Fitting the Processor to the Skid Steer
1) Engage the upper portion of the skid steer’s quick-attach mount, and then
rotate the mount into position against the processor’s main mounting plate.
2) Lock the pins or wedges to secure the processor to the skid steer mount.
Make sure the locks, pins or wedges are fully engaged into the slots on the
processor mount. WARNING! If you need to raise the boom to check that
the locks are engaged, observe from a safe distance. DO NOT
underneath a suspended processor.
3) Rotate the processor fully forward until the feet on the processor’s forks
rest flat on the ground. If the skid steer’s bucket dump angle will not allow the
feet to rest flat, contact your dealer.
4) SLOWLY rotate the processor fully back to ensure it does not come into
contact with the skid steer or its boom houses and wiring.
5) Lower the processor and detach from the quick-attach mount to allow
easier access to the skid steer cab while installing the wiring.

Installing HWP Wiring Harness – Optional
The wiring control system for the processor consists of wires and a harness
assembly with two 3 button control pads, power lead and ground lead fitted with
a fused and switched power port plug along with 22 feet of cable. (See page 11.)
This assembly must be routed from the cab to the front of the skid steer’s left
boom. The push button mounts are labeled “L” for left and “R” for right. These
should be attached to the front side of the skid steer’s joy sticks with a 3/16” wire
or cable ties passed through the holes provided in the mounts. Each mount
should be placed with its cable running to the inside, toward the seat and the
buttons should face the door. Wire or Cable ties should be used to secure the
wires to the loaders joysticks to prevent rubbing and flexing at the point where
the wires enter the mount. It is recommended that you avoid flexing the cables at
any point along the length of the wires. Gradual, large radius bends are
preferred.
The 22 foot cable should be routed to the front of the boom just behind the quick
coupler area. In most cases, the cable is best routed by raising the skid steer
cab. When installing the cable, avoid any sharp edges or corners which may
damage it. Find a protected location for the 8 pin plastic plug behind the quick
couplers to protect it from damage when other attachments are being used on
the skid steer. Route the cable so it will not be damaged as the boom is moved
through the full range of motion. This typically means routing the cable as close
to the boom pivot pins as possible. We recommend large wire cable ties for this.
Plug the fused plug into the power port. If the skid steer does not have a power
port, one must be installed to accommodate the fused and switched power plug
provided.
