HYDRAULIC CONNECTION TO TRACTOR
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate the
skin causing serious injury. If skin penetration occurs, seek
medical attention immediately.
a) Ensure the tractor controls are in the park position, the engine is turned off, the
parking brake is engaged and hydraulic pressure to the tractor remote connectors
has been relieved per the tractor operator’s manual instructions.
b) When connecting the hydraulic couplers to the tractor, be sure that both ends are
clean. Dirt in the hydraulic system can block the orifice in the cylinder and cause
premature wear of hydraulic components on the mower and tractor.
c) Ensure the hoses are free to move, between the tractor and mower. During
operation of the mower going up and down the hills, the distance between the
tractor and mower will change.
Tractor control valves must be equipped with float function.
Failure to use float function during mowing may damage the
mower.
