Position hydraulic cylinder with ports on top. Installtwo 90 degree elbows into the cylinder ports andtighten as needed.2. Screw 96" long hydraulic hoses into the elbows andtighten. Use 101” long hydraulic hoses when sing aQuick Hitch.3. Thread adapter fittings to the other end of thehydraulic hoses and tighten. (Hydraulic couplings notfurnished.)4. Attach hydraulic cylinder to the lugs located on eitherside of the Rear Blade with clevis pins. Make surehydraulic ports are positioned on top and the cylinderbase in positioned to the front as shown.5. Secure clevis pins with hair pin cotters.6. Route hoses through hose brackets located on top ofthe main frame and on the right side of the front hitch.Connect hoses to tractor's hydraulic system.IMPORTANT: Attach cylinder base to the front hitchlug. The cylinder base will interfere with the mainframe if attached to the rear lug.Blade Tilting CylinderRefer to Figure 1-6:Assemble hydraulic hoses to the hydraulic cylinderbefore placing cylinder on the blade.1.
