WARNING
BEFORE USING HYDRAULIC LEVERS,
MAKE SURE THE ATTACHMENT IS
COMPLETELY HOOKED UP. MOVE
ATTACHMENT THROUGH THE COMPLETE
LIFT RANGE SLOWLY TO MAKE SURE
THERE IS NO INTERFERENCE. MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS IF NECESSARY.
Auxiliary Hydraulic Connections
(Model13076 Only)
Connections for auxiliary hydraulics (see
Fig. 6-2) are on the front, right-side of the
frame.
To use these connections, remove rubber
plugs. Clean all dirt and debris from
around connections. Push coupling (Q)
back. Insert hydraulic hose end.
When auxiliary connections are not in use,
secure the rubber plugs over the
connections to prevent debris from
entering the hydraulic system.
KEEP HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS CLEAN.
Dirty
hydraulic connections can
contaminate the hydraulic fluid and
damage hydraulic components.
A
WARNING
DIRTY HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS CAN
CONTAMINATE THE HYDRAULIC FLUID
AND DAMAGE HYDRAULIC
COMPONENTS. KEEP RUBBER PLUGS IN
PLACE. NEVER USE HANDS TO FEEL
FOR HYDRAULIC LEAKS. HOT
HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAKING AT HIGH
PRESSURE COULD PENETRATE SKIN.
USE ONLY TROY·BILT® APPROVED
ATTACHMENTS. Other attachments could
damage the hydraulic system and void the
warranty.
INSPECT ALL HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS
FOR HIGH PRESSURE LEAKS BEFORE
TESTING OR REPAIRING. Never "feel" for
leaks. Oil leaking at high pressure could
penetrate skin. Operating temperatures of
hydraulic fluids are extremely high.
