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:
•
Turn the boom control lever left to turn the bottom section of the quick attach
plate onto the attachment.
•
Lift the boom slightly – pull the boom control lever backward to raise the
attachment slightly off the ground.
•
Turn the boom control lever further to the left so that the locking pins lock the
attachment as they hit the pin guides.
The automatic return of the locking pins is an useful feature, when mounting an empty attachment to the
loader on even surfaces. In other cases we recommend that you lock the pins manually.
Before moving or lifting the attachment, ensure that
the locking pins are in the lower position and come
through the fasteners on both sides. Unlocked
attachment may fall on the boom or operator and
cause injuries.
Do not use the automatic locking of the locking pins at a height of over one metre. If
the locking pins do not return to the normal position when the front plate is tilted, do not
raise the attachment any more. Lower the attachment on the ground and secure the
locking manually.
When you are finished working with the silage forks, lower the grapple completely. Place the attachment on
an even surface, where it cannot move by accident. See chapter 8 for instructions about cleaning and
storing the equipment.
Do not try to move the silage forks by hand. The attachment is heavy and may tip over, or you may injure
yourself if attempting to move the forks by hand. Leave the silage forks in a place, from where you can
attach them directly with the loader.
