Hydraulic Hose Hookup
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.
Refer to Figure 5
Hose Handles
To distinguish hoses on the same hydraulic circuit, refer
to, Hydraulic Hose Hookup above. The hose under an
extended symbol feeds a cylinder base end. The hose
under a retracted-cylinder symbol feeds a cylinder rod
end.
Clean all hydraulic couplings and hook hoses to tractor.
First Time Field Adjustments
Pre-Leveling of Machine
Front to Rear Leveling
Refer to Figure 6
Front to rear leveling should be done in the field with

High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use
paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for leaks.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems. Escaping fluid under pressure
can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin causing seri-
ous injury. If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical
assistance from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
Only trained personnel should work on system hydraulics.
