Connecting the Hydraulic Hoses
If the attachment requires hydraulics for operation,
connect the hydraulic hoses as follows:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever forward,
backward, and back to neutral to relieve pressure at the
hydraulic couplers.
3. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever into the detent
position.
4. Remove the protective covers from the hydraulic
couplers on the traction unit.
5. Ensure that all foreign matter is cleaned from the
hydraulic connectors.
6. Push the attachment male connector into the female
connector on the traction unit.
Note: When you connect the attachment male connector
first, you will relieve any pressure build up in the
attachment.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected
into the skin must be surgically removed within a
few hours by a doctor familiar with this form of
injury or gangrene may result.
• Keep your body and hands away from pin hole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks,
never use your hands.
Warning
Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines/valves, and
hydraulic fluid may be hot. If you contact hot
components you may be burned.
• Wear gloves when operating the hydraulic
couplers.
• Allow the traction unit to cool before touching
hydraulic components.
• Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
Caution
7. Push the attachment female connector onto the male
connector on the traction unit.
8. Confirm that the connection is secure by pulling on the
hoses.
9. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever to neutral.
Removing an Attachment
1. Lower the attachment to the ground
2. Stop the engine.
3. Disengage the quick attach pins by turning them to the
outside.
4. If the attachment uses hydraulics, move the auxiliary
hydraulics lever forward, back and forth, and back to
neutral to relieve pressure at the hydraulic couplers.
