MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
8. Connect the hydraulic quick couplers from
the attachment to the loader.
Be sure to thread the hoses through the
hose holder on the loader arm, if so
equipped. If no hose holders are installed,
contact the dealer that services your loader
for assistance. Bungee straps can be used
as an alternate method of securing the
hoses.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the quick couplers
are fully engaged. If the quick couplers do
not fully engage, check to see that the
couplers are the same size and brand. Do
not force the quick couplers together.
IMPORTANT:
Wipe the ends of the hydraulic
quick couplers (both lead and loader) with a
rag to remove any possible contamination.
Contamination
can
cause
hydraulic
components to fail and is not covered under
warranty.
NOTE:
Attachment is shipped with 12FJX (1-
1/16” Female JIC Swivel) fittings on the ends
of the lead hoses.
9. Make sure the hoses are properly routed to
fit your specific loader. If the hoses are not
routed correctly, hoses may get pinched or
rub on tires. Be sure to check the hose
routing through the full range of intended
motion of the attachment before operating it.
More than one routing may be acceptable
depending on the loader. Pick the routing
that best suits your loader.
IMPORTANT:
Proper hose routing is the
responsibility of the owner and/or operator.
Pinched or stretched hoses are not covered
under warranty.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the pressurized hose
is routed to the “A” port of the motor valve block.
If it isn’t, the mower will not operate (see page
10). See loader
’s operator’s manual for details
on identifying the pressurized hydraulic coupler.
NOTE:
If you are operating the loader controls
correctly and the mower still does not work, try
switching the hydraulic couplers around on the
mower lead hoses. This will effectively reverse
the flow to the motor.
Mounting is now complete and you are ready to
use the attachment. Use reverse order of above
instructions to dismount the attachment from the
loader.
