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.
•
Due to the storage position of the mini digger, it
may be necessary to assist the mounting of the
attachment by hand. Drive the loader of the
boom to as close as possible next to the
attachment, and tilt the plate fairly to make it
easier to lift the digger on the plate.
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.
•
Release the locking 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.
The automatic returning of the locking pins is an useful feature, when attaching an empty attachment at low
height and on even surfaces. Otherwise we recommend to lock the pins manually.
5.2. Connecting and disconnecting the hydraulic fittings
The two hydraulic fittings of the mini digger are connected to corresponding fittings on the loader. The hoses
should be connected so that the fittings with coloured caps are connected. This way the auxiliary hydraulics
control lever will move the bucket the same way every time the digger is used.
To connect and disconnect the fittings, move the collar at the end of the female fitting. Before connecting or
disconnecting hydraulic fittings, shut down the loader engine and move the auxiliary hydraulics lever on the
loader to its extreme positions a few times. This way, there will be no residual pressure in the system and the
fittings are easy to connect.
