MDP Operation & Maintenance Manual | 7
INSTALLATION
Use only approved rigging hardware rated for loads 
greater than the weight of MDP. Hooking Points are 
for moving the attachment only. Do not lift other 
objects or use MDP in a cable-hung application.
1.  Locate at, hard ground (e.g., concrete oor) for 
installation. Lift and place the attachment on the 
ground using the Hooking Points shown in Figure 8. 
Use blocking if necessary.
2.  Remove the excavator bucket. Follow the 
manufacturer’s recommended procedure.
Note: Plug hydraulic hoses to prevent contamination.
THIRD MEMBER INSTALLATION
Note: Ensure the stick and linkage pin 
are installed properly. Do not install MDP 
backwards.
3.  Remove the arm connection and link 
connection pins, as shown in Figure 9.
4.  Bring the excavator into position, carefully 
lining up the stick tip with the MDP mounting 
bracket. Pin the stick tip to the MDP mounting 
bracket using the pin provided (see Figure 
10).
5.  Carefully extend the bucket cylinder to move 
the bucket linkage. Position the link into the 
mounting bracket linkage connection. 
Note: It may be necessary to use a lifting 
device (overhead hoist, forklift, etc.) to position 
the link.
6.  Pin the linkage connection to the MDP 
bracket.
