CONTROL VALVE & HOSE KIT INSTALLATION
Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate
skin and will cause serious injury or death.
Make sure that all operating and service per-
sonnel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin,
it must be surgically removed as soon as possible
by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic
operation and allow loads or equipment compo-
nents to drop unexpectedly. When connecting
equipment or hoses or performing any hydraulic
maintenance, purge any air in hydraulic system by
operating all hydraulic functions several times. Do
this before operating or allowing anyone to
approach the equipment.
Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and
valves are in good condition and not leaking before
starting power unit or using equipment. Check and
route hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hoses
must not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed,
pinched, or come into contact with any moving
parts. Operate moveable components through full
operational range to check clearances. Replace
any damaged hoses immediately.
Protective hose sleeves must cover all hydrau-
lic hoses and be secured onto metal hose fittings.
Replace hoses or sleeves if damaged or if protec-
tive sleeve cannot be properly positioned or
secured.
IMPORTANT
Hydraulic valves must be connected to the
tractor hydraulic system as shown in this loader
mounting kit manual.
If hydraulic lines are not connected as shown
in the mounting kit manual, the loader control valve
may be damaged. A blocked outlet (Return) or
improper hose connection will cause pressurized
oil to enter the return circuit and damage the valve.
