5. Attaching the attachment
Attaching the attachment to the loader is quick and easy, but it must be done carefully. The attachment is
mounted to the loader boom by using the quick attach plate on the loader boom and the counterpart on the
attachment.
If the attachment is not locked to the loader, it may detach from the loader and cause a hazardous situation.
The loader must not be driven and the boom must never be lifted when the attachment has not been locked.
To prevent hazardous situations, always follow the coupling procedure shown below. Also remember the
safety instructions shown in this manual. The attachment is mounted to the loader as follows:
WARNING: Crushing risk - Make sure that an unlocked attachment will not
move or fall over. Do not stay in the area between the attachment and the loader.
Mount the attachment only on level surface.
Never move or lift an attachment that has not been locked.
Step 1:

Lift the quick attach plate 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 and the electric harness 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.

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 check the locking of both locking pins.
