8. Check the attachment and the
quick coupling plate
Check the locking of attachment and locking pins on
attachment coupling plate. Check both locking pins:

Both pins must move
easily and come through
the lower brackets of the
attachment.

To check the attachment
and any additional
coupling instructions for
individual attachments,
see the Operator’s
manual of the
corresponding
attachment.
The locking pins must return easily to their locking
position. Do not operate the loader if the coupling
pins do not lock down.
Clean the locking pins when cleaning the loader.
Move the locking pins regularly, even if you do not
change attachments regularly.
The quick coupling plate and its pin on top of it must
not be bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
Make sure that the attachment is locked, if an
attachment is mounted on the quick coupling plate.
Check the operation of the attachment, and position
of the hydraulic hoses of the attachment. Hoses must
not rub against sharp surfaces, or get stretched or
pinned when moving the loader boom and the
attachment. See also the operator's manual of the
attachment, see page 4.
Hydraulic attachment locking:
If your loader is equipped with hydraulic attachment
locking, check that both locking pins move up and
lower down completely by using the switch on the
dashboard. Do not operate the loader if the
attachment locking system pins do not lower down
completely.
Use the hydraulic locking periodically even if you
don't change attachments.
9. Check hydraulic oil level
Check the level of hydraulic oil with the dipstick of
the filler cap. Remove the front panel to access the
filler. Keep the loader boom completely lowered.
Check level of hydraulic oil especially after using a
new attachment that drains hydraulic oil from the
loader as the hydraulic system of the attachment fills
up. Check also if you have noticed a leak of hydraulic
oil.
Oil level should be near the lower marker on the
dipstick (1) when the hydraulic oil is cold.
Tighten the dipstick on its threads for measurement.
Refill when necessary, but never exceed the upper
limit mark (2). Doing so can cause oil to overflow
when lowering the boom.
1.
Target marker. Fill to this
mark when hydraulic
system is cold .
The area highlighted in
the adjacent figure
shows approximately the
acceptable level.
2.
The second mark on the
dipstick indicates max
level of hydraulic oil. Oil
can reach this level
when hydraulic system
is hot .
Never overfill the hydraulic oil tank. Oil can flow over,
or foam inside tank.
There is a breather filter inside the dipstick cap which
must be cleaned or changed once a year.
