Detaching Attachments - Kubota SSV65 Operator's Manual

5. When the attachment is properly seated in the saddle
and against the front of the quick-hitch mounting plate,
push and hold the hydraulic quick-hitch switch in
locked position until the levers are fully in locked
position. Verify both lock pins are completely engaged
in the base of the attachment.
(1) Quick-hitch lever
6. With an attachment in place, lift the lift arms and empty
out the bucket. Tilt the bucket downwards and verify
the lock pins are fully engaged.
To avoid personal injury or death:
A The following engagement points are critical.
1) The lock pins of the quick-hitch have to
protrude into and through the pin slots of
the attachment on both sides.
It is critical that the pins are in good
condition and without visible signs of wear
or damage and that the operator align the
quick-hitch with the attachment to allow
the pins to go through the pin slots.
2) Both levers have to be pushed down until
the levers contact the ear plates near the
points where the pin bolt goes through the
lever (A).
3) Do not operate the machine or attachment
unless all of the above conditions are met.
(A) "LOCK"

7. Visually verify when pushing the quick-hitch levers into
locked position that the lock pins protrude through the
slot.
8. When attaching different attachments visually inspect
for broken or damaged pins. If broken or damaged
pins are found, replace before using. Use of broken
pins may result in detachment or deformation, causing
loss of performance, personal injury or death.
9. You are now ready to use the attachment.
To avoid personal injury, death or
damage:
A Never operate or transport attachments which
are not attached completely.
A Always replace
immediately.
BDetaching Attachments
1. Lower the attachment to ground level with the
attachment slightly in the rolled back position. Stop the
engine. (The parking brake automatically engages.)
2. Disconnect the attachment's electrical harness and
hydraulic lines from the lift arms if equipped.
3. Start the engine and push the hydraulic quick-hitch
switch in "UNLOCKED" position. Hold it to make sure
the quick-hitch levers are up.
4. While sitting in the operator's seat, slowly move the
bucket operating device to the "DUMP" position until
the attachment is pushed away from the quick-hitch.
5. Lower the lift arms so that the quick-hitch mounting
plate clears the attachment saddle.
6. Back away from the attachment slowly.
