When Connecting an Attachment to the Loader Quick Hitch
1. Be sure both quick hitch pin levers are in the unlocked position, with the levers pointing up. Tilt the loader
quick hitch forward, drive the loader into the attachment bracket and engage top of the quick hitch into the
top of the attachment bracket.
2. Raise the loader slightly and rotate the top of the quick hitch back toward the operator until the bottom of
the attachment is seated firmly in the bottom of the quick hitch.
3. Rotate the quick hitch pin levers down 90
degrees to the locked position. You should feel
a firm resistance when locking the levers down.
The tapered pins must extend through the slots
in the bottom of the attachment bracket. The
tapered side of the pins must be firmly wedged
against the surface of the slot at the bottom of
the attachment bracket. If the pins are not
wedged securely in place, the attachment may
fall off resulting in possible severe crushing
injury or death to the operator or bystander.
4. Raise the loader and attachment to shoulder
height. By standing at the side of the loader,
inspect the connection between the quick hitch
and attachment.
Never walk or work under or allow any person to be underneath a raised
loader or attachment.
• Examine the fit between the quick hitch and the
bottom of the attachment bracket. The pins must
extend through the slots in the bottom of the
attachment bracket. The tapered side of each pin
must be firmly wedged against the surface of the
slot on the bottom of the attachment bracket. The
attachment bracket should fit snugly against the
bottom of the loader bracket. If there is a gap of
more than 1/8” or if the pins are not firmly seated do
not use the attachment. Contact your dealer before
using the attachment.
