2.Add 35 gallons of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic reservoir. Use any high quality mineral based hydraulic fluid such as Mobil fluid 424 with a viscosity rating of 10W-30. Use care to ensure that dust or other foreign particles do not contaminate the fluid or reservoir. Check the fluid level by inserting the dipstick and cap all the way into the filler tube.

Electrical Hookup

NOTE: If the tractor has dual 6 volt batteries, see the tractors owners manual for proper 12 volt hook-up.

IMPORTANT: All dual 6 volt batteries are not hooked up correctly cylinders may not function properly due to solenoid valves not being fully charged. Arm and deck functions will be slow.

See Figure 2-8: Find a suitable location for the Switch Control Box. Based on our experience, the location should be close to the right hand side of the operator - most generally on the tractor fender or fender console. Exact location should be convenient to the specific operator. Orient the Control Box such that the switches are relative to the movement of the deck and parallel arms. I.e., when the switch is toggled, the arms or deck should move in the same relative direction as the handle of the switch.

Electric Switch Control Box

Figure 2-8

Mount the Switch Control Box using either sheet metal screws (for plastic type consoles) or machine screws, nuts and washer. Route the control cable to the Solenoid Control Box and connect the circular plastic connector to the mating connector on the box.

See Figure 2-4 on page 13. Route the power cable to the tractor battery or circuit breaker panel. A 10 Amp or larger fuse/circuit breaker source should be used. Connect the red lead to the positive power source. Connect the black lead to the negative source.

IMPORTANT: Connect leads to 12VDC power source only. Connection to 24VDC or larger will damage electrohydraulic components.

Ensure that the 10 Amp circuit breaker located on the switch control box is pushed in prior to functional check.

IMPORTANT: This section only applies to Units with Solenoid Control Valve Option.

Determine if tractor is “OPEN” or “CLOSED” Center Hydraulic System. If unsure consult your tractors owners manual and/or contact your tractor dealer.
