5. Assembling the attachment
Attaching the attachment on the rear of the loader is quick and easy, but it must be done carefully. The
attachment is mounted to the rear of the loader by using M12 bolts (4 pcs) and thread locking compound.
If the attachment is not mounted properly, it may detach from the loader and cause a hazardous situation. The
loader must not be driven if the attachment has not been fixed properly.
5.1 Connecting and disconnecting hydraulic hoses
WARNING
Risk of movement of the attachment and ejection of hydraulic oil - Never connect
or disconnect quick couplings or other hydraulic components while the control
lever of the auxiliary hydraulics control lever is locked on or if the system is
pressurized.
Connecting or disconnecting the hydraulic couplings while the system is
pressurized may lead to unintended movements of the attachment, or ejection of high-
pressure fluid, which can cause serious injuries or burns. Follow safe stopping procedure
before disconnecting hydraulics.
Keep all fittings as clean as possible; use the protective caps on both the attachment and
the loader. Dirt, ice, etc. may make using the fittings significantly more difficult. Never
leave the hoses hanging on the ground; place the couplings onto the holder on the
attachment.
When uncoupling the attachment, always disconnect the hydraulic couplings before
removing the trailer hitch, to prevent hose damage and any oil spills. Reinstall the
protective caps on the fittings to prevent water, dirt, and other impurities from entering the
hydraulic system.
