DANGERHydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate skin. Wearprotective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when workingwith hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or woodrather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. Ifhydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must be treated by adoctor within a few hours or gangrene may result.Refer to Figure 1-2:1. Locate elbow (#10) with a small orifice opening inone end. Attach that elbow to the base of hydrauliccylinder (#3). Attach the other elbow (#4) to the rodend. Hand tighten elbows.2. Screw hydraulic hose (#7) to fitting (#10) and tighten.3. Screw hydraulic hose (#6) to fitting (#4) and tighten.4. Thread hydraulic hoses from left to right throughhitch frame slots.5. Attach base end of hydraulic cylinder (#3) to hitchassembly lugs with clevis pin (#2) and hairpin (#1).6. Attach rod end of hydraulic cylinder (#3) to pivotassembly with clevis pin (#2) and hairpin (#1).7. Adjust elbow fittings (#4 & #10) as needed to preventwear on hoses due to frame contact and tighten.8. Hydraulic hoses may be routed one of two ways:Option 1 - Refer to Figure 1-2:a. Thread hydraulic hoses (#6 & #7) through springhose loop (#13).b. Zip tie hoses together 30" from QD couplers withzip tie (#12).Option 2 - Refer to Figure 1-3:a. Thread hydraulic hoses (#6 & #7) under left footstep as shown.b. Zip tie hoses together 30" from QD couplers. Ziptie not shown.9. Thread adapter fittings (#5) or 90 o elbows (#11) tohydraulic hoses (#6 & #7) and tighten.10. Attach male quick coupling (#8) to fitting (#5 or #11)on hose (#7) and tighten.11. Attach female quick coupling (#9) to fitting(#5 or #11) on hose (#6) and tighten.IMPORTANT: Make sure threads and insides offittings and hoses are clean.Kubota CTL Note: Attach male QD coupler (#8) tohydraulic hose (#7) & hose to base of cylinder (#3).NOTE: Customer to chose which fitting best fitsequipment set-up, 90 o elbows (#11) or straightadapters (#5).Hydraulic Assembly (Option 1 Hose Routing)Figure 1-2Hydraulic Assembly (Option 2 Hose Routing)Figure 1-3tractor/skid steer Hook-UpRefer to Figure 1-4:!
