Assembly of compressor
The attachment is ready for use as delivered. The rear mount frame can be installed as shown in Chapter
5.4 to a loader that isn’t fitted with rear side counterweights or rear lift device.
5.1.
Mounting the compressor to the loader boom
Mounting the attachment to the loader boom 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 pins up and turn them 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 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:
•
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 more to the left to engage locking pins, or lock
the hydraulic locking.
•
Always make sure that the attachment is fully locked.
