Operating the
minicor-2™
Coring Attachment
Step 1: Attaching the
minicor-2™
(1)
Position the skid-steer behind the
minicor-2™
, and slowly raise the
Quick Attach or Bob-Tach™ locking arms into the recessed area on the
minicor-2™
. Once in place, secure the coring unit to the skid-steer by
locking the arms on the Quick Attach system. Please refer to the
attachment guide that comes with the Quick Attach system on your
skid-steer, as failure to achieve proper coupling may result in damage
to the coring attachment and/or injury to the operator.
(2)
Attach the flat face quick-connect hydraulic couplers from the skid-
steers auxiliary hydraulic system to the quick-connect couplers on the
coring unit. If the quick connect couplers on the coring unit are not the
proper configuration, contact Utilicor directly before proceeding.
Do
not use high flow connection
. This will result in blown seals on the
hydraulic motors.
(3)
If there is any back pressure in the hydraulic system on the
minicor-2™
or skid-steer, engaging the quick connect hydraulic couplers may be
difficult. Refer to the operation manual of your skid-steer to determine
how to de-energize the hydraulic pressure in the auxiliary lines. (If the
pressure was not released from the pressure hose before the unit was
disconnected you will have to loosen the hydraulic fitting on the hose
and bleed off some oil to relieve the pressure in the line.)
(4)
A 12-volt power supply for the water pump is required. The
minicor-2™
coring attachment comes with a two pronged wire leading from the
back of the attachment. The easiest place to plug this in is the cigarette
lighter if your unit is equipped with one. A cigarette lighter adaptor
piece will be required, and is not supplied, but can be easily obtained
at any automotive store. The other alternative is to run power off one
of the front lights of the skid-steer, as long as the light will not be
required for night use. Contact Utilicor if you do not have the correct
connection pins to safely accomplish this.
