OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating manual controls
NOTE:
The tree spade with manual controls is
designed for use on a skid steer without a door.
If your skid steer is equipped with a cab door,
remove door before use with manual tree
spade controls.
1. With the operator in the seat of the loader,
the seat belt fastened and the seat bar
lowered (if so equipped), start the engine.
2. Raise the attachment slightly off the ground.
3. Engage the auxiliary hydraulics in continuous
flow. Using the levers on the valve, the tree
spade can be operated as detailed below.
NOTE:
The loader should be run at about
half-throttle when operating the tree spade.
Operating the tree spade while the loader is at
full throttle may overload the valve and cause
the attachment to function improperly.
NOTE:
Controls are listed from left to right on
valve block while sitting in the operator’s seat.
