The end of the hoses will be sticking up through the turret mount weldment between turret and tractor. The hoses will need to be connected there and routed to the hydraulic control valve. One hose will have a Green Tie and one a green and white tie where the come up throught the turret mount weldment. (See Figure 3).

The hose will be connected to the boom that are routed to the control valve and diverter valve and bundled together. (See Figure 4). The Boom Hoses are protruding out the turret mount end of the boom. The Hose connections on the head end will be shipped with metal caps on them, these are to protect the lines from contamination and should not be re- moved until the hoses are being installed (See Figure 4). The hose that attaches to the boom are sent in- stalled on the head assembly and the hose will also have plugs in them.
3.Boom Lift Cylinder. The boom lift cylinder will be connected to the boom at the rod end of the cylinder (See Figure 2 & 4) when it is shipped from factory. The hoses will also be connected to the cylinder. The retaining pin for the lift cylinder will be located in the turret assembly. The Lift Cylinder will be fastened to boom with tie wire. It will not be required to remove this tie wire before mounting boom on turret assembly. -
4.Booms & Lift Cylinder Mounting Pins. The Boom and lift cylinder mounting pins are shipped in- stalled in the turrert assembly. Remove both pins in preparation to mounting the boom. (See Figure 3)
5.Lower Boom onto Turret Assembly. Using an over head hoist lift the boom by placing a lift strap at the boom hinge point (See Figure 2), the boom assem- bly will be shipped with the two boom end tie wired together (See Figure 3A). The wire tie will need to be removed as it is tied through the boom hinge pin hole. Lift the boom above the turret assembly and lower it back down onto the turret assembly aligning the boom with the mounting pin hole. Install the Mount Pin through the turret and into the boom. Make certain the pin is installed correctly as one side of the pin is self locking in design. Tighten the pin retaining nut and install cotter pin. (See Figure 3C)
