6.4 Attaching / Unhooking
The wood splitter is shipped from the factory in a basic,
universal configuration that allows it to be mounted to any
model skid steer. However, the skid steer must be equipped with
remote hydraulic pressure and return connections on the front of
the cab frame.
The wood splitter should always be set on level, dry ground
free of debris and other foreign objects. When attaching the
Woodsplitter to the skid steer, follow this procedure:
1. Make sure there is enough room and clearance to safely
drive up to the splitter.
2. Align the skid steer face plate to splitter mounting plate.
3. Drive up to the wood splitter and seat the top of the face
plate into the mounting plate of the wood splitter.
4. Raise the loader and tilt the face plate until it is fully seated
in the mounting plate.
5. Ensure the wood splitter mounting plate is securely latched
to skid steer face plate by engaging the lock pins.
6. Clean any dirt from the hose couplers and connect them to
the skid steer connectors. The protective caps on the hoses
are colored to indicate function—red is the pressure line,
blue is return.
7. Route the hoses and secure them to the loader frame to
prevent any pinching or chafing as the loader cycles.
