Check Attachment and Coupler Installation
When changing buckets or installing attachments follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for proper maintenance
and coupling. Make sure all connectors are securely
fastened. Tighten all bolts, nuts and screws to torques
recommended.
Check the attachment coupler and the attachment
for wear and hydraulic leaks before coupling the
attachment to the machine.
Check to be sure that the coupler pins or wedges are
fully engaged into the attachment and that the coupler is
securely engaged to the attachment both mechanically
and hydraulically before operating.
WARNING! Avoid possible crushing injury. Failure
to properly secure the attachment to the machine
coupler can allow the attachment to come off and
could result in death or serious injury.
