Hydraulics
Refer to Section 1 regarding hydraulic safety.
• Inspect hydraulic system for leaks, damaged hoses
and loose fittings.
• Damaged Hoses and hydraulic tubing can only be
repaired by replacement. DO NOT ATTEMPT
REPAIRS WITH TAPE OR CEMENTS. High
pressure will burst such repairs and cause system
failure and possible injury.
• Leaking cylinders - install a new seal kit.
• Fittings - use Teflon seal tape on all NPT hydraulic
joints. Do not use Teflon tape on JIC ends.
• Hydraulic Hose Connections - when connecting the
hoses to the cylinders, tubing, etc. always use one
wrench to keep the hose from twisting and another
wrench to tighten the union. Excessive twisting will
shorten hose life.
• Keep fittings and couplers clean.
• Check the Tractor Manual for proper filter
replacement schedule.
Refer to the Trouble Shooting Section.
Contact your nearest Dealer for genuine repair parts.
Dealers carry ample stocks and are backed by the
manufacture and regional associations.
Dirt in the hydraulic system could damage
O-rings, causing leakage, pressure loss and
total system failure.
WARNING
HIGH-PRESSURE FLUID HAZARD
To prevent serious injury or death:
• Relieve pressure on hydraulic system before
servicing or disconnecting hoses.
• Wear proper hand and eye protection when
searching for leaks. Use wood or cardboard instead
of hands.
• Keep all components in good repair.
