Daily Inspections (Dynamic):
Perform visual daily inspections on/for all of the following items, without the KAT Master Hitch
being engaged to an attachment, the machine's park brake engaged, machine engine rpm at low
idle and, if equipped, the machine's hydraulic safety lever in the on position:
When performing inspections with equipment in a fully operable condition ensure all personnel
and objects are at the O.E.M (Original Equipment Manufacturer) recommended safe working
distance from the operating area of the machine. Conduct all inspections on flat, dry ground
where the equipment and all attachments are properly supported. Failure to comply may result
in property damage or serious injury or death.
1) Manipulate the lift arms/boom and bucket hydraulics to allow for a clear, visual inspection
of the KAT Master Hitch in operation. Check contact points of roll back and dump stops and
Master Hitch range of motion.
2) Fully extend and retract the lock pin cylinder, to ensure they move freely.
3) Repeat this procedure twice prior to engaging any attachment to ensure that the KAT
Master Hitch is functioning properly.
If the KAT Master Hitch is not functioning properly have it checked and repaired by a qualified
service technician before attempting to use the quick coupler or any related attachments.
Failure to comply may result in property damage or serious injury or death.
