8. Auxiliary Hydraulic Port
Various attachments can receive hydraulic power from the tractor’s
hydraulic system through the auxiliary hydraulic port.
The hydraulic circuit operates automatically when the hydraulic pressure
hose is connected to the port.
l The precision components of the hydraulic system can be damaged by
dirt and foreign material.
l Be sure to stop the engine when connecting the hydraulic coupler to the
auxiliary hydraulic port.
l Be sure the connections and the area around the auxiliary hydraulic port
is clean before connecting or disconnecting any attachment.
l Keep the provided connector covers installed when there is no attach-
ment connected.
The hydraulic system uses the same fluid as the transmission: DEXRON@
II Automatic Transmission Fluid.
The use of any other type of fluid will cause damage to the hydraulic
system or transmission.
1 NOTICE ] A,, y attachment connected to the auxiliary hydraulic port must
have only DEXRON @ II fluid in its system. If the attachment uses any
other type of fluid, the fluid will mix with the DEXRON@ II in the tractor’s
system. This will cause damage to the tractor’s hydraulic system and
transmission.
