supplementary nature.
The user is responsible for inspecting the machine
daily, and for having parts repaired or replaced when
continued use of the machine would cause damage,
excessive wear to other parts or make the machine
unsafe for continued operation.
If an operating procedure, tool device, maintenance
or work method not specifically recommended is
used, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe for you
and others. You must also ensure that the
attachment will not be damaged or made unsafe by
the procedures you choose.
Erskine Attachments LLC cannot anticipate every
possible circumstance that might involve potential
hazard. The safety messages found in this manual
and on the machine are therefore not all inclusive.
Throughout this manual, reference may be made to
the left hand (LH) and right hand (RH) side. These
terms are used as viewed from the operator’s seat
facing front.
SAFETY
DO NOT use or perform maintenance on this machine until this manual has been
read and understood. In addition, read the Operation and Maintenance
Manual(s) pertaining to the attachment and the attachment carrier (“Loader”).

SAFETY
Improper operation can cause serious
injury or death.
Pre-operation
This attachment is designed to change the
mounting height of an attachment on a skid steer
loader by manual adjustment. NEVER use this
attachment for any other purpose.
Read the operator’s manuals for the “Skid Steer
Loader” and the “primary attachment” that the
mount height adapter will be used with. NEVER
allow untrained people to operate.
Operating instructions must be given to everyone
before operating this attachment and at least once
a year thereafter in accordance with OSHA
regulations.
Do not modify equipment or add attachments that
are not approved by Erskine Attachments LLC.
Use adequate safety warning lights and devices as
required by local regulations. Obey all local laws
and regulations regarding machine operation on
public property.
Operation
Check and be sure all operating controls are in
neutral before starting the engine.
NEVER operate near embankments or terrain that
is so steep that rollover could occur.
Always stay in the operator position when using
the attachment.
Maintenance
NEVER make adjustments, lubricate, clean, or
perform any service on the machine while it is in
operation.
Make sure the attachment is serviced on a daily
basis. Improper maintenance can cause serious
injury or death in addition to damage to the
attachment and/or your equipment.

SERIAL NUMBER AND SAFETY DECAL LOCATIONS
Serial Number Location:
It is important to refer to the serial number of the attachment when making repairs or ordering parts. Early or later
models (identification made by serial number) may use different parts, or it may be necessary to use different
procedures in doing a specific operation.

USER’S MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
After the initial set-up assembly is completed use the following procedure to mount the attachment to the loader.
Coupler wedges or pins must extend through holes in attachment. Levers must be fully
down and locked. Failure to secure wedges or pins can allow the attachment to come off and cause injury
or death.
1. Use the step, safety treads, and grab handles to
get on and off the loader and attachment.
2. Sitting in the operator’s seat, lower the seat bar (if
so equipped) and fasten the seat belt.
3. Drive the loader to the rear of the adapter and put
the loader mounting plate into the adapter mount
bracket.
4. Tilt the loader coupler backward a small amount
until it is fully engaged in the adapter mounting
bracket.
5. Stop the engine and engage the park brake.
6. Secure the coupler locking mechanism that
attaches the attachment to the loader.
7. Drive the loader to the rear of the primary
attachment and put the adapter mount wedge into
the attachment mounting bracket.
8. Tilt the loader coupler back a small amount until
the adapter mount is fully engaged in the
attachment mounting bracket.
9. Stop the engine and engage the park brake.
10. Secure the coupler locking levers that attach the
attachment to the adapter mount.
NOTE: If the primary attachment being mounted to
the adapter has hoses, follow the hydraulic
connection instructions in the primary attachment’s
operator’s manual.
Mounting is now complete, and the attachment is
ready for operation. Use the reverse order of the
above instructions to dismount the attachment and
adapter mount from the loader.

Locking Mechanism
Use No. 2 lithium base gun grease when lubricating
all attachment grease fittings.
Constant lubrication of the coupler wedges is not
critical. However, they must move freely in order to
correctly lock into place. If the pins start to stick, add
grease to the grease zerks [A] in the pin blocks.
NOTE: The pins may work better with grease, or may
work better without grease in certain conditions. This
is because grease can attract dirt and cause sliding
parts to become sticky.
Tension on the handles can be adjusted by slightly
tightening or loosening the lock nuts [B] that secure
the handles to the linkage levers.
Mount Height Pins
Check the four retaining pins daily to make sure that
they are in place and locked to prevent any pins from
falling out while in operation.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Lower the attachment to rest flat on the ground, shut down the engine, set the park brake,
and wait for all motion to stop before leaving the operator’s seat to perform service of any kind.
It is the operator’s responsibility to make daily inspections of the loader and attachment for damage, loose bolts,
fluid leaks, or anything else that could cause a potential service or safety problem. Preventive maintenance is
the easiest and least expensive type of maintenance.
IMPORTANT: Bolts can loosen after initial usage. After the first hour of operation check all bolts.
