   A - Case Drain Hose

   B - Low-Pressure Drain Coupler

   Blower motor case drain hose must be attached to low-pressure drain connection before inlet and return hoses are connected. Case drain must have LESS THAN 172 kPa (1.72 bar) (25 psi) or blower motor damage occurs.

   IMPORTANT: Install a Low-Pressure Drain Line Kit when towing tractor is not equipped.

   IMPORTANT: Do not use other ports at the rear of the tractor which are similar in appearance and size to low-pressure drain port. Due to high backpressure (over 172 kPa (1.72 bar) (25 psi)), drain connection to these ports result in blower motor damage.

   Attach case drain hose (A) to tractor low-pressure drain coupler (B).

3. IMPORTANT: Check tractor hydraulic oil level after filling cylinders with oil for the first time.

   IMPORTANT: It is important to rephase hydraulic lift system before operating any other functions.

   NOTE: When machine is equipped with drawbar hitch and automatic markers, markers and hitch use the same hoses.
