The attachment is mounted to the loader as follows:
Step 1:
•
Lift the quick attach plate locking pin / locking pins up
and turn them backwards into the slot so that they are
locked in the upper position.
•
If your 400-700 series loader is equipped with a
hydraulic attachment locking system, see additional
instructions about the use of the locking system from
the relevant manuals.
•
Ensure that the hydraulic hoses are not in the way
during installation.
Step 2:
•
Turn the quick attach plate hydraulically to an
obliquely forward position.
•
Drive the loader onto the attachment. If your loader is
equipped with a telescopic boom, you can utilise this.
Step 3:
•
Lift the boom slightly – pull the boom control lever
backward to raise the attachment off the ground.
•
Turn the boom control lever left to turn the bottom
section of the quick attach plate onto the attachment.
•
Lock the locking pins manually as you connect
the hydraulic fittings.
Before moving or raising the attachment,
ensure that the locking pins are in the lower
position and come through the fasteners on
both sides. Unlocked attachment may tip on
the boom or operator, and cause injuries.
Do not use the automatic return of the locking pins with the log cutter/splitter.
Because the quick attach plate of the machine is at high level, tilting of an unlocked
log cutter/splitter increases the risk of toppling over. We recommend that you lower
the log splitter onto the ground and secure the locking manually.
