Before you install or remove the attachments , turn off the engine and remove the spark plug.
•
For recieving an attachment, both male and female parts of the reciever (on the machine and
the attachment) should be free from dirt and well greased (see fig 8.1)
•
The coupling from the attachment and the reciever of the drive unit must be level to allow
pushing together . For this purpose, parking stands are available and for some attachments ,
the appropriate height can be adjusted.
•
Pluu the locking lever, to lock in the up position.
•
Slide the coupling of the attachment into the reciever on the machine.
•
Fold the locking lever back down and ensure that the pin is fully engaged.

To remove the attachment, carry out the steps above in reverse. Ensure that when the hydraulic
hoses are disconnected, the hoses on the machine are connected together to prevent
contamination.

6 General instructions for load securing and transport
•
Observe the towing capacity of the towing vehichle and the total weight of any trailer!
•
Suitable ramps are to be used with sufficient capacity for loading the machine.
•
The ramps must be secured against slipping.
•
The machine must be secured during transport to prevent rolling.
•
If possible apply the parking brake to the drive wheels.
•
Stop the engine and close the fuel tap.
•
Before unloading the machine, ensure that the space immediately before the ramps is clear of
obstacles, otherwise there is a danger of collision. When unloading several machines, these are
to drive far enough out of the loading zone to avoid becoming obstacles.
