (12.0 m) long return hose without shutoff valve to the upper
tee fitting (nearest auger discharge end).
10. Thread hoses through back arm attach bracket as shown in Figure 3.37.
WARNING
Wear on hose can cause auger to drop
suddenly, causing serious injury or death.
