6.2 Connecting Mower and Skid Steer Hydraulics Lines
1.Before connecting the mower hydraulic lines to the skid steer auxiliary hydraulic ports, be sure that the hydraulic output capacity of the skid steer matches the rated capacity of the mower and that the hydraulic lines and quick couplers are of the same size and type.
2.With the skid steer completely shut down and secured in position and the mower resting at ground level, relieve auxiliary hydraulic pressure by moving the control levers back and forth several times.
3.When connecting the skid steer hydraulic lines to the mower, keep hoses, quick couplers, and swivels free of contamination. Clean dirt and other debris from the connections with a clean rag to prevent contamination of the hydraulic oil.
4.The mower will only operate with oil fed through the mower in one direction. If the mower does not operate when the auxiliary hydraulics are engaged, oil is probably being fed through the motor in the reverse direction. To correct this problem, reverse the hydraulic line connection between the mower and skid steer and engage the hydraulics again or try engaging the auxiliary hydraulic lever in the opposite direction.
5.Once hydraulic lines are properly connected for operation, secure cordura sleeving over
couplers to retain possible leaks.
NOTE: If hydraulic lines are removed from the pump or if couplers are removed from hose ends, ensure lines and couplers are replaced in the same configuration as removed to ensure correct oil flow direction is maintained.
