!
To avoid serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists while hooking-up and unhooking the
attachment. Do not allow anyone to stand between attachment
and power machine while approaching or backing away from
the attachment. Do not operate lift and/or tilt controls while
someone is near the power machine and/or attachment.
1.
Make sure hydraulic hoses and height adjustment
safety chain do not interfere with hitch hook-up.
2. Drive skid steer slowly to the Skid Cutter making sure
the front hitch plate of the skid steer is parallel with
the Skid Cutter hitch.
3. Tilt top of skid steer hitch plate slightly forward.
4. Place top of skid steer hitch plate directly under the
Skid Cutter top angle bar.
5. Slowly lift skid steer hitch until it fully contacts the
Skid Cutter top angle bar.
6. Slowly rotate skid steer hitch plate back.
7.
Engage skid steer lock handles. Make sure the pins
go through the bottom slots of the Skid Cutter’s hitch
and the handles lock down.
NOTE:
If the skid steer is not equipped with
hydraulic lock handles, the skid steer must be shut
down and lock handles must be manually engaged.
