Bush Hog 300 manual Hydraulic System, Hydraulic Control Valve Accessory Equipment

ASSEMBLY

Hydraulic System

The Hydraulic Cylinders are designed to be used in conjunction with your tractor's Hydraulic System. The Cylinders and Hose are designed for maximum system pressure of 2500 PSI.

Keep Cylinders and Hoses free from internal contamination. Never leave a disconnected Hose end open. Use a Sealant when attaching Hydraulic Hose to Cylinder. Do not over tighten fittings as this will break out the Cylinder Port Housings. Do not operate with hydraulic oil leaking. Oil is expensive and its presence could cause slips and falls and other hazards. DO NOT CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH YOUR HAND. USE CARDBOARD INSTEAD. High-pressure oil can penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage or even GANGRENE. If oil does penetrate the skin, have it REMOVED IMMEDIATELY by a surgeon skilled in this procedure.

Hydraulic Control Valve (Accessory Equipment)

A three-spool, four way Hydraulic Control Valve, Open Center or Closed Center, is available as Accessory Equipment. This allows you to operate four Hydraulic Cylinders from two remote outlets. Connect the three- spool Valve to one outlet to operate three Cylinders. Use the other remote outlet to operate the fourth Cylinder.

If Closed Center Valve is used, Do Not Use the Adjustable Relief Assembly. Use the No- Relief Assembly.
