Artillian male quick disconnect fittings not engaging with OEM female quick disconnect fittings?

The male quick disconnect (QD) fittings on the Artillian Hydraulic Diverter Kit P1 & P2 hoses may not engage properly with some OEM female quick disconnect fittings. This could allow fluid to flow into the hydraulic hoses, but not return to the tank on the tractor. Symptoms may include:

• Grapple (or other attachment) opening / closing for a short period of time and then “locking up”
• Grapple not functioning at all
• Tractor dump / curl operation working for a short period of time and then “locking up”
• Tractor dump / curl operation not functioning at all

1. Compare the male QD fittings from the Artillian HDK P1 & P2 hoses with the male QD fittings on the original dump / curl hoses removed from the tractor.

2. If the nipple on the QD fitting poppet valve is larger on the tractor factory QD fitting, then the Artillian HDK kit may not function properly.
3. Remove the male QD fittings from the Artillian P1 & P2 hoses and from the tractor factory dump / curl hoses.
4. Replace the male QD fittings on the Artillian P1 & P2 hoses with the male QD fittings removed from the tractor factory dump / curl hoses. Reattach the P1 & P2 hoses to the appropriate female QD fittings on the tractor.
5. The grapple (or other attachment) and the tractor dump curl functions should now be working properly.
