Hydraulic Hose Hookup
Only trained personnel should work on system hydraulics!
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by
relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a
piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for
leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs,
see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must
be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene will
result.
Refer to Figure 23
To distinguish hoses on the same hydraulic circuit, refer
to plastic hose label. The hose under an extended-cylin-
der symbol feeds a cylinder base end. The hose under a
retracted-cylinder symbol feeds a cylinder rod end.
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.

Note: If the tractor has only two remote valves, you must
