The hydraulic quick couplers are located in the middle of the H-cylinder between the locking plungers. Models OQ 70/55 and OQ 80 can be fitted with two 1/2", two 3/4" and two 1" quick couplings. A dirt guard (5) prevents the quick couplers from becoming dirty. It is opened automatically when the H-cylinder is at the front position (4:1) and closed automatically at the H-cylinder's rear position (4:2). -
