Quickhitch Assembly
Introduction
The Excavator Quickhitch, which is attached to the dipper
permits fast removal and installation of the bucket (and
other attachments).
The Quickhitch is mechanically operated and does not
require hydraulic connections.
!MCAUTION
When the Quick-Hitch is installed and its attachment
fitted, there is a danger of the attachment hitting the
underside of the boom. Operate the boom and dipper
carefully when the Quick-Hitch and its attachment are
fitted.

Note: To prevent premature wear, failure and breakage,
the Quickhitch assembly must be used with a rockbreaker
for short periods only. If the machine is to be used for rock
breaking for a long period of time, it is recommended that
the rockbreaker is installed directly on the machine. When
using a rockbreaker, it must be curled towards the machine
(as a typical digging operation). Do not use the
rockbreaker as a lever as this causes excessive loads on
the locking mechanism.
!MCAUTION
When the Quickhitch is fitted to the machine,
allowance must be made for the weight of the
Quickhitch on the rated operating load. The mass of
the Quickhitch is stamped on the data plate
