Detaching Implements

1. Level the implement and lower it until just off ground.

2. Disconnect hydraulics and electrics (implements with 3rd, 4th or 5th functions).

Close the implement (i.e. grapple, bale gripper, bale clamp, bale elevator).

IMPORTANT: To avoid disconnecting under pressure, relieve pressure in loader hydraulic lines. (See "Attaching/Detaching the Loader" Section.)

Engage parking lock, apply handbrake, shut off engine, remove key.

a. Disconnecting from individual couplers:

Disconnect hydraulic couplers.
