Grapple Grapple Hydraulic lines???

[Bigman]

Hello all, just bought a WR Long Grapple for the B3030, mounted the valve body on the loader frame, all wired, ready to mount grapple and connect lines Saturday morning.

My question is what do I do with the 2-18" lines that stay attached to the valve when I remove the grapple? there is a male and female coupling, do I connect them together as this would create a circuit thru the valve? and storing the grapple do I connect the lines on the grapple together??

I have a WR Long valve on my L4330. Usually if I'm just swapping between grapple and 4n1 bucket I leave them unplugged.
If I'm using the forks or other attachment that doesn't require hydraulics, then I put them together.
Just remember in either case, if you have the electric valve set up, to turn the tractor off, turn the ignition back on and operate the rocker switch a couple of times to relieve the hydraulic pressure before you try to connect another implement.
