OPERATION OF THE MACHINE 38
MECHANICAL QUICK-HITCH
B
Attaching Attachments
This machine utilizes a quick-hitch for easy connection
and disconnection of various attachments.
By replacing the front attachments, this machine can be
used in agriculture, raising stock, landscaping, gardening
and snow removal as well as general civil engineering and
construction work.
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
Use of attachments that do not comply with
ISO24410 or the improper positioning of
lever(s) or non-protrusion of pin(s) may result
in detachment of the attachment or
deformation, causing loss of performance,
personal injury or death.
To avoid personal injury or death:
A
After performing these procedures, make sure
the attachment is securely attached to the
quick-hitch, or the attachment may become
detached.
A
Before handling the control lever, you should
set the quick-hitch lever to the "UNLOCKED"
position and the parking brake switch to the
parked position, ensuring the lift arm is
lowered and all control levers and pedal are in
their neutral positions.
A
Attachments should be located on a level, firm surface
when attaching and detaching them from the quick-
hitch.
1. To mount an attachment, pull the levers of the quick-
hitch lock pins to the "UNLOCKED" position. The
quick-hitch levers must be all the way up to ensure that
the lock pins are fully retracted.
2. Position the machine squarely in front of the
attachment and tilt the quick-hitch forward with the tilt
cylinders.
3. Ease the quick-hitch mounting plate into the saddle of
the attachment.
4. Roll the quick-hitch back using the tilt cylinders and
raise the lift arms slightly. The back of the attachment
should rest against the front of the quick-hitch
mounting plate and the weight of the attachment
should be supported by the lift arms.
