A - Hydraulic Brakes—Red Ring

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before connecting or disconnecting hydraulic lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from high-pressure fluids.

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. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical source. Such information is available from Deere & Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, U.S.A.

Hydraulic hoses can fail due to physical damage, kinks, age, and exposure. Check hoses regularly. Replace damaged hoses.

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.

Always refer to the tractor Operator’s Manual to operate the selective control valves and their relevant SCV levers.

ISO hydraulic couplers are standard with baler. If they do not fit tractor, see your John Deere dealer.

On Baler With Hydraulic Brake Option:

All hydraulic hoses with connection to tractor are marked with colored rings. Meaning of colors is indicated on decal, placed at the support of drawbar.

Insert brake hose (A) with RED ring into trailer brake valve of tractor.

A - Command Line With Yellow Coupling

B - Air Supply Line With Red Coupling

C - Release Valve Control Knob

On Baler With Pneumatic Brake Option:

Before connecting hoses of pneumatic brake system, verify that couplings are clean. Immediately following disconnection of hoses, dust caps must be mounted onto couplings. Tractor must be fitted with a 2-line air pressure system. When attaching air pressure hoses, do not use the black connection option.

When traveling on public roads, release valve control knob (C) must always be in down position.

  • When connecting air pressure hoses to tractor, first attach command line with yellow coupling (A) and next supply line with red coupling (B). See Tractor Operator’s Manual.
  • When disconnecting air pressure hoses from tractor, first detach supply line (red coupling) and then command line (yellow coupling).
  • When machine is detached, it can be braked by pulling down release valve control knob (C). Pushing control knob upward vents brake system, enabling movement of machine. On a detached machine, this procedure can be repeated up to eight times before pressure in compressed air storage tank becomes too low to operate brake system.
