3. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever forward, backward, and back to the NEUTRAL position to
relieve hydraulic pressure at the hydraulic couplers. This step can be disregarded if the bucket or
attachment does not utilize the hydraulic connectors.
4. Slide the collar back on the hydraulic coupler to release the connection and pull back on the
attachment’s couplers to disconnect the attachment couplers from the machine couplers.
