feet of loader or attachment.

2. Lower boom arms until the attachment is level and resting on ground.
3. Place tractor in neutral, set parking brake, shut off tractor engine and disengage quick attach device latch
pins by moving handles to unlatch position (refer to Figure Asm-L-0039).
4. Start tractor engine, release brake and extend bucket cylinders while slowly backing the tractor away from
attachment, until quick attach disengages from attachment.

Quick attach device can be installed using tools ordinarily available.
Torque all hardware to specifications listed in loader operator’s manual.
Shut off the tractor engine and engage the tractor brakes during installation.
Only quick attach, skid steer compatible attachments can be used with the quick attach device. Pin on style
attachments can be used on the loader, but necessitate removal of the quick attach device and relocation of
the bucket level indicator.
All references to left and right used in these instructions are as they would appear to the operator standing at
the rear of the unit facing forward.
