Skid Steer Hook-Up
!
DANGER
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin.
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 hydraulic leaks. If
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin or eyes, it must be
treated by a doctor familiar with this type of injury within a
few hours or gangrene may result. DO NOT DELAY.
Refer to Figure 1-3:
!
CAUTION
Do not stand between the skid steer loader and implement
during hookup.
1.
Drive the skid steer slowly to the Powered Rake
making sure the front hitch plate of the skid steer is
parallel with the Powered Rake hitch.
2.
Tilt the top of the skid steer hitch plate slightly
forward.
3.
Place the skid steer’s hitch plate top under the top
angled bar of the Powered Rake.
4.
Slowly lift the skid steer’s hitch until the Powered
Rake’s hitch and the skid steer’s top angle bar have
come together.
5.
Push lock handles of the skid steer down so that the
pins go through the bottom slots of the Powered
Rake’s hitch and the handles lock down.
6.
Connect hydraulic hoses on Powered Rake to the
skid steer loader.

DANGER
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin.
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 hydraulic leaks. If
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin or eyes, it must be
treated by a doctor familiar with this type of injury within a
few hours or gangrene may result. DO NOT DELAY.
!
DANGER
Make sure hydraulic hoses are properly routed without twists
to prevent becoming pinched or kinked while operating.
A pinched or kinked hose can burst and leak hydraulic fluid.
7.
See your Skid Steer Operator’s Manual to determine
which coupler on your unit is under pressure when
unit is locked in continuous operation. If coupling (#4)
does not mate with your unit’s coupling that is under
pressure, then switch couplings (#3) and (#4) on
lines (#2A & 2B).
8.
Make certain both couplings (#3 & #4) are screwed
on tight. Connect couplings to the skid steer high
pressure outlets.
9.
Hydraulic hoses will be zip tied together after
installation of wiring harness. Continue with
“Electrical Hook-up With Eyelets” on page 12.

NOTE: The preferred hose connections will allow
continues hydraulic flow for raking. Line (#2B) is the
pressure line for raking. Therefore, attach line (2B)
to the skid steer hydraulic line that is pressurized
when controls are locked for continuous operation
(continuous hydraulic flow).
