3.11. HYDRAULIC HOSE ATTACHMENT
The elbow fittings are factory installed. Use thread sealant (not supplied) on
fitting and hose threads.
1. With elbow fitting on left side lift cylinder facing back as shown, secure the
tee fitting to the elbow fitting (Figure 3.18).
2. Securely attach the swivel connector end of the short hydraulic hose to tee
fitting on left side cylinder as shown in Figure 3.18. Make certain that this
short hose is beneath lift cable on left side lift cylinder as shown (Figure
3.21).
3. Securely attach the long hydraulic hose to tee fitting as shown in Figure 3.18.
Place this hose into brackets welded to side of auger tube. Bend tops of
these brackets over slightly to retain hose.
Important: Protect hose ends from dirt.
4. Recheck bolts for proper tightness on undercarriage, lift cylinders, and cable
clamps. If secured as per instructions, remove auger tube support.
CAUTION
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 lift cable on left side lift
cylinder (Figure 3.20).
With lift cable beneath this hose, cable will
wear on hose as auger is raised and lowered
causing hose to wear through. This would
allow auger to drop suddenly, causing serious
injury or death.
