Connecting the Hydraulic Hoses
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected
into the skin must be surgically removed
within a few hours by a doctor familiar with
this form of injury; otherwise, gangrene may
result.
• Ensure that all hydraulic-fluid hoses
and lines are in good condition and all
hydraulic connections and fittings are tight
before applying pressure to the hydraulic
system.
• Keep your body and hands away from
pinhole leaks or nozzles that eject
high-pressure hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks; never use your hands.

CAUTION
Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines/valves,
and hydraulic fluid may be hot. If you contact
hot components, you may be burned.
• Wear gloves when operating the hydraulic
couplers.

• Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
If the attachment requires hydraulics for operation,
connect the hydraulic hoses as follows:
1. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
2. Remove the protective covers from the hydraulic
connectors on the machine.
3. Ensure that all foreign matter is cleaned from
the hydraulic connectors.

female connector on the machine.
Note:
When you connect the attachment male
connector first, you relieve any pressure built
up in the attachment.
5. Push the attachment female connector onto the
male connector on the machine.
6. Confirm that the connection is secure by pulling
on the hoses.
