INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The SPARTAN EQUIPMENT tilt attach installs onto the toolbar/quick-attach mechanism of your
skid steer loader and also attaches to your attachment in the same fashion as a universal quick attach.
Due to this arrangement, thorough knowledge of the skid steer controls is necessary for machine
operation. Read and understand your skid steer operator's manual instructions for attaching and
detaching an attachment.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.
Remove the shipping banding from around the tilt attach and skid.
3. Remove any attachments from the front of the loader.
4.
Following all standard safety practices and the instructions for installing an attachment in your
skid steer operator's manual, install the tilt attach onto your skid steer.
NOTE: It is important to make sure the locking mechanism on your quick attach is en-
gaged, therefore locking the tilt attach onto the skid steer.
4. Lower the loader arms to the ground and remove the key.
5.
Relieve any pressure from the auxiliary hydraulic system and install your hose kit to the elbows
on the top of the tilt attach and to the loader auxiliary hydraulics. If operating an attachment
(such as a bucket) that does not require hydraulics your tilt attach is ready to accept the
attachment.
6. Install the desired attachment to your tilt attach following the attachment manuals rec-
ommendations.
WARNING! ALWAYS CHECK LOCKING MECHANISM (PINS) BEFORE TILTING OR OP-
ERATING ANY ATTACHMENT.
If installing an attachment to your tilt attach that requires auxiliary hydraulics install one of the valve
kit packages.

POSTMASTER VALVE INSTALLATION (Refer to the diagram and parts list in the back of
instructions.)
1.
Install valve mounting bracket to the top of the tilt attach using the .38" hardware supplied.
Secure the valve #2243 to the bracket using the .31" hardware supplied and install the hose
loop to the side of the tilt attach by removing one of the .50" X 1.00"
capscrews from the left side and replacing with the 1.25" capscrew supplied.
Install elbows #3430 to the existing elbows on the tilt attach followed by the 45° end of
the 16.5" hose and the 21" hose. Install straight adapters #62208 to the middle ports of
the valve and connect the 90° ends of the hoses coming from the tilt attach.
Install elbows #3283 to the right side ports in the valve and straight adapters #3324 to the left
ports of the valve.
Remove the power and return hoses from the postmaster and install them into the straight
adapters installed in step #8. Route hoses through the hose loop and up to the
auxiliary hydraulics on the loader.
