Hitching Tractor to Planter
Crushing Hazard:
Do not stand or place any part of your body between planter
and moving tractor. You may be severely injured or killed by
being crushed between the tractor and planter. Stop tractor
engine and set park brake before attaching cables and hoses.
Hydraulic Hookup
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines.
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Use a piece of paper
or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for leaks. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs, seek immediate
medical attention from a physician familiar with this type of
injury.
Hydraulic Hose Hookup
Refer to Figure 3
Great Plains hydraulic hoses have color coded handle
grips to help you hookup hoses to your tractor outlets.
Hoses that go to the same remote valve are marked with
the same color.
Current Style Color Coded Hose Handles
To distinguish hoses on the same hydraulic circuit, refer
to the symbol molded into the handle grip. Hoses with an
extended-cylinder symbol feed cylinder base ends.
Hoses with a retracted-cylinder symbol feed cylinder rod
ends.
For hydraulic fan and drive motors, connect the hose
under the retracted cylinder symbol to the pressure side
of the motor. Connect the hose under the extended
cylinder symbol to the return side of the motor.
The fan motor further requires hookup of a third line,
which returns hydraulic fluid from the fan motor case.
