Hydraulic couplers, hydraulic lines/valves, and
hydraulic fluid may be hot. If you contact hot
components you may be burned.
• Wear gloves when operating the hydraulic
couplers.
• Allow the traction unit to cool before
touching hydraulic components.
• Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
If the attachment requires hydraulics for operation,
connect the hydraulic hoses as follows:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever forward,
backward, and back to neutral to relieve pressure
at the hydraulic couplers.
3. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever into the reverse
position.
4. Remove the protective covers from the hydraulic
couplers on the traction unit.
5. Ensure that all foreign matter is cleaned from the
hydraulic connectors.
6. Push the attachment male connector into the female
connector on the traction unit (Figure 33).
Figure 33
Note: When you connect the attachment male
connector first, you will relieve any pressure built up
in the attachment.
7. Push the attachment female connector into the male
connector on the traction unit (Figure 34).
8. Confirm that the connection is secure by pulling
on the hoses.
9. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever to neutral.
10. Connect the protective covers of the hydraulic
couplers to each other to ensure the inside of the
covers stay clean when the unit is in use (Figure 35).
Removing an Attachment
1. Lower the attachment to the ground.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Disengage the quick attach pins by turning them
to the outside.
4. If the attachment uses hydraulics, move the auxiliary
hydraulics lever forward, backward, and back to
neutral to relieve pressure at the hydraulic couplers.
5. If the attachment uses hydraulics, slide the collar
back on the hydraulic couplers and disconnect them.
Important: Connect the attachment
hoses together to prevent hydraulic system
contamination during storage.
6. Install the protective covers onto the hydraulic
couplers on the traction unit.
7. Start the engine, tilt the mount plate forward, and
back the traction unit away from the attachment.
