Releasing A Load
1. Be sure to read and understand all safety alerts
under
“Operating Safety” on page 14.
2. Stop in front of desired location.
3. Slowly raise load to required height and move
forward slowly checking to make sure grapple and
load clears all obstacles.
4. Stop forward movement when load is positioned over
its release location.
5. Releasing load requires a combination of tilting front
of grapple down, raising upper jaws, and raising
loader arms. The order in which the load is released
will vary depending on type of material being
released. The most important objective is to have the
load under control throughout the release.
6. Once load has settled onto the pile, slowly back up
making sure grapple clears all objects and there are
not any pedestrians or other traffic behind or on
either side.
7. Leave enough clearance when turning and/or
lowering grapple to avoid contact with obstacles such
as vehicles, buildings, trees, fences, etc.
8. Lower grapple to transporting height (low to the
ground) before moving again.

Refer to Figure 2-1:
1. See “Long-Term Storage” on page 19 if parking
grapple for long periods and end of season.
2. Park skid steer/tractor on a flat, level, solid surface
and lower grapple onto the surface.
3. Place transmission in park, set park brake, shut
power equipment off, and remove switch key.
4. With grapple resting on the ground, release all
hydraulic system pressures before disconnecting
hydraulic hoses from skid steer or tractor as follows:
Skid Steer
See Skid Steer Operator’s Manual for instructions on
how to release all hydraulic system pressures.
Tractor
Operate all hydraulic control levers back and forth to
release all hydraulic system pressures.
5. Disconnect hydraulic hoses (#10 & #11) from skid
steer/tractor and store hoses on the grapple.
6. Pull lock handles up to remove pins from bottom slots
in hitch plate.
7. Return to skid steer/tractor
and t
