6.CONNECTING ATTACHING HEADS TO THE BOOM
1. Start by using a hoist to lower the boom down to
the head. Align the Boom with the Head Hitch Post,
insert the upper hitch pin through the Dipper end of
the boom and the Head Upper Hitch Post. Attach
with washer, nut, and cotter pin.
2. Then align the lower linkage of the Boom and
insert the lower hitch pin through hitch post. Attach
with nut and bolt.
3. Finally make sure all bolts, nuts, and pins are
tightened to recommended torque. OPS-B- 0004_H
7.PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND SERVICE
Before each use, a pre-operation inspection and service of the implement and tractor must be performed.
This includes routine maintenance and scheduled lubrication, inspecting that all safety devices are equipped
and functional, and performing needed repairs. DO NOT operate the unit if the pre-operation inspection
reveals any condition affecting safe operation. Perform repairs and replacement of damaged and missing
parts as soon as noticed. By performing a thorough pre-operation inspection and service, valuable down time
and repair cost can be avoided. OPS-U-0029
Always disconnect the main PTO Driveline from the Tractor before performing service on
the Implement. Never work on the Implement with the tractor PTO driveline connected and
running. Rotating Parts, Blades or Drivelines could turn without warning and cause
immediate entanglement, injury or death.
