1. Quick attach pins (shown
in engaged position)
2. Disengaged position
If you do not fully seat the quick attach pins
through the attachment mount plate, the
attachment could fall off of the traction unit,
crushing you or bystanders.
Ensure that your quick attach pins are fully
seated in the attachment mount plate.
Connecting the Hydraulic Hoses
If the attachment requires hydraulics for operation,
connect the hydraulic hoses as follows:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever forward,
backward, and back to neutral to relieve pressure
at the hydraulic couplers.
3. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever into the reverse
position.
4. Remove the protective covers from the hydraulic
couplers on the traction unit.
5. Ensure that all foreign matter is cleaned from the
hydraulic connectors.
3. Engaged position
6. Push the attachment male connector into the female
connector on the traction unit.
Note: When you connect the attachment male
connector first, you will relieve any pressure built up
in the attachment.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected
into the skin must be surgically removed within
a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form
of injury or gangrene may result.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin
hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks, never use your hands.
Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines/valves, and
hydraulic fluid may be hot. If you contact hot
components you may be burned.
• Wear gloves when operating the hydraulic
couplers.
• Allow the traction unit to cool before
touching hydraulic components.
• Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
7. Push the attachment female connector into the
male connector on the traction unit.
8. Confirm that the connection is secure by pulling
on the hoses.
9. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever to neutral.
Removing an Attachment
1. Lower the attachment to the ground.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Disengage the quick attach pins by turning them
to the outside.
4. If the attachment uses hydraulics, move the auxiliary
hydraulics lever forward, backward, and back to
neutral to relieve pressure at the hydraulic couplers.
5. If the attachment uses hydraulics, slide the collar
back on the hydraulic couplers and disconnect them.
