Connecting Hydraulic Hoses

The female quick connectors (B, Figure 8) require a 1/4” male nose piece fitting (part number 173359).

Connect the hoses from the attachment hydraulic cylin- ders (A, Figure 8) to the quick connectors (B) located under the left foot rest. Refer to the flow diagrams in Figure 6 to determine the correct quick connector to con- nect to. Be sure to install the quick connector covers (see Figure 9) after disconnecting hydraulic hoses.

Test Run Attachment & Check Oil

1.Start the engine.

2.Test all controls for proper function.

3.Check all fittings, connections, and hoses for leaks.

4.Run the tractor for at least 10 minutes. Actuate the attachment hydraulic cylinders 10 times to bleed air out of the hydraulic system.

5.Check the oil level. Observe the oil level in the plas- tic tube (A, Figure 10) at the rear of the unit.

There should be 1” to 1-1/2” of oil in the tube. If there is no oil in the tube add Type-F automatic transmis- sion oil a few ounces at a time. The transmission fill tube is located under the seat (see Figure 11).
