Check Hydraulic System

Check hydraulic system for leaks, missing/loose clamps, or damage.

Clean area around connections and cylinders.

Hydraulic hoses must be inspected frequently for leakage, kinking, cuts, cracks, abrasion, corrosion, exposed wire braid, or any other signs of wear or damage. Worn or damaged hose assemblies can fail during use and must be replaced immediately. See your John Deere dealer for replacement hoses.

CAUTION: If incorrectly rated hose is used, machine damage, injury, or death could occur.

If hoses must be fabricated, ensure that hoses are the same rating as one being replaced. See your John Deere dealer for correct hose rating replacements.

Incorrect hose length or routing increases chance of hose wear or damage. Use old hose as guide for length and hose routing.

Incorrect fittings can damage mating parts or cause leaks make sure to use steel fittings approved for use with hose manufacture. Use correct size and thread type as replaced hose.
