7 – Attaching the implement to the loader
Attaching the implement to the loader is quick and easy, but it must be done carefully. The
implement is mounted to the loader boom by using the quick attach plate and the counterpart on the
implement. If the implement is not locked to the loader, it may detach from the loader and cause a
hazardous situation. In the worst case, the implement may slide onto the driver along the raised
loader boom. For this reason, the loader boom must under no circumstances be raised over one
metre when the implement has not been locked. To prevent hazardous situations, always follow the
implement mounting instructions provided in the following pages. Also remember the safety
instructions shown in Chapter 5. The implement is mounted to the loader as follows:
Make sure that the implement will stay still and will not tip over. Attach or remove the
implement only on level ground.
Keep all couplings as clean as possible; use the protective caps on both the implement and the
loader. Dirt, ice, etc. may make using the fittings significantly more difficult. Never leave the hoses
hanging on the ground; place the multiconnector onto its holder.
STEP 1 (Fig. 13)
• Lift the quick attach plate locking pin / locking pins up and turn them backwards into the slot so
that they are locked in the upper position.
• Concerning the hydraulic hose connections see paragraph 8 on page 20.
• Ensure that the hydraulic hoses are not in the way during installation.
STEP 2 (Fig. 14)
• Turn the quick attach plate hydraulically to an obliquely forward position.
• Drive the loader onto the implement. If your loader is equipped with a telescopic boom, you can
utilise this. Align the upper pins of the loader's quick coupling plate so that they are under the
corresponding brackets of the implement.
STEP 3 (Fig. 15)
• Lift the boom slightly – pull the boom control lever backward to raise the implement off the
ground.
• Turn the boom control lever left to turn the bottom section of the quick attach plate onto the
implement.
• Lock the locking pins manually or lock the hydraulic locking.
• Always check the locking of pin / pins.
An implement that has not been
completely locked to the loader may
fall on the boom or operator, or under
the loader during driving, causing
loss of control of the loader. Before
moving or lifting the implement, make
sure that the locking pins are in the
lower position and come through the
fasteners on the implement on both
sides.
Never
implement that has not been locked.
Excessive tilting or lifting of an unlocked implement increases the risk of tipping the
implement over. Do not use the automatic locking of the locking pins when the implement
is lifted more than one metre from the ground. If the locking pins do not return to the
normal position when tilting, do not tilt or raise the implement any more. Lower the
implement on the ground and secure the locking manually.
