WARNING!
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to pen-
etrate the skin. Check all hydraulic lines and hoses before ap-
plying pressure. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be
almost invisible. Use paper or cardboard, not body parts, to
check for suspected leaks. If injured, seek medical assistance
from a doctor that is familiar with this kind of injury. Foreign
fluids in the tissue must be surgically removed within a few
hours or gangrene will result.
Great Plains hydraulic hoses are color coded to help you
hook-up hoses to your tractor outlets. Hoses that go to
the same remote valve are marked with the same color.
Refer to Figure 3
To distinguish hoses on the same hydraulic circuit, refer
to plastic hose holder. Connect hose under extended cyl-
inder to outlet you choose for cylinder extension.
Connect hose under retracted symbol to outlet for cylin-
der retraction.
Connect hydraulic hoses from tongue cylinder to one
tractor remote valve. Connect hoses from transport-lift
cylinders to another tractor remote valve.
