5.2Connecting Mower Head Hydraulics
Attach the hoses(4), from the articulating arm to the hydraulic motor ports (5) on the head. Use recommended hose end torque values in chart below. (Refer to Figures
Use extreme caution when connecting the mower to the tractor. The mower should be securely resting at ground level or on blocks. Place a block in front of and behind the tires to prevent the mower from moving. Keep hands and feet out from under the mower and clear of pinch points between the tractor and mower.
Avoid contact with hot surfaces including hydraulic oil tanks, pumps, motors, valves and hose connections. Relieve hydraulic pressure before performing maintenance or repairs. Use gloves and eye protection when servicing hot components. Contact with a hot surface or fluid can cause serious injury from burns or scalding.
