Regarding Parts
About New Parts
To aid in part identification, engineering drawings for
many new parts are included in “Appendix D - Draw-
ings”, pages 71 to 82.
After identifying a new part, just prior to installation,
remove and discard any tape or tags with part numbers
that might interfere with installation. Part numbers not
removed, or applied with grease or paint pencil, may be
removed at close-out.
A number of new cotter and roll pins are provided. Use
as needed when saved parts are unserviceable.
A large number of cable ties are provided. Use as
needed to secure cables and hoses. They are not called
out at every step.
About Existing Parts
This kit relies on re-use of some parts. Follow “remove
and save” instructions carefully. Parts that are “not
re-used” may be salvaged or discarded. They are not
returned to Great Plains.
High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Wear gloves and goggles when opening hydraulic connections.
Use cardboard to check for leaks. This update requires open-
ing existing hydraulic connections. Setting circuits to Float
may not relieve all residual pressure. This update requires
making new hydraulic connections. Check for leaks carefully.
If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance from
a physician familiar with this type of injury.
