7.0 Installation & Removal
7.1 Attach the Skid-Pac to Carrier
The Skid-Pac is designed specifically for use with
skid-steers and is attached to the carrier in the same
manner as mounting a bucket. Use standard
mechanic’s techniques and tools. The described
installation is for the ‘Universal’ style quick-coupler.
Procedures may vary and you should always follow
the instructions in the manual provided by the carrier
manufacturer.
For carriers equipped with a non-standard mounting
coupler, refer to the owner’s manual furnished by the
coupler manufacturer for instructions.

the operator and assistant must be qualified in these
procedures. All directions and signals must be
agreed upon in advance. Take signals from only one
person.
CAUTION
Crush injury. Keep hands, feet and other

With the bucket removed from the carrier, install the
Skid-Pac in the same manner as mounting a bucket.

The following describes basic procedures to follow
when mounting the Skid-Pac to a machine equipped
with a ‘Universal’ style mounting coupler.
The machine operator shall perform the following
procedure:
1. Operator: Move carrier and Skid-Pac to a firm
level surface and away from traffic.
2. Operator / Assistant: Clean areas free of rust and
debris before Skid-Pac is installed. Inspect
coupler including latch assembly for proper
operation.
3. Operator: Maneuver the coupler up to the Allied
work tool bracket. Align the lock pins with the
holes in mounting frame and secure latch
assemblies.
4. Operator: Test engagement of coupler.
5. Operator: Check that the carrier is sufficiently
stable with the load of the Skid-Pac.
7.2 Connect Pressure and Return Lines
CAUTION
Hydraulic circuits differ between
machines. Improper set up can
damage the Skid-Pac or carrier. Only
qualified personnel, having knowledge
of the machine’s systems should
install.
Identify whether the carrier's pressure line is located
on the right-hand or left-hand side. Do not guess. The
Skid-Pac will not operate if these hoses are crossed.
CAUTION
Fluid penetration hazard. Release
pressure trapped in hoses before
disconnecting. Wear appropriate
protective equipment including safety
eyewear and gloves.
IMPORTANT
Contamination can diminish service life. Prevent
contaminating the oil. Always clean the area around
connections prior to opening the hydraulic system.
