OPERATION

6.2 Connecting Mower Hydraulics

1. With the tractor shut down and secured in

position, move the hydraulic remote valve

lever back and forth several times or place

the hydraulic lever in the float position to

relieve all hydraulic pressure. When

connecting the mower hydraulic lines to the

tractor, keep the hose, quick couplers, and

swivels free of dirt and other contaminants.

Wipe all dirt and other contaminants from the

tractor hydraulic remote ports and mower

hydraulic hose coupler with a clean rag

before connecting.

2. Connect mower hydraulic hose to the tractor

remote port. Ensure the coupler locks in

place making a good connection. Different

tractor models receive hydraulic lines dif-

ferently. Refer to the tractor Operator’s Man-

ual for connecting and operating hydraulics

for your particular model tractor.

Some tractor models allow the remote

hydraulic valve to be configured for single

acting cylinders. Refer to tractor operators

manual and follow the appropriate instruc-

tions for single acting cylinder operation.

3. Ensure hydraulic hoses will not contact or

become entangled with mower drivelines, do

not bind when turning, or become pinched or

kinked when operating, raising, and lowering

the mower.

Hydraulic Cylinder Priming

Hydraulic Cylinders must be filled with hydraulic oil before releasing the wing transport locks to lower the

mower. Hydraulic cylinders and lines are filled by holding the valve control levers in the raised position until the

cylinders fully extend then place the control lever in the float position. Repeat the process several more times

to ensure wings are entirely supported by the hydraulic cylinders before releasing the transport locks and

lowering the mower.
