4.10 Attachment Compatibility
There are many things to consider when determining if an attachment is compati-
ble with your RT-40 Compact Track Loader (CTL). The following criteria must be
met in order for an attachment to be considered compatible.
A compatible attachment must:
• Be designed for use with the RT-40 CTL quick attach system. It must
mate and attach securely to the machine using the supplied quick attach and
locking pins (see sections 5.9-5.10).
• Not cause the machine to operate in excess of the GVW rating at any time
during use. This includes any loads that may be carried or forces that may be
applied to the attachment or by the attachment (chapter 3).
• Not cause the machine to operate in excess of the rated operating capacity at
any time during use. This includes any loads that may be carried or forces that
may be applied to the attachment or by the attachment (chapter 3).
• Have a matching electrical attachment receptacle (If electrical actuation is
required) and not require electrical input in excess of the 20 amp max supplied
by the machine (section 4.6).
• Have matching auxiliary hydraulic quick couplers and components that
are designed to operate within the range of pressures and flows supplied by
the CTL auxiliary hydraulic system (chapter 3).
• Not detrimentally impact machine stability during operation.
• Be designed for use with a machine of this size, weight and capability and in
line with the intended use of the machine (see introduction) taking into
consideration: GVW, Operating Capacity, ROPS/FOPS rating, Engine HP,
Electrical and or hydraulic input requirements.
• Be used in conjunction with any necessary auxiliary equipment or PPE
required to maintain the safety of the operator and any bystanders during use
(example: reinforced polycarbonate door and full cab package for use when
brush cutting).
Note: The operator must follow the operating instructions (manuals) for any exter-
nally supplied components or attachments.
If the attachment you intend to use does not meet the above criteria, it is not
considered a “compatible” attachment and should not be used.
