Hook-Up Hydraulic Hoses to Skid Steer

DANGER

!

To prevent serious injury or death:  

Hydraulic fluid under high pressure will penetrate the skin 
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves 
and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic 
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands 
when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of 
injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene 
may result. DO NOT DELAY.

WARNING

!

To prevent serious injury or death:  

Make sure hydraulic hoses are properly routed so that they 
will not become pinched or kinked while operating equipment. 
A pinched or kinked hose can burst and leak hydraulic fluid.

Refer to Figure 1-13:

1.

Route hydraulic hoses (#1 & #2) through the most 
convenient path to access your power equipment 
couplers. Path shown may not be the most 
convenient.

NOTE:  

Skid steer hydraulics can vary from one 

machine to another. Be sure to review “Hydraulic 
Hook-Up” in your Skid Steer Operator’s Manual 
before hooking hydraulic hoses to the Skid Steer.

2.

Clean quick connect couplers of dirt and then 
connect male and female couplers to the skid steer or 
tractor outlets. Make sure quick connect couplers 
have fully engaged. If they have not, check the 
following:

a. Make sure couplers are same size and type.

b. Make sure hydraulic pressure has been released.

3.

Attach quick release couplers (male #2A & 
female #1A) to the skid steer quick release couplers. 

4.

From inside the skid steer cab, lift Post Hole Digger 
up until auger is off the ground 1 to 2 inches.

5.

With skid steer set at an idle, engage hydraulics to 
view auger rotation. The auger should rotate 
clockwise when looking down from above. If auger 
rotates counterclockwise, switch quick release 
couplers on hydraulic hoses (#1 & #2) as follows:

a. Shut power machine down using “Power Machine 

Shutdown Procedure” on page 7 before 
dismounting.

b. Disconnect hose couplers from skid steer outlets 

and switch male coupler (#1A) with female 
coupler (#2A) on hydraulic hoses (#1 & #2).

c. Reconnect hose couplers to skid steer quick 

release couplers. Also see 

“Hydraulic Hook-Up”

in your skid steer Operator’s Manual.

6.

Secure hydraulic hoses as needed with zip ties (#3) 
to keep hoses from becoming pinched, stretched, 
and/or kinked.

7.

Cycle loader through complete range of motions to 
verify hydraulic lines will not become pinched, 
stretched, and/or kinked. Make any necessary 
adjustments.
