6.4 Connecting the Rock Picker 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, GLADIATOR RWP-1935

and
hydraulic
contaminated, wipe clean with a rag before
connecting.
Connect the hydraulic hoses to the tractor. One
set of hoses feeds the control valve to operate all
hydraulic cylinder circuits (Bucket, Grate, Wing
Lift, Wing Angle). The other set of hoses operates
the Reel hydraulic motor.
The hose with the female coupler connects to the Reel hydraulic motor Case Drain. Always connect the case
drain hose to avoid damaging the motor components.
All 3 hydraulic motors are equipped with a flow control valve for adjusting reel and drum speed. Hydraulic oil
MUST ENTER the flow control valve through the top port for correct operation. Arrange the hydraulic hoses as
necessary.
Allow some slack in the section of hoses between the tractor and hose clamp, otherwise the hose may tighten
while traveling over rough terrain and cause damage to the ports, brackets, hoses or pump.
Check the tractor hydraulic fluid level after filling cylinders as the cylinders will take several
liters out of the tractor's hydraulic system.
.
Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil and
fuel are explosive and their presence could present a hazard. Do not
check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams from breaks in
the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage including
gangrene. To check for a hose leak, SHUT the unit ENGINE OFF and
remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable gloves, safety
glasses and use cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If you
suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer. If oil
does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a
physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure.
Hydraulic Cylinder Priming
Hydraulic Cylinder must be filled with hydraulic oil before operating the windrower in a certain angle. 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.
