Install Hydraulic Hoses
IMPORTANT:
For more efficient use of tractor hydraulics, an orifice has been installed in the fitting for head-end of lift cylinder (GREEN cap). The lift circuit orifice slows the lowering and improves control of lift arms.
To prevent premature failure of hoses, be sure there are no twists or bends in hoses, follow correct procedure for installation.
Check that all O-rings are in position. Lubricate with hydraulic oil or petroleum jelly.
1.
Install nylon protector sleeve (flared end first) over four hoses.
NOTE:
To assure proper torque on fittings, install and tighten hoses to fittings closest to mast first.
2.
Connect hoses to fittings. Tighten to specifications.

3.
Install colored dust cap on coupler end to match function as follows:
-
A-Silver (Head-End Bucket Cylinder)
-
B-Yellow (Rod-End Bucket Cylinder)
-
C-Green (Head-End Lift Cylinder)
-
D-Black (Rod-End Lift Cylinder)
NOTE:
Doubling of sleeve is done by attaching sleeve to hoses with tie band approximately 50 mm (2 in.) from fittings, then folding the sleeve inside itself.
4.
Double sleeve about 150 mm (6 in.) (E) and cover fittings.
5.
Install tie band (F) by lacing tie band through holes in protective sleeve.
