Hydraulic Hose Hookup
!
WARNING
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pres-
sure to penetrate the skin. Check all hydraulic lines
and fittings before applying pressure. Fluid escaping
from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use pa-
per or cardboard, not body parts, and wear heavy
gloves to check for suspected leaks. If injured, seek
medical assistance from a doctor that is familiar with
this type of injury. Foreign fluids in the tissue must be
surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene
will result.
When hooking hydraulic hoses to tractor hook
hose coming from flow-control valve on seeder to
the pressurized side of the remote circuit. Hook
return line to sump. See Figure 4.
Check that seed-cup shaft on seeder is rotating in
the correct direction. When standing on the left-
hand side of seeder, the shaft should rotate coun-
terclockwise. If necessary, switch hoses at
outlets.
For future reference, refer to plastic hose holder to
distinguish hoses. See Figure 5.
NOTE: For tractors with open center hydraulic
systems, refer to your tractor manufacturer’s
recommendation before hooking up the hy-
draulics on this unit.
