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.
