DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking the
attachment. Do not allow anyone to stand between attachment
and power machine while approaching or backing away from
the attachment. Do not operate lift and/or tilt controls while
someone is near the power machine and/or attachment.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Check hitch fit-up frequently. An improper fit-up can cause the
attachment to come loose from the loader hitch plate and fall.
The Snow Pusher is designed to attach to skid steer
loaders and tractor loaders equipped with a universal
quick attach hitch.
1. Shut tractor or skid steer down properly. Refer to
“Power Machine Shutdown Procedure” on this
page.
2. Check for and remove any debris in the hitch point
areas before hooking-up to the Snow Pusher.
3. If needed, pull locking handles up on universal quick
attach hitch until locking pins are fully raised.
4. Return to the tractor/skid steer seat. Start machine
and tilt top of universal quick attach hitch
slightly
forward.
5. Carefully and slowly approach the Snow Pusher
centered on its hitch plate. Make sure the loader
universal quick attach hitch is parallel with the top
angle bar on the Snow Pusher.
6. Place top of universal quick attach hitch under the
Snow Pusher’s top angled bar.
7. Slowly lift universal quick attach hitch up until quick
attach hitch and top angle bar have come together. Do
not raise loader arms higher.
8. Rotate top of universal quick attach hitch back to
align bottom slots in the Snow Pusher hitch plate with
locking pins on the universal quick attach hitch.
9. Shut tractor or skid steer down properly.
10. Push lock handles on the universal quick attach hitch
down until locking pins fully extend through bottom
slots in the Snow Pusher hitch plate. Make sure
locking handles are locked into position to keep pins
from backing out.
