1. Quick attach pins (shown
in 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 of the traction unit,
crushing you or bystanders.
Ensure that your quick attach pins are fully
seated in the attachment mount plate.
Connecting the Hydraulic Hoses
If the attachment requires hydraulics for operation, connect
the hydraulic hoses as follows:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever forward, backward,
and back to neutral to relieve pressure at the hydraulic
couplers.
3. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever into the reverse
position.
4. Remove the protective covers from the hydraulic
couplers on the traction unit.
5. Ensure that all foreign matter is cleaned from the
hydraulic connectors.
6. Push the attachment male connector into the female
connector on the traction unit.

3. Engaged position
Note: When you connect the attachment male
connector first, you will relieve any pressure built up in
the attachment.
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 or gangrene may result.
• Keep your body and hands away from
pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject high
pressure hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic
leaks, never use your hands.
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 traction unit to cool before
touching hydraulic components.
• Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
7. Push the attachment female connector into the male
connector on the traction unit.
8. Confirm that the connection is secure by pulling on
the hoses.
9. Move the auxiliary hydraulics lever to neutral.
Removing an Attachment
1. Lower the attachment to the ground.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Disengage the quick attach pins by turning them to
the outside.
4. If the attachment uses hydraulics, move the auxiliary
hydraulics lever forward, backward, and back to neutral
to relieve pressure at the hydraulic couplers.
5. If the attachment uses hydraulics, slide the collar back
on the hydraulic couplers and disconnect them.
Important: Connect the attachment
hoses together to prevent hydraulic system
contamination during storage.
6. Install the protective covers onto the hydraulic couplers
on the traction unit.
7. Start the engine, tilt the mount plate forward, and back
the traction unit away from the attachment.
