Usage
See the information that follows to correctly connect or
disconnect the hydraulic coupler:
• Relieve the hydraulic pressure before you connect or
disconnect the hydraulic coupler. This practice pre-
vents damage to components of the hydraulic coupler
such as the seal, the valve, and the locking balls.
• Do not use excessive force to disconnect or connect
the hydraulic coupler. Use your hands. Do not use a pry
tool to disconnect the hydraulic coupler.
• Make sure that the hydraulic couplers of the tractor are
clean prior to connection. Make sure that the hydraulic
couplers remain free of dirt and debris after disconnec-
tion.
• Make sure that the male end of the implement coupler
is clean prior to connection.
• Make sure that you connect the hydraulic coupler to the
correct type of male coupler. For a list of compatible
male couplers, see to the operator’s manual.
• Check the hose routings of the male tip that are in the
valve stack. Are the hose routings tight or too loose,
especially under sharp turns? Improper hose routings
could lead to future damage.
Maintenance
See the information that follows to clean the hydraulic
coupler. Also, prevent contamination of dirt and debris
prior to the connection of an implement.
• Use a solvent degreasing spray such as (part number
ZRG017CBRC ) to remove dirt and debris inside the
hydraulic coupler. For example, clean the seat, the mat-
ing area, the latching balls, and between the sleeve and
the body.
• Use a solvent degreasing spray and a clean rag to re-
move dirt and debris from the corresponding male im-
plement coupler.
• To prevent contamination of disconnected couplers,
close the protection cover for the coupler. Install a dust
cover on the corresponding male coupler.

Troubleshooting
A Jammed latching ball can make the hydraulic coupler
difficult to connect or disconnect.
1. Clean the hydraulic coupler, especially inside the hy-
draulic coupler. For more information, see the section
“Maintenance” earlier.
2. Remove any dirt or debris from the corresponding im-
plement male coupler.
3. Reconnect the hydraulic coupler.
4. Disconnect the hydraulic coupler.
5. If difficulty still occurs, repeat the cleaning process.
