maintaining your sand kicker. Parts lists and diagrams along with

of printing, however, we reserve the right to redesign and change the
sand kicker as may be necessary without notification.
Preparing the Vehicle
Your skid-steer must be equipped with a universal quick-tach hitch and
auxiliary hydraulics. read your skid-steer loader operator's manual and
know the limitations of your skid-steer loader, it may require the
addition of a counterweight kit to ensure that the combined weight of
the bucket and the material does not exceed the rated capacity of your
loader.
Note: An easy formula for calculating weight:
Bucket and material = empty bucket 1000 lbs.
Do not use the hopper for mixing. Doing this will result in
extreme premature wear.
Mounting Instructions
After determining the rated capacity of your loader and adding any
counterweight kits that are needed you are ready to install your sand
kicker.
1. Install the bucket by following your skid-steer operators manual for
installing an attachment. Be sure to lock the attachment to the skid-
steer.
2. Connect the hydraulic hoses to the skid-steer auxiliary hydraulics
using the quick couplers.
