IMPORTANT: Damage to blower motor will occur if hoses are connected incorrectly. Check hydraulic connections before operating vacuum motor. See CHECKING HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS in Preparing the Vacuum Meter section. NOTE: Motor adaptor kit (A) can be installed to eliminate surging of motor that sometimes occurs with load sensing tractor hydraulics when one tractor valve is used to control one vacuum motor. See you John Deere dealer. NOTE: For non John Deere tractors, see dealer for vacuum motor hook-up. Advantage series tractors have open center hydraulics with load sensing.
