6. Push the attachment male connector into the female
connector on the traction unit.
Note:
When you connect the attachment male
connector first, you will relieve any pressure built up
in the attachment.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected
into the skin must be surgically removed within
a few hours by a doctor familiar with this form
of injury or gangrene may result.
•
Keep your body and hands away from pin
hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
•
Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks, never use your hands.
Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines/valves, and
hydraulic fluid may be hot. If you contact hot
components you may be burned.
•
Wear gloves when operating the hydraulic
couplers.
•
Allow the traction unit to cool before
touching hydraulic components.
•
Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
7. Push the attachment female connector into the
male connector on the traction unit.
8. Confirm that the connection is secure by pulling
on the hoses.
9. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever to neutral.
Removing an Attachment
1. Lower the attachment to the ground.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Disengage the quick attach pins by turning them
to the outside.
4. If the attachment uses hydraulics, move the auxiliary
hydraulics lever forward, backward, and back to
neutral to relieve pressure at the hydraulic couplers.
5. If the attachment uses hydraulics, slide the collar
back on the hydraulic couplers and disconnect them.
Important:
Connect the attachment
hoses together to prevent hydraulic system
contamination during storage.
6. Install the protective covers onto the hydraulic
couplers on the traction unit.
7. Start the engine, tilt the mount plate forward, and
back the traction unit away from the attachment.
Securing the Traction Unit for
Transport
When transporting the traction unit on a trailer, always
use the following procedure:
Important:
Do not operate or drive the traction
unit on roadways.
1. Lower the loader arms.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Secure the traction unit to the trailer with chains or
straps using the tie-down/lift loops (Figure 6) to
secure the rear of the traction unit and the loader
arms/mount plate to secure the front of the traction
unit.
Lifting the Traction Unit
You can lift the traction unit using the tie-down/lift
loops as lift points (Figure 6).
