Detaching
1. Park the power unit on a level surface and set
the parking brake.
2. Lower the attachment to the ground.
3. Shut off power unit engine.
4. Disconnect the electric actuator plug* from the
socket on the power unit.
5. Move the hydraulic control lever left and right
to release pressure from the auxiliary hydraulic
circuit and disconnect the hydraulic quick cou-
plers* from the power unit. Store hose ends in
the attachment frame holes.
6. Disengage the drive belt tension spring on the
power unit and hook into the spring catch plate (A).
7.
Remove the attachment belt from the PTO drive
pulley of the power unit.
8. Disengage the latch handle lock and rotate the
attachment latch handle back to unlatch from
the lower latch plate on the attachment.
9. Restart the power unit and lower the power unit
hitch to clear the top latch plate on the attach-
ment hitch frame, while slowly backing away
from the attachment.
*Applies only if the attachment is equipped.
Operating Attachments
Refer to the operator's manual for each attachment
for the proper use and operation of the particular
attachment. The operator must read and understand
the operator's manual prior to using an attachment.
Front Hitch
The front hitch is used to secure attachments to the
power unit and to raise and lower the attachment.
The front hitch is controlled by the hydraulic control
lever. Pull the lever back to raise the attachment and
push the lever forward to lower the attachment. Push
the lever forward until the float detent engages and
holds the lever in place to operate in float.
GENERAL OPERATION
A
Operation - 25
Front Auxiliary Couplers
Dirt and other debris in the hydraulic system can
cause damage to the system. Wipe the mating
parts of the couplers clean before coupling
If the attachment requires
auxiliary hydraulics, couple
the attachment hoses with the
front auxiliary couplers. Insert
the end of the attachment
hose into the power unit
coupler and push until it locks
in place.
To disconnect the couplers,
pull back on the collar on the
power unit coupler to release
the attachment hose.
The couplers that the hoses are attached to will
affect the direction the hydraulic control lever is
moved to control the action of the attachment. Con-
nect the hoses and quick couplers so the colored
indicator washers are paired together (red to red,
yellow to yellow).
The auxiliary couplers are controlled by moving the
hydraulic control lever to the left or right.
NOTE: pressure buildup in the attachment hoses
and the power unit couplers may occur, causing
difficult installation of hoses. If hoses do not easily
connect, try one or both of the following steps.
1. To release the pressure from power unit cou-
plers, turn off the engine and move the hydraulic
control lever left and right to release pressure in
the power unit's hydraulic circuit.
2. To release pressure in the attachment hose,
loosen one of the hose ends and retighten after
pressure is released.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid is under high pressure and
can penetrate skin, causing injury. Keep
hands, face, and body away from pinholes
or nozzles that eject hydraulic fluid under
high pressure.
