OPERATING THE LOADER 18
ATTACHING ATTACHMENTS
This quick attach coupler is designed to be used with
Kubota attachments. Non-Kubota attachments, if used,
must comply with ISO 24410, first edition 2005-04-15.
This quick attach coupler allows the operator to change
easily without the use of tools.
To avoid serious personal injury or death:
A
Use of a non-Kubota attachment that does not
comply with ISO 24410 or the improper
positioning of handle(s) or non-protrusion of
pin(s) may result in detachment of the
attachment or deformation, causing loss of
performance, personal injury or death.
A Attachments should be located on a flat, firm surface
when attaching and detaching them from the quick
attach coupler.
1. To mount an attachment, pull the handles of the quick
attach coupler latching pins to the unlatched position.
The quick attach coupler handles must be all the way
up to ensure that the latching pins are fully retracted.
2. Position the tractor squarely in front of the attachment
and tilt the quick attach coupler forward with the bucket
cylinders.
3. Ease the quick attach coupler mounting plate into the
saddle of the attachment.
4. Roll the quick attach coupler back using the bucket
cylinders and raise the boom slightly. The back of the
attachment should rest against the front of the quick
attach coupler mounting plate and the weight of the
attachment should be supported by the loader.
To avoid personal injury or machine damage:
A Raise the boom only enough to latch the
attachment.
The attachment could swing off the quick
attach coupler.
5. When the attachment is properly seated in the saddle
and against the front of the quick attach coupler
mounting plate, turn off the engine and set the parking
brake. Push the quick attach coupler handles to the
fully latched position. Verify both latching pins are
completely engaged in the base of the attachment.
