Attaching Implement and Control System

causym CAUTION: Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines.

If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to correctly connect remote hydraulic hoses to couplers. If hose connections are reversed, machine will not respond to system controls. Extend hose always goes in coupler left-hand port . Retract hose always goes in coupler right-hand port .

  • Extend = Left Side

  • Retract = Right Side

NOTE: Hose identification kits are available from your John Deere Dealer.

1. Identify control hoses (A).

2. Back tractor into position and attach hitch link to drawbar. Be sure hitch pin is locked into position.

IMPORTANT: Always shut engine off before connecting/disconnecting implement position sensor. Connect/disconnect with engine running will cause system faults. Shut engine off then restart to restore correct function.

3. Stop tractor engine.
