hydraulic lines

[BTG]

so I bought the 2660 last fall and used it for snow blowing all winter which it worked great. Now im putting the loader back on and the two center hoses wont connect. The manual says to push the stick forward all the way and that will release pressure but that didnt happen. Is there anyone that can tell me the correct procedure for atatching these hoses.

Thanks,

BTG

You have to release the pressure in the hoses. Some people push the detent balls inside fittings with sticks, screw drivers and what ever. The fluid can cause serious health problems if injected into skin. I loosened a connector which released the pressure then they just clicked on easy after a day of pure **** trying to get them to connect. Tighten connector back down if you do it my way. Sun and or temperature can raise the pressure.

After shutting the engine down, I push the FEL controls up, down, dump and curl. If that doesn't do it, what John said.

were saftey glasses!!! Put rag over end of hose if you are letting pressure go from them....Don't ask how I know.
