ATTACHING & DETACHING
Different skid steer loaders have different attachment systems, consult the manufacturer’s manual for
specifics on attachment procedures. The skid steer must be able to meet the required amount of hydraulic
oil (see HYDRAULIC SECTION). The stump grinder attaches to the front of any skid steer that accepts a
universal quick attachment plate. The quick attach locks secure the stump grinder onto the front end of the
skid steer. It is important that the stump grinder is properly in place and locked. Failure to do this could result
in the stump grinder becoming detached from the skid steer, causing damage to the unit, skid steer, and
potentially causing injury to the operator and others in the area.
The stump grinder operates off the skid steer existing hydraulic system. Locate the hydraulic line couplers,
clean the hydraulic quick couplers, and attach the stump grinder’s hydraulic hoses. Follow proper safety
procedures when coupling the hydraulic hoses. Failure to do this could result in serious injury or death to the
operator.
The stump grinder does not come with quick coupler attachments, and the operator should install quick
coupler fittings appropriate for the skid steer. The quick coupler fittings can be purchased from Bandit Industries,
Inc. if the required sizes are available. Refer to the skid steer manufacturer’s manual for the proper procedures
for attaching and detaching hydraulic hoses.
