IMPORTANT: Fan 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 fan 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 fan motor damage.

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