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.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Shut down tractor before making hydraulic connections.
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,
seek immediate medical assistance from a physician familiar
with this type of injury.
Refer to Figure 8
To distinguish hoses on the same hydraulic circuit, refer
to handle symbols.
• The hose with an extended-cylinder symbol feeds a
cylinder base end.
• The hose with a retracted-cylinder symbol feeds a cyl-
inder rod end.
Secure hoses and cables so that they have sufficient
slack for hitch movements, but cannot get caught
between moving parts of tractor, implement or hitch. Fail-
ure to safely route and secure hoses and cables could
result in damage requiring component repair/replace-
ment, and lost field time.
Clean all hydraulic couplings and hook hoses to tractor.
