Before moving or raising the attachment,
ensure that the locking pins are in the
lower position and come through the
fasteners on both sides. Unlocked
attachment may fall on the boom or
operator and cause injuries.
Do not use the automatic locking of the locking pins at a height of over half a metre. If
the locking pins do not return to the normal position when the front plate is tilted, do not
raise the attachment any more. Lower the attachment on the ground and secure the
locking manually.

Connecting and disconnecting the hydraulic fittings
The three hydraulic fittings of the spreader must all be connected to the corresponding fittings on the loader.
Before connecting or disconnecting the fittings, shut down the loader engine and move the auxiliary
hydraulics lever on the loader to its extreme positions a few times. This way, there is no remaining pressure
in the system and the fittings are easy to connect.
To connect and disconnect the fittings, move the collar at the end of the female fitting. For correct rotating
direction of the spreader, the hoses must be connected to the loader so that the fittings equipped with
coloured caps are connected to each other
Always ensure that all three fittings are properly connected to the corresponding fittings
on the loader. If any of the hoses is not properly connected, the hydraulic motor of the
spreader may be damaged.
Never connect or disconnect quick couplings or other hydraulic components while the
system is under pressure. High-pressure fluid ejection may cause serious injuries.
When removing the attachment, always disconnect the hydraulic fittings before
detaching the quick attach plate, to prevent hose damage and any oil spills. Reinstall
the protective caps on the fittings to prevent impurities from entering the hydraulic
system.
Keep the fittings as clean as possible; use the protective caps for the quick couplings on both the attachment
and the loader. Dirt, ice, etc. may make using the fittings significantly more difficult. Note that the protective
caps on the loader and the attachment can be fastened to each other during operation to reduce the
accumulation of dirt. Never leave the hoses hanging on the ground; place them on top of the equipment.
In a 200-series machine, the hose can be connected by pushing the fitting in the counterpart. When
connecting and disconnecting the 200-series hydraulics quick couplings, you should pay attention to their
locking. The locking prevents the female and male fittings from being disconnected from each other by
accident when the attachment moves. The fitting collar may also turn by accident into the locking position,
making it impossible to connect or disconnect the fittings.
In the 200-series equipment, there is a small groove in the collar of all
female fittings and a small ball below the collar. When the fittings need
to be disconnected, the above-mentioned groove and ball need to be
aligned. Then, the grooved collar of the female fitting is pulled
downwards to disconnect the fittings from each other.
