5.3 Connecting Mower Hydraulic Lines to the Tractor

With the tractor shut down and secured in position, relieve hydraulic pressure from the tractor by moving the control levers back and forth several times or placing the levers in the float position. Keep mower hydraulic lines, hoses, quick couplers, and swivels free of contamination. Never leave a disconnected hose end open and cap the tractor hydraulic outlet ports when not in use. If the tractor ports,Flex-Arm ports, or mower hydraulic hose ends become contaminated, wipe clean with a rag before connecting.

DANGER! Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil leaking. Oil is expensive and its presence could present a hazard. Do not check for leaks with your hand! Use a piece of heavy paper or cardboard. High- pressure oil streams from breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage including gangrene. If oil does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a physician knowledge- able and skilled in this procedure.
