SECOND MEMBER INSTALLATION
1.  Pin the excavator boom and attachment boom pivot together using the same pin that was used for pinning on the 
stick.
2.  Clear all personnel and instruct the operator to slowly lift the attachment so there will be enough clearance to pin 
the excavator cylinder to the cylinder connection on the mounting bracket.
3.  Extend the cylinder rod and connect the cylinder connection. Install the pin provided with the mounting bracket.
Note: It may be necessary to use a lifting device (overhead hoist, forklift,etc.) to position the cylinder.
4.  Remove the Transport Pin
HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION
Read the hydraulic letter provided by LaBounty before the arrival of the attachment. This letter states the hydraulic 
requirements for the specic attachment.
DO NOT connect hydraulic lines while they are pressurized.

1.  Connect the hydraulic hoses to the connections located on each side of the upper head.
Note: Each port is labeled, on the MDP itself, so users can easily identify the cylinder ports, rotation ports and 
case drains.
2.  After installing the hydraulic circuit on the base machine, install additional hydraulic lines up the boom, if required.
•  Two 1/2 in (13 mm) diameter feed line
•  One 1/2 inch (13 mm) diameter case drain line
Note: These lines will terminate at the end of the boom.
3.  Install jump lines from these hydraulic lines to the attachment bulkhead or manifold ttings.
4.  Torque all ange bolts and nuts using the table below.
