Attach to Tractor Hydraulic System

X9811-UN-23AUG88

Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other 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 can result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury must 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.

1. The tractor must have one set of the selective control valve (SCV) receptacles. If the baler is equipped with a hydraulic pickup lift or the MegaWide™ HC2 feed system, the tractor must have two sets of SCV receptacles.

   To help identify and properly connect hoses, Hose Identification Kits are available from your John Deere dealer.

   Tractor remote cylinder receptacles are labeled I through IV. Receptacles are identified from top to bottom.

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