SECTION 3 -- FIELD OPERATION
3--65
To equalise the pressure in the hose and tractor
couplers, start the engine and move the joystick or
valve control lever (1), to the ‘float’ position, then
return it to neutral. To disconnect, grip the hose a
short distance from the coupler, push the hose
forward, into the coupler, then quickly pull on the
hose to ‘pop’ the coupler free. Close the hinged cover
to protect the valve.
WARNING
Never work under equipment supported by a
hydraulic device because it may drop if the control is
actuated (even with the engine stopped) or in the
event of hose failure. Always use a secure support
for equipment which must be serviced while in the
raised position.
NOTE: Remote cylinders are operated by oil drawn
from the tractor hydraulic system, therefore, always
check and replenish the hydraulic system oil after
remote cylinder equipment has been connected and
cycled a few times. Operating the tractor with a low
oil level may result in damage to the rear axle and
transmission components.
When topping up the rear axle to accommodate the
requirement of remote cylinders, no more than 20
litres (5.28 U.S. Gallons) should be added to bring
the oil level up to the full mark on the dipstick.
Alternatively, remote cylinders with a total oil
capacity of up to 18 litres (4.75 U.S. Gallons) may be
connected to the tractor hydraulic system without
adding oil, provided that the tractor is being operated
on level ground.
