HOSE CONNECTIONS (DIRECT)
(Asm-B-0032)
This hydraulic connection methods requires a break-away valve for the swing cylinder. This valve will be
mounted to the top of a valve mount plate on the Main frame (7) with 2 - 1/4" x 2 3/4" bolts (1) and fasten with
1/4" locknuts (2).Hoses from the tractor ports are then connected to the straight adapters (3). Hoses from the
swing cylinder are connected to the 90 degree elbows (4). The "A" port of the breakaway valve must be
connected to the butt end of the swing cylinder for proper operation of the breakaway feature! A relief hose is
then connected to the other 90 degree elbow (5) which is connected to a straight adapter (6). The other end of
this hose is connected to a filler tube on the tractor hydraulic tank by a special adapter (See Note).The
remaining hoses p/n 02839000 are connected to the bulkhead fittings on the bulkhead plate (7) according to
the decal (Asm-B-0032_A) mounted on the plate. Connect each hose from the tractor to its corresponding
fitting.
NOTE: When connecting the hose from the breakaway valve to the tractor hydraulic filler tube. There are two
types of adapters, depending on the size of the filler tube. A small tube will require a small adapter P/N
00765736. And a large filler tube will use P/N 00765735. To install adapter, insert it into the filler tube, and tap
it lightly until it stops. Screw the elbow into the adapter, and connect the hose from the breakaway valve.
Alternately, for a more reliable connection, this hose can be connected to a "zero back pressure" return port on
the tractor. Consult your tractor's owners manual and/or tractor dealer for information regarding this type of
connection.
