6.3 Connecting Implement 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.
When connecting the hydraulic lines, keep 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 or implement hydraulic hose
ends become contaminated, wipe clean with a rag
before connecting.
Hydraulic Line Support
After connecting the hydraulic lines to the tractor, adjust the hoses in the hose organizers to allow sufficient
slack for turning. Ensure that hoses do not contact the driveline, do not bind while turning, and do not become
pinched or kinked.
Hydraulic Cylinder Priming
Hydraulic Cylinders must be filled with hydraulic oil before removing the wing transport pins to lower the cutter
wings. Hydraulic cylinders and lines are filled by holding the valve control levers in the raised position until the
cylinders are fully extended. Place control levers in the float position and repeat process a second time.
Ensure wings are entirely supported by the cylinder before removing the transport pins. NEVER drive out pins
or remove pins that have tension on them.
