Two-Outlet Hydraulic Kit
2- and 3-Section Drills
Used with drill models:
• 2S-2600/F/HD/HDF
• 3S-3000/F/HD/HDF
• 3S-4000/F/HD/HDF
• 3S-5000/F/HD/HDF

General Information

These instructions explain how to install the Two-Outlet Hydraulic Kit. This combines the drill’s two Lift circuits (Opener and Transport) into a single circuit at the hitch. With this kit, a tractor having only two remotes can operate a drill which would otherwise require three circuits.
These instructions apply to:
Kit Kit Description
194-122A 3S TWO OUTLET TRACTOR HYD. KIT
This kit relies on some existing drill components.
This kit includes some parts not required, depending on drill vintage, and drill options already present or also being installed at this time.
If Markers are also to be installed, install the Two-Outlet Hydraulic Kit first.
When you see this symbol, the subsequent instructions and warnings are serious - follow without exception. Your life and the lives of others depend on it!

Before You Start

Review these instructions, and make sure you understand which existing system components are re­used, and where they are located. The new components, and the existing components to be re-used or discarded, are located on the tongue of the drill, near the hitch.
Inventory the contents per “New Parts: Kit 194-122A” on page 9.

Tools Required

• basic hand tools
• a tractor with two hydraulic circuits and suitable hitch
• liquid thread sealant (for NPT fittings only - do not use PTFE tape)
• buckets for recovery of hydraulic oil from open hoses
These instructions presume a drill that has seen some use, and may have pressure in the hydraulic system. The installation may be done with the drill folded or unfolded.
Negative Tongue Weight Hazard:
If unfolded, the drill must be hitched to a tractor during Opener Lift, to avoid negative tongue weight. Hitch loads can range between +4000 pounds (folded) and -1000 pounds (unfolded), depending on drill model and configuration.

Pre-Assembly Preparation

Inspect the Mounting Site

Refer to Figure 2
1. Examine the mounting site on the tongue. See if a
valve is already on the valve mount , and if any hoses are under the clamps just aft of the mount.
2. Make sure the clamp hardware ( or ) is present.
It may be one of two different styles, depending on the drill vintage. If there are no hoses under the clamp, remove and save any: bolts, lock washers, flat washers, clamp hold-downs, clamps and hose guards.
If the drill does not have markers installed, a valve mount welded on the tongue is available. The Two­Outlet selector valve mounts there, and includes a bracket to provide a second mount point for another valve.
If the drill already has markers installed, the valve mount welded on the tongue already will already have a valve mounted on it. You can mount the Two-Outlet selector valve above it, or exchange their positions, using the bracket in this kit.

Hydraulic Pressure Relief

High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
Only trained personnel should work on system hydraulics!
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene will result.
Installation of this kit may require, at a later step, breaking sealed hydraulic connections at quick-disconnect couplers. It is crucial to safety that these lines be depressurized.
3. If the available tractor has hydraulic circuits with “float” capability, connect the Transport and Opener Lift circuits, and relieve any residual system pressure by floating the circuits.
If no suitable tractor is available, “crack” (carefully loosen) the connections for both Lift circuits the at the bleeding points specified in the drill Operator manual. Leave them cracked for later bleeding.
Bleed only at:
JIC (Joint Industry Conference, 37° flare) or NPT (National Pipe Thread, tapered) fittings.
Never bleed at:
ORB (O-Ring Boss) or QD (Quick Disconnect) fittings.

Prepare New Hitch Hoses

Two circuits (Transport Lift and Opener Lift), which were intended for direct connection to tractor remote ports, are reconnected to the new selector valve starting at step 19. Any Quick Disconnects (QDs) or hose handles on those hoses are transferred or replaced.
The kit includes two new hitch hoses to the tractor. For newer drills (with hose handles), continue at “2012+ Remove/Transfer Hose Handles”. For older drills (without hose handles), continue at “2011- Remove/Add
Quick Disconnects” on page 6.

2012+ Remove/Transfer Hose Handles

10. Identify the two existing lift hoses.
• Transport Lift - Base End and Rod End
• Opener Lift - Base End and Rod End

Verify that pressure is relieved, per step 3 on page 3, in all four hoses.
Refer to Figure 6
11. Remove and save four sets of hose handle bodies from both sets of existing lift hoses .
Save the blue handles. The red handles are not reused.
Protect the exposed MORB-threaded hose ends from contamination.
12. Remove four QD assemblies consisting of:

Connect Lift Circuit Hoses

Refer to Figure 9 (depicting 2012+ hoses - 2011- hoses are MNPT-terminated without adaptors)
Note: Do not use thread sealant on JIC or ORB
connections.
Note: It may be necessary to loosen the FNPTS-MORB
adaptors on the valve in order to tighten hose NPT connections without twisting the hoses. Alternatively, hoses can be disconnected at cylinder-end JIC connections.
19. Connect the Transport Lift hoses to the forward valve ports (stamped “1B” and “2B”).
Connect the rod (retract) hose to the upper port (stamped “1B”). Connect the base (extend) hose to the lower port (stamped “2B”).
20. Connect the Opener Lift hoses to the aft valve ports (stamped “1A” and “2A”).

24. If no additional hydraulic options are to be installed at this time, bleed the Lift systems per the instructions in the drill Operator Manual. Follow hitching instructions carefully, due to high positive and negative hitch loads in various drill configurations.
25. Confirm selector valve handle(s) forward is Transport, handle(s) aft is Field, and all Extend/ Retract settings operate Base/Rod cylinder ends as expected.

Existing Parts Affected

The following existing parts may be involved in the kit installation. Which clamp bracket and fasteners are present depends on drill vintage.The Disposition column indicates whether parts are left in place, moved or not re­used.
The part call-out numbers in the list match all Figures in the installation instructions. Descriptions match those in your drill Parts manual.
On an existing drill that has seen some use, and on which markers have never been installed, the clamp may be missing.
Part numbers are provided for ordering replacements. The current bracket set is at left above, based on clamp 196-146D, which has replaced clamp 196-112D.
Quick Disconnects may vary from these parts.
