QUICK TOOL INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL

QUICK TOOL INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL (optional)

IMPORTANT: This quick coupler is designed to be used with CASE buckets. This being said, other buckets may be used, provided the diameter of the pins and the width between the bucket lugs are modified to meet the dimensions needed to fit the quick coupler (pins, washers, bushings, etc...). See your CASE Dealer.

WARNING: It is strictly forbidden for anybody to remain in the machine operating area during tool installation and removal operations.
