bucket cylinder to lower the link bars to the
PowerGrip.
3. Align the PowerGrip and link bar holes and
install the link pin.
4. Slowly lift the PowerGrip to a safe height with
the bucket and boom cylinders.

pivot pin. Rotate the pins as necessary and
install the required retainers.
Each PowerGrip is engineered for a specific
backhoe or excavator and is designed to be pin
mounted directly to the machine. When using
All PowerGrip models should be mounted to the
carrier according to the instructions outlined below.
To remove the PowerGrip bucket follow the
instructions outlined below.
1. Position the bucket so it is lightly supported by
the ground and in a position so it will not move

2. Remove the bucket pivot and link pins.
6. Safety check. Check that the Helac
Attachment is fitting correctly by maneuvering
it with the machine and at the same time
watching for any interference or resistance to
movement that may exist. If there is any sign
of problems with the smooth functioning of
