(engaged position)
2. Disengaged position
WARNING
If you do not fully seat the quick-attach
pins through the attachment mount plate,
the attachment could fall off the machine,
crushing you or bystanders.
Ensure that the quick-attach pins are fully
seated in the attachment mount plate.
Connecting the Hydraulic Hoses
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate skin and cause injury. Fluid injected into
the skin must be surgically removed within a few
hours by a doctor familiar with this form of injury;
otherwise, gangrene may result.
• Keep your body and hands away from pinhole
leaks or nozzles that eject high-pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks;
never use your hands.

3. Engaged position
CAUTION
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 machine 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. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
2. Move the auxiliary-hydraulics lever forward, backward,
and back to the N
at the hydraulic couplers.
3. Remove the protective covers from the hydraulic
connectors on the machine.
4. Ensure that all foreign matter is cleaned from the
hydraulic connectors.
5. Push the attachment male connector into the female
connector on the machine.
Note: When you connect the attachment male
connector first, you relieve any pressure built up in the
attachment.
6. Push the attachment female connector onto the male
connector on the machine.
7. Confirm that the connection is secure by pulling on
the hoses.
Removing an Attachment
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Lower the attachment to the ground.
3. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
4. Disengage the quick-attach pins by turning them to
the outside.
5. If the attachment uses hydraulics, move the
auxiliary-hydraulics lever forward, backward, and back
to the N
EUTRAL
hydraulic couplers.
6. If the attachment uses hydraulics, slide the collars back
on the hydraulic couplers and disconnect them.
Important: Connect the attachment hoses
together to prevent hydraulic system contamination
during storage.
7. Install the protective covers onto the hydraulic couplers
on the machine.
8. Start the engine, tilt the mount plate forward, and back
the machine away from the attachment.
