Operation
Determine the left and right sides of the machine from
the normal operating position.
Installing and Removing
the Attachment
Refer to the Operator's Manual for the traction unit for
the installation and removal procedure.
Important:
Before installing the attachment,
position the machine on a level surface, ensure
that the mount plates are free of any dirt or debris,
and ensure that the pins rotate freely. If the pins
do not rotate freely, grease them.
Note:
Always use the traction unit to lift and move
the attachment.
WARNING
If you do not fully seat the quick-attach
pins through the attachment mount plate,
the attachment could fall off the machine,
crushing you or bystanders.
Ensure that the quick-attach pins are fully
seated in the attachment mount plate.
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; otherwise, gangrene may
result.
• Ensure that all hydraulic-fluid hoses
and lines are in good condition and all
hydraulic connections and fittings are tight
before applying pressure to the hydraulic
system.
• Keep your body and hands away from
pinhole 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 disconnecting the
hydraulic couplers.
• Allow the machine to cool before touching
hydraulic components.
• Do not touch hydraulic fluid spills.
Lifting Objects
Use the attachment to grab and lift heavy objects such
as logs and rocks. Adjust the pressure on the auxiliary
hydraulic controls to change grasping speed.
Important:
Grab objects from the center.
Never lift more than the rated lift capacity of
the attachment as listed on the decals. When
transporting a load, keep it as close to the ground
as possible.
Important:
If you are lifting more delicate or
hollow items, such as crates, close the jaws with
care so as not to crush the item being moved.
Digging/Raking with the
Upper Jaw
1.
Open the jaws all the way and tilt the attachment
forward until the upper jaw teeth touch (or
penetrate) the ground.
2.
Drive the machine rearward. To rake up loose
sticks and other debris, which you can then grab
with the jaws, place the teeth on the ground. To
dig furrows in the earth and break up the sod,
penetrate the ground with the teeth.
Note:
You can also perform this operation
with the jaws closed, because the upper teeth
protrude through the lower jaw
