Attachment Mounting The machine is equipped with either the standard manual All-Tach® hitch or optional Power-A-Tach® system hitch for mounting a bucket or other attachments.
All-Tach® Hitch A manual latch lever (E, Figure 42) engages the latch pins, which lock the attachment onto the hitch. While standing outside the machine, rotate the lever all the way to the right (as viewed while facing back at the machine from the front) to engage the locking pins to lock the attachment onto the hitch. Rotate the lever all the way to the left to disengage the locking pins. Refer to “Connecting Attachments” on page 98 for more information.

To prevent unexpected release of the attachment from the hitch, be sure the locking lever is rotated all the way to the right (as viewed while facing back at the machine from the front) and the locking pins (F, Figure 43) extend down through the attachment frame.
WARNING
Locking pins (F) must be fully extended through the holes in the attachment frame before using the attachment. The attachment could fall off if it is not locked on the hitch and cause serious injury or death. Important: To check that the attachment is properly installed, tilt the attachment forward slightly, and apply downward pressure to the attachment before using it.
