DANGER
To avoid personal injury or death:
• The following engagement points are
critical.
– The lock pins of the quick-hitch have to
protrude into and through the pin slots
of the attachment on both sides.
It is critical that the pins are in good
condition and without visible signs of
wear or damage and that the operator
align the quick-hitch with the attachment
to allow the pins to go through the pin
slots.
– You have to push down both levers until
the levers contact the ear plates near the
points where the pin bolt goes through
the lever, as (A) of the following figure.
• Do not operate the machine or attachment
unless all of the preceding conditions are
met.
(1) Lever
(2) Ear plate
(3) Lock pin
(4) Pin slot
(A) The lever contacts the ear
plate at the points.
(B) The pin protrudes through
the slot.
9. When pushing the quick-hitch levers into the locked
position, visually verify that the lock pins protrude
through the slot.
10. When attaching different attachments, visually
inspect for broken or damaged pins. If broken or
damaged pins are found, replace them before
using.
Use of broken pins may result in detachment or
deformation, causing loss of performance, personal
injury or death.
You are now ready to use the attachment.
Detaching attachments
1. Lower the attachment to ground level with the
attachment slightly in the rolled back position.
2. Stop the engine.
The parking brake automatically engages.
3. Disconnect the electrical harness and hydraulic
lines of the attachment from the lift arms if
equipped.
4. Start the engine and push the hydraulic quick-hitch
switch in the unlocked position. Hold the hydraulic
quick-hitch switch in the unlocked position to make
sure that the quick-hitch levers are up.
5. While sitting in the operator's seat, slowly move the
right control (front operating) lever to the dump
position until the attachment is pushed away from
the quick-hitch.
6. Lower the lift arms so that the quick-hitch mounting
plate clears the saddle of the attachment.
7. Back the machine away from the attachment slowly.
