8. Figure 18: Install the hose support
(item 1) on the three point upper hitch
bracket (item 2) right or left (right one is
recommended) using two 3/8’’NC x 1
1/2’’ bolts (item 3) and two 3/8"NC nylon
insert locknuts (item 4).
9. Figure 18: With thread sealant, install a
90° 3/8” NPT male x 1/4” NPT swivel
female elbow (item 5) in each cylinder
port (item 6). Direct elbows upward by
placing the lower one so that the hose
does not interfere with the upper hose.
10. Figure 19: With thread sealant, install a
1/4" NPT female x 1/2" NPT male
reducer (item 2), a male quick coupler
(item 3) and a dust cap (item 4) on each
hose straight end (item 1).
11. Figure 20: Connect the two hoses
(item 1) to the cylinder elbows (item 2).
NOTE: The figure 6 is a suggested
presentation for hose routing. In that
way, it prevents the hoses from getting
clamped in the chute gear. However,
other ways are also possible. In any
way, make sure there is enough play in
the hoses for the chute to rotate freely
from left to right without forcing on
hoses.
12. Figure 20: Run hoses on the
snowblower with suitable bend, staying
away from sharp edges, nor
compromise the snowblower
maintenance. Attach to the hose
support (item 3) with a hose clamp
(item 4), a 3/8’’NC x 1 1/2’’ bolt (item 5)
and a 3/8"NC nylon insert locknut
(item 6).
13. Connect hoses to tractor and make sure
to raise and lower the snowblower in
extreme positions, and check if hoses
are long enough to not interfere with any
parts. Attach hoses with nylon tie wrap
to appropriate places. Move the
deflector from top to bottom to verify
operation.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury. Escaping
hydraulic/ diesel fluid under pressure can penetrate
the skin causing serious injury.
• Do not use your hands to
check for leaks. Use a piece of
cardboard or paper to search
for leaks.
• Stop engine and relieve pressure before
connecting or disconnecting lines.
• Tighten all connections before starting engine
or pressurizing lines.
• If any fluid is injected into the skin, obtain
medical attention immediately or gangrene may
result.
