Attaching to Power Unit
Note: When you ordered your BrushHound product,
details about your Power Unit were provided to
custom match your Attachment to your Power Unit.
While BrushHound products can be attached to a
variety of different skid steers and track loaders,
your Attachment is specifically configured for your
Power Unit and can not necessarily be placed on
another Power Unit as is. Specifically, the hydraulic
motor and pulleys were selected to optimize
performance based on your hydraulic system. Your
Attachment should only be connected to Power Units
that share the same specifications as the
information on the Power Unit you provided. To
connect your Attachment to another Power Unit,
contact your nearest BrushHound Dealer.
The person that is attaching your BrushHound
product should be familiar with the attachment and
removal of regular buckets from a skid steer or track
loader and be able to do so safely. Attachment
should be performed on flat ground away from
obstructions. During attachment, keep hands out of
pinch points and away from the blades to avoid
injury and ensure hoses are clear of mounting plate:
1) Line the mount on the Power Unit up with the
Universal Skid Steer Mount on the Attachment.
2) Lower the mount on the Power Unit and tilt
forward so it can scoop up under the top lip of
the Attachment
’ s mounting plate.
3) Slowly move Power Unit forward until it taps
against the mounting plates, lift up slightly to
lock into the lip.
4) Check bottom portion of mount to ensure flush
mounting between Power Unit and Attachment.
Once flush, lower the locking mechanism on the
Power Unit making sure it has fully engaged.
5) Connect hydraulic hoses to Power Unit.
Removal
To remove the Attachment from the Power Unit:
1) Find a suitable, flat location to leave the
Attachment where it will not fall over.
2) Make sure the auxiliary hydraulic circuit is off
and lower the Attachment all the way to the
ground. Both the front and rear of the
Attachment should be resting on the ground.
3) Wait for drum to stop rotating and hydraulic
system to depressurize before approaching
Attachment.
4) Unlock the locking devices on the Power Unit ’ s
mount.
5) Lift arm to remove it from the Attachment.
