Coupling the attachments
The attachment is mounted to the loader boom by using the quick coupling plate on the loader boom and the
counterpart on the attachment. As standard, the attachment is coupled with two manually operated locking pins of
the coupling plate. As an option, hydraulic coupling pins are available, which are controlled with an electric switch.
The following steps show the coupling procedure regardless of the type of coupling.
Attaching the attachment to the loader is quick and easy, but it must be done carefully. If the attachment is not
locked to the loader, it may fall from the loader and cause a hazardous situation. The loader must not be driven
and the boom must never be lifted when the attachment has not been locked. To prevent hazardous situations,
always follow the coupling procedure shown below. Also remember the safety instructions shown in this manual.
DANGER
Risk of crushing -
Make sure that an unlocked attachment will not move or fall
over.
Do not go to the area between the attachment and the loader. Mount the
attachment only on level surface. Never move or lift an attachment that has not been
locked.
Always read als
o the additional instructions for coupling and using of the
attachment in the Operator's Manual of the attachment.
The coupling procedure of an
attachment may require additional steps in addition to the basic steps described below.
Always follow instructions in the Operator's manual of the attachment.
Step 1:

Lift the locking pins of the quick coupling plate up and turn them backwards
into the slot so that they are locked in the upper position.
If your loader is equipped with a hydraulic attachment l
ocking system, see
how to operate the hydraulic locking on the following page.

Ensure that the hydraulic hoses (and the electric harness, if applicable) are
not in the way during installation.
Step 2:

Enter the driver's seat, fasten the seat belt, s
tart the loader, and tilt the
quick coupling plate forward.

Drive the loader onto the attachment. If your loader is equipped with a
telescopic boom, you can use it to reach the coupling brackets of the
attachment.

Align the upper pins of the loader’s quick
coupling plate so that they are
under the corresponding brackets of the attachment.
