Hydraulic System
The Hydraulic Cylinders are designed to be used in conjunction with your tractor's Hydraulic System. The
Cylinders and Hose are designed for maximum system pressure of 2500 PSI.
Keep Cylinders and Hoses free from internal contamination. Never leave a disconnected
Hose end open. Use a Sealant when attaching Hydraulic Hose to Cylinder. Do not over
tighten fittings as this will break out the Cylinder Port Housings. Do not operate with
hydraulic oil leaking. Oil is expensive and its presence could cause slips and falls and other
hazards. DO NOT CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH YOUR HAND. USE CARDBOARD
INSTEAD. High-pressure oil can penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage or even
GANGRENE. If oil does penetrate the skin, have it REMOVED IMMEDIATELY by a surgeon
skilled in this procedure.
NOTE: Never rotate Blade Tilt, Carrier Pivot, or Mainframe Pivot with hydraulics while Blade is under load. This
will cause excessive load on pins and shafts which will result in damage to Blade. Remove load from Blade and
then rotate.
Selector Valve (Accessory Equipment)
If the Mainframe Swing, Moldboard Pivot and Tilt
are fully hydraulic, as an added feature, all three
Cylinders can be operated from two remote outlets.
Below is a schematic diagram showing proper
routing of two Cylinders through the Selector Valve.
When installing this Valve, observe all safety
precautions as hydraulic lines are under high
pressure (2500 PSI). If additional information is
required concerning your hydraulic system, contact
your Bush Hog dealer. (Figure Asm-0008).
