Coupling the attachments
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 detach 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.
The attachment is mounted to the loader boom by using the quick attach 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 types.
Make sure that an unlocked attachment will not move or fall over. Do not stay in 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 also the additional instructions for coupling and using of the attachment in
the Operator's Manual of the attachment.
Step 1:
Lift the quick attach plate locking pins 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 locking 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:
Turn the quick attach plate hydraulically to an obliquely forward position.
Drive the loader onto the attachment. If your loader is equipped with a
telescopic boom, you can utilise this.
Align the upper pins of the loader’s quick coupling plate so that they are
under the corresponding brackets of the attachment.
