HYDRAULIC UNIT

Remote Control Valve Coupler

Connecting and Disconnecting

To avoid personal injury:

Stop the engine and relieve pressure before
connecting or disconnecting lines.

Do not use your hand to check for leaks.

Connecting

1. Clean both couplers.
2. Remove dust plugs.
3. Insert the implement coupler to the tractor hydraulic

coupler.

4. Pull the implement coupler slightly to make sure

couplers are firmly connected.

Disconnecting

1. Lower the implement first to the ground to release

hydraulic pressure in the hoses.

2. Clean the couplers.
3. Relieve pressure by moving hydraulic control levers

with engine shut off. Pull the hose straight from the
hydraulic coupler to release it.

4. Clean oil and dust from the coupler, then replace the

dust plugs.

Your local KUBOTA Dealer can supply parts to adapt
couplers to hydraulic hoses.

Flow Control Valve (option)

The optional flow control valve may be added for the
following purposes.
1. To operate within limits, the remote control valves (2)

or (3) above the flow control valve (4) and the 3-point
hitch at the same time without one affecting the other.

2. To operate within limits, the remote control valves (2)

or (3) above the flow control valve (4) and the other
remote control valve (1) at the same time without one
affecting the other. Activating the remote control valve
(1) will interrupt the operation of the 3-point hitch.

3. To maintain within limits, the constant speed of an

attachment (hydraulic motor RPM, for example) when
connected to the remote control valves (2) or (3) above
the flow control valve (4).

At slower engine speeds the total hydraulic flow rate
may be inadequate for simultaneous operation of the
remote control valves (2) or (3) and the 3-point hitch or
the remote control valve (1), or operation of an
attachment connected to the remote control valves
(1)(2)(3). Under these conditions, the engine speed
must be increased to provide additional hydraulic flow.

The remote control valves (2) and (3) above the flow
control valve (4) can not be operated at the same time.

Adjusting the flow rate

To avoid the possibility of personal injury be
aware of the following when making adjustments:

The 3-point hitch operation is influenced by the
combination of the adjustment of the flow
control valve and the engine speed.

The 3-point hitch may raise slowly or not at all
at low engine RPM.

The 3-point hitch may raise suddenly if engine
RPM is increased, or, flow control adjustment
is changed.

Refer to the illustration below.
1. The flow rate for the remote control valves (2) or (3),

located on above the flow control valve (4), can be
adjusted.

2. Turn the flow control knob (5) counterclockwise (A),

and the flow rate for the remote control valves (2) or (3)
increases. A clockwise turn (B) of the knob causes the
flow to decrease. If the knob is turned all the way (C),
there will be no flow.

3. To adjust the flow rate, set the engine speed to the

operating RPM, turn the flow control knob once all the
way clockwise (C), and then turn it gradually
counterclockwise until a required flow rate is reached.

Full adjustment of the valve will occur in approximately
1 1/2 revolutions of the flow control knob. Turning the
flow control knob beyond this point will have no affect
on the flow rate.

When there is no need to adjust the flow rate, turn the
flow control knob all the way counterclockwise and
keep it in this position.
