Connecting the Bucket or Optional Attachments
IMPORTANT:
Use only manufacturer approved attachments. Attachments could change the stability
and operating characteristics of the machine. The warranty of the machine may by void if used with
unapproved attachments.
IMPORTANT:
Before connecting any attachments to the machine, make sure mount plates are free of
dirt and debris.
1. Move the speed control lever to the SLOW (turtle) position.
2. Slowly push the loader control lever to the right (dump) to tilt the attachment mount plate forward.
3. Slowly move the machine forward until the mount plate engages the attachment
’s receiver plate.
4. Slowly raise the loader arms by pulling back on the loader control lever while curling (tilting back)
the mount plate by moving the loader control lever to the left at the same time to engage the
attachment plate into the upper lip of the attachment’s receiver plate.
IMPORTANT:
The attachment needs to be raised high enough to clear the ground and the mount
plate needs to be tilted all the way back.
5. Turn the ignition key to OFF to stop the engine.
6. Engage the attachment lock pins.
Note:
Lock pins are located on the operator side of the mount plate and should be turned toward the
inside to engage.
Note:
Proceed to the next step if the auxiliary hydraulics are required with attachment, otherwise, the
machine is ready to operate.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure all foreign matter is cleaned from the hydraulic couplers before making
connections.
