6.2 Connecting Mower and Skid Steer Hydraulics Lines
1. Before connecting the mower hydraulic lines
to the skid steer auxiliary hydraulic ports, be
sure that the hydraulic output capacity of the
skid steer matches the rated capacity of the
mower and that the hydraulic lines and quick
couplers are of the same size and type.
2. With the skid steer completely shut down and
secured in position and the mower resting at
ground level, relieve auxiliary hydraulic
pressure by moving the control levers back
and forth several times.
3. When connecting the skid steer hydraulic
lines to the mower, keep hoses, quick
couplers, and swivels free of contamination.
Clean dirt and other debris from the
connections with a clean rag to prevent
contamination of the hydraulic oil.
4. The mower will only operate with oil fed
through the mower in one direction. If the
mower does not operate when the auxiliary
hydraulics are engaged, oil is probably being
fed through the motor in the reverse direction.
To correct this problem, reverse the hydraulic
line connection between the mower and skid
steer and engage the hydraulics again or try
engaging the auxiliary hydraulic lever in the
opposite direction.
5. Once hydraulic lines are properly connected
for operation, secure cordura sleeving over
couplers to retain possible leaks.
NOTE: If hydraulic lines are removed from the
pump or if couplers are removed from hose ends,
ensure lines and couplers are replaced in the
same configuration as removed to ensure correct
oil flow direction is maintained.
