Older Style Hoses with Color Ties
Refer to Figure 9
Great Plains hydraulic hoses are color coded to help you
hookup hoses to your tractor outlets. Hoses that go to
the same remote valve are marked with the same color
tie.
To distinguish hoses on the same hydraulic circuit, refer
to plastic hose label. The hose under an
extended-cylinder symbol feeds a cylinder base end. The
hose under a retracted-cylinder symbol feeds a cylinder
rod end.
For hydraulic fan and drive motors, connect the hose
under the retracted cylinder symbol to the pressure side
of the motor. Connect the hose under the extended
cylinder symbol to the return side of the motor.
