Preventing Hydraulic System Contamination

IMPORTANT: Cleanliness is very important when working on hydraulic system. Prevent contamination by assembling cylinders, hoses, couplers, and valves in a clean shop area.

Leave protective caps on fluid openings until ready to make connection. When charging system, use a tractor or other source that contains clean oil, free of abrasive materials. Keep couplers clean. Abrasive particles, like sand or metal fragments, can damage seals, barrels, and pistons, causing internal leakage.

NOTE: To keep couplers clean, always place in storage position (A) when not attached to tractor.
