Fig. 2 BRACKET ALIGNMENT
Quick-Attach Bucket Forks are designed as a
light to moderate duty set of forks that mounts
to the spill plate of the bucket on a loader.
The forks are designed specifically for quick
and easy attaching and detaching. However
the operator has the responsibility of being
familiar with all operating and safety proce-
dures and following them.
Each operator should review this section of the
manual at the start of the season and as often
as required to be familiar with the machine.
When using, follow
this procedure:
1.
Review and follow the
Pre-Operation Checklist.
2.
Attach forks to the bucket:
a. Align the brackets on the
bucket with the rod on the
forks.
b. Dump the bucket completely
and tip it as far forward as
possible.
