material, and similar protection on the 
right side of the operator's cab.

 

                                                             

Make sure your 

skid steer is in good working condition. 
Follow the operating instructions found 
in the manual that accompanied your 
skid steer. Failure 

to 

do 

so 

could result 

in Minor or Serious Injury.

 

Unpacking Your 
Shipment

 

Your attachment arrives from the 
factory banded to a wooden pallet, 
and requires no final assembly.

 

                                                               

Careless 

 

removal of the shipping bands that 
secure the implement 

to 

the pallet could 

result in Minor or Serious Injury. Clear 
the area of all bystanders and stand 

to 

the side when cutting the bands with a 
pair of sheet metal shears.

 

Using Your Implement 

Connecting Cutter to Skid 

Steer

 

Verify that the hydraulic hoses and the 
wire harness are clear from the front of the 
attaching plate on the attachment and that 
the mounting plate is free from dirt and 
debris. When clear, move the skid steer to 
proximity of attachment plate. Tilt skid 
steer coupler forward to align coupling 
point with the upper part on the

 

attachment plate and raise the coupler 
slightly.

 

Connecting Coupler 

to 

Attachment

 

When the top edge of the coupler is 
seated in the top part of the coupler 
plate, roll the skid steer tilt function back 
until the attaching plate is flat against 
the skid steer coupler. Lock down the 
coupler levers.

 

                                            

 

Wipe off any dirt

 

or dust from the male or female 
hydraulic flat-face couplers with a 
clean rag before attaching hoses, 

to 

keep contaminants from entering the 
hydraulic system ..

 

Connect the cutter hydraulic hoses to the 
auxiliary circuit connectors on the skid 
steer. Connect the electrical harness to 
the appropriate connector on the skid 
steer.

 

Check the surrounding area for 
bystanders and clear them before starting 
the skid steer or attachment.

 

Before operating the attachment, always 
visually inspect and verify that the coupler 
lock pins are fully engaged through the 
latch slots on the attachment plate.

Serious Injury.
