Implement Hook-Up
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking
with a Quick Hitch. Do not allow anyone to stand between
implement and power machine while approaching or backing
away from the implement. Do not operate lift and/or tilt
controls while someone is near the power machine and/or
implement.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands
when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this type of
injury must treat the injury within a few hours or gangrene
may result. DO NOT DELAY.
CAUTION
!
To avoid serious injury:
Release Handles have areas where pinching can occur. Keep
hands, fingers and other body parts away from pivoting areas
of the release handles. Always use handle grips.
IMPORTANT: Make certain implement’s top
3-point hitch pin is captured by the Quick Hitch top
3-point hook.
NOTE: Quick Hitch hook-up to the skid steer is
required before implement hook-up.

Refer to Figure 1-1
Determine hitch category of implement being hooked up.
•
Category I hitches will have 7/8” diameter lower hitch
pins and a 3/4” diameter upper hitch pin.
•
Category II hitches will have 1 1/8” diameter lower
hitch pins and a 1” diameter upper hitch pin.
Remove 1/2” x 3” positioning pins to reposition lower
3-point hooks on the Quick Hitch. Move hooks to the
inward positions if implement is a Category 1 hitch and to
the outward positions if implement is a Category II hitch.
Replace 1/2” x 3” positioning pins and secure with cotter
hair pins.
Refer to Figure 1-3
1. Two 320-048D lower bushings are shipped wire tied
to Kubota Skid Steer Quick Hitch. Place bushings
over implement’s lower 7/8” hitch pins. This will
provide a tighter and more secure mounting in the
two lower Quick Hitch hooks. Do not use bushings
when hitching to a Category II implement.
2. Make certain implement’s upper and lower hitch pins
are secured.
3. Place Quick Hitch release handles in the down
position as shown.
4. With arms of the skid steer loader lowered, carefully
move loader up to (Cat. I or Cat. II) implement to align
its upper and lower support hooks with implement’s
3-point hitch pins.
5. Slowly raise skid steer loader lift arms until lower
Quick Hitch hooks lock over implement’s 3-point
hitch pins.
