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.

NOTE: Never rotate Blade Tilt, Carrier Pivot, or Mainframe Pivot with hydraulics while Blade is under load. This will cause excessive load on pins and shafts which will result in damage to Blade. Remove load from Blade and then rotate.

Selector Valve (Accessory Equipment)

If the Mainframe Swing, Moldboard Pivot and Tilt are fully hydraulic, as an added feature, all three Cylinders can be operated from two remote outlets. Below is a schematic diagram showing proper routing of two Cylinders through the Selector Valve. When installing this Valve, observe all safety precautions as hydraulic lines are under high pressure (2500 PSI). If additional information is required concerning your hydraulic system, contact your Bush Hog dealer. (Figure Asm-0008).
