CAUTION: Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate skin causing serious injury. Avoid hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines.

If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.

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

Any dirt, dust, or other foreign material can damage hydraulic system. Thoroughly clean hydraulic hoses and SCVs before connecting implement to tractor.

IMPORTANT: Steam cleaning or using a high pressure washer in the area around the SCV connections and electronics may damage equipment. Any pressure washer exceeding 6895 kPa (69 bar) (1000 psi) should be kept a minimum of 200 mm (8 in.) away from connections.

NOTE: Hose identification kits are available from your John Deere™ dealer.

  1. Identify extend hose (B) and retract hose (C).

  2. Back tractor into position and attach implement to drawbar. Be sure that hitch pin is locked into position.

    CAUTION: Prevent possible personal injury. Shut off engine, move SCV lever to neutral position and lock out SCV controls before attaching implements to prevent implement movement.

    IMPORTANT: Always shut engine off before connecting/disconnecting implement position sensor. Connect/disconnect with engine running will cause system faults. Shut engine off restart to restore correct function.

    IMPORTANT: Be sure to correctly connect remote hydraulic hoses to couplers. If hose connections are reversed, machine will not respond to system controls as expected.
