E. OPERATING THE QUICK-ATTACH SYSTEM
DISCONNECT SOLUTION LINES, ELECTRICAL LINES, AND HYDRAULIC LINES
– Once you
have cleared the lock pin, you will have to disconnect anything that
may be connecting the boom to the machine. This includes solution
lines, electrical lines, and hydraulic lines.
Make sure that the solution valve is OFF. There will be a small
amount of solution leak out. If it doesn’t stop, or it is excessive, check
the valve switch. If the switch is off, contact Hagie Customer Service
for repair or parts.
A standard GST machine will have 3 points of disconnection
from the boom: the electrical pigtail on the front-right hand side of the
machine (fig. 4.60-1), the hydraulic quick coupler in the center of the
machine (fig. 4.60-2), and the main solution disconnect on the right
side of the machine, above the front wheel (fig. 4.60-3).
Remember to use the caps that are provided for the hoses. If
there is not a cap, cover the opening with a plastic bag secured with
tape until you can get a replacement cap from Hagie Customer Ser-
vice. (See Parts Manual)
Once you have disconnected everything, you may slowly back
away from the boom. The lift arms will stay in their position because of
an automatic block that holds the pressure in the lift cylinders.
NOTE:
Make sure the solution valves are OFF
before disconnecting solution hoses!
FIG. 4.60-2
Turn the engine OFF before disconnecting
any hoses or electrical lines! Failure to do so
may result in serious injury or death.
