Skid Steer Hook-Up
!
DANGER
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate skin. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood
rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must be treated by a
doctor within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Refer to Figure 1-4:
!
CAUTION
Do not stand between the skid steer loader and implement
during hookup.
1. Drive the skid steer slowly to the Powered Rake
making sure the front hitch plate of the skid steer is
parallel with the Powered Rake hitch.
2. Tilt the top of the skid steer hitch plate slightly
forward.
3. Place the skid steer’s hitch plate top under the top
angled bar of the Powered Rake.
4. Slowly lift the skid steer’s hitch until the Powered
Rake’s hitch and the skid steer’s top angle bar have
come together.
5. Push lock handles of the skid steer down so that the
pins go through the bottom slots of the Powered
Rake’s hitch and the handles lock down.
6. Connect hydraulic hoses on Powered Rake to the
skid steer loader.

DANGER
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate skin. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working
with hydraulic systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood
rather than hands when searching for hydraulic leaks. If
hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin, it must be treated by a
doctor within a few hours or gangrene may result.
!
DANGER
Make sure hydraulic hoses are properly routed without twists
to prevent becoming pinched or kinked while operating.
A pinched or kinked hose can burst and leak hydraulic fluid.
7. See your skid steer or Tractor Operator’s Manual to
determine which coupler on your unit is under
pressure when unit is locked in continuous operation.
If coupling (#4) does not mate with your unit’s
coupling that is under pressure, then switch
couplings (#3) and (#4) on lines (#2A & 2B).
8. Make certain both couplings (#3 & #4) are screwed
on tight. Connect couplings to the Skid Steer/Tractor
high pressure outlets.
9. Hydraulic hoses will be zip tied together after
installation of wiring harness. Continue with “Wiring
Harness Electrical Hook-Up” on page 11.

NOTE: The preferred hose connections will allow
continues hydraulic flow for raking. Line (#2B) is the
pressure line for raking. Therefore, attach line (2B)
to the Skid Steer or Tractor hydraulic line that is
pressurized when controls are locked for continuous
operation (continuous hydraulic flow).
