WARNING!
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate
the skin. Check all hydraulic lines and hoses before applying pres-
sure. 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 famil-
iar with this kind of injury. Foreign fluids in the tissue must be surgi-
cally removed within a few hours or gangrene will result.
Great Plains hydraulic hoses are colour coded to help you
hook-up hoses to your tractor outlets. Hoses that go to the
same remote valve are marked with the same colour.
To distinguish hoses on the same hydraulic circuit, refer to
plastic hose holder. See Figure 1-8. Connect hose under
extended cylinder to outlet you choose for cylinder extension.
Connect hose under retracted symbol to outlet for cylinder
retraction.
