INSTALLATION
NOTICE! Lubricate all grease fittings before connecting this product to your prime
mover's hydraulic system. Refer to Lubrication section and follow the instructions.
1. Place this product on a firm, level surface that is large enough to safely accommodate
this product, your prime mover and all workers involved in the mounting process.
2. Following all standard safety practices and the instructions for installing an attachment
in your prime mover operator
’s manual, install the attachment onto your loader.
WARNING! To avoid serious personal injury, make sure the attachment is securely
latched to the attachment mechanism of your unit. Failure to do so could
result in separation of the attachment from the prime mover.
3. Relieve any pressure from the auxiliary hydraulic system. After making sure that there
is not any foreign matter on the hydraulic couplers connect the case drain coupler to the
case drain on your skid steer loader. NOTE: The case drain line must be connected first,
then the power and return hoses. When disconnecting the hoses, it is recommended to
disconnect the case drain line last.
4. Connect the power and return couplers to the high flow auxiliary hydraulic system of your
skid steer loader. Route the hoses in such a fashion as to avoid pinching or chafing.
CAUTION! BE SURE CASE DRAIN COUPLER IS COMPLETELY ENGAGED. Immediate
hydraulic motor seal failure and planetary damage will occur if case drain
is not successfully connected.
