Check Equipment Clearances
Refer to Figure 1-3 on page 12:
DANGER
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
Keep attachment and/or loader arms away from overhead
electrical power lines. Place an orange warning sign under
overhead lines indicating type of danger above.
WARNING
!
To prevent 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.
It is important to check clearance between the bucket
and tractor by carefully going through the bucket’s full
range of motions before putting it into operation.
1. Before starting the skid steer, check hitch hook-up.
The attachment can fall from the loader hitch plate if
not properly connected.
a. Make sure loader hitch is fully seated under the
bucket’s top angle bar.
b. Make sure loader hitch plate is against the bucket
hitch plate.
c. Make sure lock handles are locked with lock pins
fully seated in the bottom slots.
d. Make sure there are no structural cracks in the
hitch plates. Structural cracks weaken the hitch
plate and can result in dropping the attachment.
e. Make sure there are no bent plates preventing full
and complete hook-up to the loader hitch plate.
2. Visually inspect hydraulic hoses. Make sure hoses
are long enough and won’t become pinched, kinked,
stretched, or entangled in the equipment. Make hose
adjustments before putting equipment into service.
3. If necessary, have someone stand safely nearby that
can motion for the operator to stop if a problem
develops while completing steps 6-9 below.
4. Watch for interferences between tractor, front
mounted loader, and bucket. Make sure hydraulic
hoses are long enough and do not become pinched,
kinked, or stretched through the full range of motion.
5. Start tractor and raise bucket approximately
36" (1 m) off the ground.
6. Fully retract hydraulic cylinders (#4) to pivot jaw fully
open.
7. Rotate top of loader hitch plate fully forward and
lower loader arms all the way down. Continue
checking by raising the loader arms fully up.
8. With loader arms fully up, rotate top of loader hitch
plate fully back and lower loader arms fully down.
9. Raise bucket approximately 36" (1 m) off the ground
and fully extend hydraulic cylinders (#4) to pivot jaw
fully closed. Repeat steps 7-8.
Unhook Bucket
Refer to Figure 1-3 on page 12:
DANGER
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists when 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 hydraulic controls while
someone is near the power machine and/or attachment.
WARNING
!
To prevent serious injury or death:
•
Store attachment in a secure position on solid, level ground
with front jaw fully closed. If stored improperly, the
attachment can easily tip over onto a person.
•
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure will penetrate the skin
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. If an accident occurs, seek
immediate emergency medical care or gangrene may result.
DO NOT DELAY.
•
Shut power machine down and release all hydraulic
pressure to the equipment before connecting or
disconnecting hydraulic hoses to or from the power
machine.
1. See “Long-Term Storage” on page 21 if parking
bucket for long periods and at end of season.
2. Park tractor and bucket on a flat, level, solid surface.
3. Fully close bucket jaw.
4. Rotate front loader hitch plate to vertical position and
lower loader arms until bucket is resting on the ground.
5. Shut tractor down before dismounting. Refer to
“Tractor Shutdown Procedure”
on page 9.
6. Operate hydraulic control lever/buttons back and
forth to release hydraulic system pressure.
7. Disconnect bucket mounted hydraulic hoses from the
tractor or loader. Store hoses on the bucket.
8. Pull lock handles on the loader hitch plate up to
remove lock pins from the bottom slots in the bucket
hitch plate.
9. Return to the tractor, start engine, and tilt top of
loader hitch plate slightly forward to move the bottom
of the loader hitch plate away from the bucket hitch
plate.
10. Slowly lower loader arms until the loader hitch plate
has separated from the attachment’s top angle bars.
11. Back tractor slowly away from the bucket while
making sure the tractor and loader arms do not
interfere with the bucket or hydraulic hoses attached
to the bucket.
