Connecting the Hydraulic Hoses
If the attachment requires hydraulics for operation,
connect the hydraulic hoses as follows:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever forward,
backward, and back to neutral to relieve pressure
at the hydraulic couplers.
3. Push the auxiliary hydraulics lever forward into
the detent position.
4. Remove the protective covers from the hydraulic
couplers on the traction unit.
5. Ensure that all foreign matter is cleaned from the
hydraulic connectors.
6. Push the attachment male connector into the
female connector on the traction unit.
Note: When you connect the attachment male
connector first, you will relieve any
pressure build up in the attachment.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure
can penetrate skin and cause injury.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Fluid accidentally injected into the skin
must be surgically removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this form of
injury or gangrene may result.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Keep body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks, never use your hands.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines/valves,
and hydraulic fluid may be hot.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Contact with hot hydraulic components or
fluid may cause burns.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Wear gloves when operating the hydraulic
couplers.
• Allow the traction unit to cool before
touching hydraulic components.
• Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
7. Push the attachment female connector into the
male connector on the traction unit.
8. Confirm that the connection is secure by pulling
on the hoses.
9. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever to neutral.
