Connecting Mower-Conditioner to Tractor Hydraulic System
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. IMPORTANT: All hydraulic couplers must be clear of debris, dust and sand. Use protective caps on fluid openings until ready to make connection. Foreign material can damage the hydraulic system. NOTE: ISO hydraulic couplers are standard with the mower-conditioner. If they do not fit the tractor, see your John Deere dealer for correct coupler. Specification
