Refer to Figure 1-7:
1. To access skid steer/tractor couplers, route hydraulic
hoses (#1 & #2) through the most convenient path
using hose keeper (A). Path shown may not be the
most convenient.
2. Clean quick connect couplers of dirt and then
connect male and female couplers to the skid steer or
tractor outlets. Make sure quick connect couplers
have fully engaged. If they have not, check the
following:
a. Make sure couplers are same size and type.
b. Make sure hydraulic pressure has been released.
3. Extend and retract hydraulic cylinder with skid steer/
tractor controls. Switch male and female couplers on
the hydraulic hoses if hydraulic cylinders operate the
opposite direction intended and then reconnect
hoses to the skid steer/tractor outlets.
4. For additional help, refer to Hydraulic Hook-Up in
your skid steer/tractor Operator’s Manual.
Clearance Check
It is important to check clearance before putting grapple
into operation. Make sure hoses are long enough and
won’t become pinched or entangled in the equipment.
Also, make sure the grapple does not come in contact
with skid steer/tractor frame and tires by carefully going
through its full range of motions.
1. Visually inspect hydraulic hoses for possible pinch
points and shortness. Make hose adjustments before
putting attachment into service.
2. Start skid steer/tractor and raise grapple
approximately 12" (31 cm) off the ground.
3. If necessary, have someone stand nearby that can
motion for the operator to stop if a problem develops
while completing steps 4-7 below.
4. Fully extend hydraulic cylinders to pivot upper jaws
fully down.
5. Fully extend and retract hydraulic cylinders on end of
loader arms while watching for interferences
between skid steer/tractor and grapple frame. Make
sure hydraulic hoses are long enough and do not
become pinched through the full range of motion.
6. Fully retract hydraulic cylinders to pivot jaws fully up
and repeat step 5.
7. Raise grapple fully up and repeat steps 4-6.
NOTE:
If attaching to a Kubota SVL skid steer, route
hydraulic hoses through Kubota’s SVL Hose Stay
Kit #S6689 as shown in Figure 1-8.
Purchase SVL Hose Stay Kit #S6689 through your
nearest Kubota dealer. Refer to the SVL skid steer
Operator’s Manual for additional instructions.

Purging Hydraulic System
1. With grapple raised off the ground about 12" (31 cm),
cycle the grapple hydraulic cylinders several times
from fully extended to fully retracted.
Refer to Figure 1-2 on page 10:
2. If cylinder operates unevenly after cycling it several
times, then purge the system as follows:
a. Loosen hydraulic hose fittings at rod end of
hydraulic cylinders.
b. Slowly retract and extend hydraulic cylinders to
purge any trapped air from the system.
c. Tighten fittings to hydraulic cylinders once all
trapped air is removed.

IMPORTANT:
Purge hydraulic cylinders and/or
hoses of air before putting the equipment into
service. Not purging the system can cause uneven
cylinder movement and positioning.
