4. Connect female coupler on attachment to male
coupler (1) on unit.
5. If needed, connect attachment case drain hose
to case drain connector (2).

Pressurized fluid or air could pierce skin and cause
severe injury. Refer to operator’s manual for proper use.
To help avoid injury:
• Escaping pressurized fluid can cause injury or pierce skin and poison.
• Before disconnecting a hydraulic line, turn engine off and operate all controls to relieve pressure.
Lower, block, or support any raised component with a hoist. Cover connection with heavy cloth and
loosen connector nut slightly to relieve residual pressure. Catch all fluid in a container.
• Before using system, check that all connections are tight and all lines are undamaged.
• Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than hands, to search for leaks.
• Wear protective clothing, including gloves and eye protection.
• If you are injured, seek immediate medical attention from a doctor familiar with this type of injury.
Hot parts may cause burns. Do not touch until cool.
To help avoid injury: Wear gloves when connecting and disconnecting
hydraulic hoses and wait until unit has cooled before touching hydraulic
components.
