(6.2) Connecting Snow Blower Hydraulic Lines To The Tractor; Pre-Operation Inspection And Service - Alamo Great White 8650-A Operator's Manual

6.1 Connecting Snow Blower Hydraulic Lines to the Tractor
With the tractor shut down and secured in position, relieve hydraulic pressure from the tractor by moving the
control levers back and forth several times or placing the levers in the float position. Keep implement hydraulic
lines, hoses, quick couplers, and swivels free of contamination. Never leave a disconnected hose end open and
cap the tractor hydraulic outlet ports when not in use. If the tractor ports, Snow Blower ports and hydraulic hose
ends become contaminated, wipe clean with a rag before connecting.
DANGER! Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil leaking. Oil is
expensive and its presence could present a hazard. Do not check for
leaks with your hand! Use a piece of heavy paper or cardboard. High-
pressure oil streams from breaks in the line could penetrate the skin
and cause tissue damage including gangrene. If oil does penetrate the
skin, have the injury treated immediately by a physician knowledge-
able and skilled in this procedure.
Hydraulic Cylinder Priming
Hydraulic Cylinder must be filled with hydraulic oil before operating. Hydraulic cylinders and lines are filled by
holding the valve control levers in the extended position until the cylinder fully retracts and extends. Place control
levers in the float position and repeat process several more times to purge all air from the system.

7. PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SERVICE

Before each use, a pre-operation inspection and service of the snow blower and tractor must be performed. This
includes routine maintenance and scheduled lubrication, inspecting that all safety devices are equipped and
functional, and performing needed repairs. Do not operate the snow blower and tractor if the pre-operation inspection
reveals any condition affecting safe operation. Perform repairs and replacement of damaged and missing parts as
soon as noticed. By performing a thorough pre-operation inspection and service, valuable down time and repair
cost can be avoided.
DANGER! Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted component
unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up to prevent
sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury or even
death.
DANGER! Always disconnect the main PTO Driveline from the Tractor before
performing service on the implement. Never work on the implement with
the tractor PTO driveline connected and running. Teeth or Drivelines could
turn without warning and cause immediate entanglement, injury or death.

WARNING!
Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when neces-
sary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners, worn or
broken parts, and leaking or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have cotter
pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining this
Implement in good working order.
