OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS

d WARNING: Be sure to complete installation work only after checking that coupler pins (5) (both right and left) have been installed.

d WARNING: Apply the parking brake before leaving the machine.

IMPORTANT: Apply grease onto coupler pin (5) to prevent seizing and rust before installing the attachment.

1. After checking that coupler pins (5) have been removed. Slowly approach the machine to the bucket (attachment) hooks (6) until the hooks are inserted into the quick coupler.

2. Slightly raise lift arm (7) to slowly allow the bucket (attachment) to tilt backward until stopper (8) on the bucket comes in contact with quick coupler stopper (9).

3. Remove lock pin (9). Turn lever (10) to the installation position and install coupler pins (5) (right and left).

4. After checking that coupler pins (5) (right and left) have been securely installed, set lock pin (9) in the original position.

If installed attachment uses additional hydraulic cylinder other than the bucket or the lift arm, connect the hydraulic hoses to the attachment cylinder.

Handling Quick Coupler (Hydraulic Type)

d WARNING: During work, keep other persons away from the machine.

The quick coupler is a system with which a front attachment work tool such as a bucket can be easily replaced with other work tool.

When installing an additionally purchased bucket or your own bucket with the quick coupler, the bucket may not be fit on due to misaligned stopper. Contact your nearest TCM dealer for adjustment.

Removal d WARNING: Apply the parking brake before leaving the machine. fNOTE: Connecting hydraulic hoses (2, 3) from the machine body with coupler cylinder (1) of the quick coupler allows operator to install/remove the attachment by controlling auxiliary control lever (5).

Disconnect all hydraulic hoses routed to the attachment cylinders except for the bucket and lift arm cylinders. Connect the removed hydraulic hoses to the coupler cylinder of the quick coupler. (Refer to page 13-6 for “Disconnection/Connection Hydraulic Hoses”.) If possible, place the bucket (attachment) to be removed on a pallet.

1. Raise the bucket (attachment) about 20 cm (8 in) above the pallet with horizontal posture.

2. Check that the hydraulic hoses (2, 3) from the machine body are connected to coupler cylinder (1) of the quick coupler.
