Lifting Objects; Digging With The Lower Jaw; Transport Position - Toro Skeleton Grapple TXL 2000 Operator's Manual

CAUTION
Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines/valves,
and hydraulic fluid may be hot. If you contact
hot components, you may be burned.
• Wear gloves when disconnecting the
hydraulic couplers.
• Allow the machine to cool before touching
hydraulic components.
• Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.

Lifting Objects

Use the attachment to grab and lift heavy objects such
as logs and rocks. Adjust the pressure on the auxiliary
hydraulic controls to change grasping speed.
Important:
Grab objects from the center.
Never lift more than the rated lift capacity of
the attachment as listed on the decals. When
transporting a load, keep it as close to the ground
as possible with the loader arms retracted.
Important:
If you are lifting more delicate or
hollow items, such as crates, close the jaws with
care so as not to crush the item being moved.

Digging with the Lower Jaw

Important:
Do not dig or rake using the upper jaw.
1. To dig or rake using the lower jaw, open the jaws
and lower the lower jaw teeth into the ground
(Figure 5).
2. Drive the machine forward.
Note:
This digs furrows in the earth, breaking
up the sod, and also pushes any debris ahead
of the attachment.
