Connecting Quick Attach Device (Optional)
When Connecting an Attachment to the Loader Quick Hitch
1.Be sure both quick hitch pin levers are in the unlocked position, with the levers pointing up. Tilt the loader quick hitch forward, drive the loader into the attachment bracket and engage top of the quick hitch into the top of the attachment bracket.
2.Raise the loader slightly and rotate the top of the quick hitch back toward the operator until the bottom of the attachment is seated firmly in the bottom of the quick hitch.
3.Rotate the quick hitch pin levers down 90 degrees to the locked position. You should feel a firm resistance when locking the levers down. The tapered pins must extend through the slots in the bottom of the attachment bracket. The tapered side of the pins must be firmly wedged against the surface of the slot at the bottom of the attachment bracket. If the pins are not wedged securely in place, the attachment may fall off resulting in possible severe crushing injury or death to the operator or bystander.
4.Raise the loader and attachment to shoulder height. By standing at the side of the loader, inspect the connection between the quick hitch and attachment.
Never walk or work under or allow any person to be underneath a raised loader or attachment.
•Examine the fit between the quick hitch and the bottom of the attachment bracket. The pins must extend through the slots in the bottom of the attachment bracket. The tapered side of each pin must be firmly wedged against the surface of the slot on the bottom of the attachment bracket. The attachment bracket should fit snugly against the bottom of the loader bracket. If there is a gap of more than 1/8” or if the pins are not firmly seated do not use the attachment. Contact your dealer before using the attachment.
