Incomplete engagement of
hydraulic quick couplers.

Inspect quick couplers to ensure complete en-
gagement.

Lock valves for shanks are
set in closed position.

Ensure that both lock valves, one at the manifold
and one at the tractor quick coupler, are set to
the open position.

No electrical power to
shank solenoid valve.

Check for broken wire in harness to solenoid
coil.

No electrical power to

Disconnect coupler at Circuit #1. If pressure is
now adjustable, repair the tractor selector valve
(make sure the lever is in working position not
float).

Solenoid coil
