HYDRAULIC SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
1. This unit can be operated on any tractor which has at least two remote outlets.
IMPORTANT: Remote outlets connected to wings cylinders must have a float detent position on the control
lever. If not the tractor must be equipped with an external valve bank which has float detent positions.
2. If tractor has only two outlets, one must be used to control the center axle and the other to control both
wings by placing a tee in the hoses between the cylinders. NOTE: When both wing hydraulic cylinders
are operated by one valve spool, independent control of wings is not possible. When valve is actuated to
raise wings, there is no control over which wing will raise first. If independent control is required, tractor
must be equipped with an external three-spool valve bank.
3. If a three-spool valve bank is required, then assemble it on a mounting bracket and install on the tractor
fender at desired location. (See valve bank plumbing diagram for further details).
