The snow plow is ready for use as delivered. Mount the attachment and its hydraulic hoses to the loader as
instructed. Read the instructions related to using the equipment and begin the practise of use at a safe
area.
5.1.
Mounting the snow plow to the loader
Mounting the attachment to the loader is quick and easy, but it must be done carefully. An attachment that
has not been locked may come off from the loader and cause hazardous situations. The attachment is
mounted to the loader boom by using the quick attach plate and the counterpart on the attachment. In the
worst case, the attachment may slide onto the driver along a raised boom. For this reason, the attachment
must under no circumstances be raised to a height of over one metre when it has not been locked. To
prevent hazardous situations, always follow the attachment mounting instructions provided in the following
pages. Also remember the safety instructions in Section 3 and the instructions provided in the operator’s
manual of the loader.
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 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 or the electric cables are not in the way
during mounting.
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. Align the upper pins of the loader’s
quick coupling plate so that they are under the corresponding brackets
of the attachment.
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 or lock the hydraulic locking.
•
Always ensure positive locking of pins.
