ASSEMBLY
ATTACHMENT OF HYDRAULIC HOSES
Once pumps are installed, DO NOT start the tractor (which will turn the pumps) unless
thehydraulic circuits are completed and filled with the specified universal tractor hydraulic oil.
Running pumps without oil will cause non-warrantable damage.
It is important that pipe thread sealant be used only on pipe threads; never on connections or on straight thread
"O" ring fittings. Use the pipe thread sealant supplied. Do not substitute with some other type of sealant, such
as, teflon tape, paint, shellac, etc.
It is extremely important to avoid getting pipe thread sealant inside the fittings or hoses. KEEP THE INTERIOR
OF ALL HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS CLEAN. Inspect the inside diameter of each hose before assembly.
Make certain that no obstruction is present. Dirt, sand, dust, etc., are abrasive and once it the system can
cause immediate or early failure.
When assembling the fittings and hoses, be careful not to introduce any dust or contaminants into the system.
Keep all fittings, hoses, and hydraulic components sealed until installed. Do not allow any components to lie
open and exposed to dust or contamination. Do not lay parts down on the dirt or sand and then assemble them
as this will introduce contaminants into the system.
To avoid Hydraulic Contamination, always keep all hoses and hydraulic fittings capped until
they are ready to be installed. FIGURE Asm-B-0006.
