    A - Latch Pin (1 each side)

    DO NOT operate loader without making sure latch pins (A) are engaged with attachment. Failure to properly engage pins could cause attachment to detach from loader, resulting in serious bodily injury or death.

    Check pin engagement with bucket/attachment:

    1. Position loader approximately 300 mm (12 in.) above ground and dump bucket/attachment until front edge contacts ground.

    2. Apply pressure against ground (extend bucket cylinders) to verify pins (A) are fully engaged with bucket/attachment.

    If Equipped with Hydraulic-Operated Attachment, such as a Grapple, with multicoupler:

    1. Relieve pressure in hydraulic system. (See procedure in your tractor Operator’s Manual and RELIEVE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE SAFELY in Safety section).

    2. Raise multicoupler cover (B).

    3. Push red knob (D) IN and rotate lever (A) upward, as shown.

    4. IMPORTANT: Multicoupler halves must be properly aligned or damage to couplers can occur.

       Insert attachment coupler half (E) into loader coupler (C). Make sure locating pins (F) on attachment coupler fit into corresponding holes (G) in loader coupler.

    5. Rotate lever (A) downward to engage pins (H) and lock coupler halves together.

13. NOTE: Hose connections are identified by matching the color-coded cap on the hose end with the same color-coded plug on the hydraulic lines:

    • (A) Attachment Cylinder—Rod End (Green)
    • (B) Attachment Cylinder—Head End (Orange)

    If Equipped with Hydraulic-Operated Attachment, such as a Grapple, with quick couplers:

    1. Relieve pressure in hydraulic system. (See procedure in your tractor Operator’s Manual and RELIEVE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE SAFELY in Safety section).

    2. Remove plugs (A) from female couplers.

    3. Push and hold collar on coupler (B).

    4. Insert hydraulic hose connector (C) into coupler.

    5. Release collar on coupler.
