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 seat bar (if so

equipped) and fasten the seat belt.

3. Drive the loader to the rear of the attachment. Put

the loader quick attach coupler intothe attachment

mounting bracket.

4. Tilt the loader coupler backward a small amount

until it is fully engaged in the attachment mounting

bracket.

5. Stop the engine and engage the park brake.

6. Secure the coupler locking mechanism that

attaches the attachment to the loader.

8

USER’S MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

7. If attachment is equipped with optional hydraulic

scarifying teeth, connect the hydraulic quick

couplers from the attachment to the loader.

IMPORTANT: Wipe the ends of the hydraulic

quick couplers (both lead and loader) with a rag

to remove any possible contamination.

Contamination can cause hydraulic components

to fail and is not covered under warranty.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the quick couplers are

fully engaged. If the quick couplers do not fully

engage, check to see that the couplers are the

same size and brand. Do not force the quick

couplers together.

NOTE: See the loader’s operator’s manual for

auxiliary hydraulic specifications and connection

instructions.

NOTE: Attachment is shipped with 8FJX (1/2”

Female JIC Swivel) fittings on the ends of the

lead hoses.

8. Make sure the hoses are properly routed to fit

your specific loader. If the hoses are not routed

correctly, hoses may get pinched or rub on tires.

Be sure to check the hose routing through the full

range of intended motion of the attachment

before operating it.

More than one routing may be acceptable

depending on the loader. Pick the routing that

best suits your loader.

IMPORTANT: Proper hose routing is the

responsibility of the owner and/or operator.

Pinched or stretched hoses are not covered

under warranty.

Mounting is now complete and the attachment is

ready for operation. Use reverse order of above

instructions to dismount the attachment from the

loader.

9

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

With the operator in the seat of the loader, seat belt

fastened, and seat bar lowered (if so equipped), start

the engine.

Cutting the Ground

1. Raise the loader lift arms and tilt the attachment to

the desired angle.

2. If operating while movingforward, lower the loader

lift arms until the front cutting edge enters the

ground.

3. If operating in reverse, lower the loader lift arms

until the rear cutting edge enters the ground.

4. Use the loader tilt and lift functions to adjust

cutting depth and increase traction. Keep the

digging depth even in order to obtain the desired

grade angle.

Using the Scarifying Teeth

When the scarifying teeth are engaged, they break up

hard or compacted soil while the cutting edge levels

the soil.

1. Raise the attachment slightly above the ground,

and activate the auxiliary hydraulics to lower the

scarifying teeth into the operating position.

IMPORTANT: The scarifying teeth are designed

to be used in the fully lowered position. If the

scarifying teeth are used when not fully lowered,

damage may occur to the cylinder, cylinder mount,

or frame. When not using the scarifying teeth,

make sure they are fully raised.

NOTE: The scarifying tooth bar may be stiff when

new and not fully lower at first. The tooth bar will

operate more freely after an initial break-in period.

10

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2. Lower the loader lift arms until the rear cutting

edge is on the ground. Control the digging depth

by raising or lowering the front cutting edge.

Leveling the Ground

1. To level the ground, raise the loader lift arms and

position the attachment at the desired angle.

2. If operating while moving forward tilt the

attachment so that there is more pressure on the

rear cutting edge than there is on the front cutting

edge.

3. If operating in the reverse direction, tilt the

attachment so that there is more pressure on the

front cutting edge than there is on the rear cutting

edge.

4. When operating in the forward direction, the

optional expanded metal grates will allow the soil

to fall through, but will catch and hold rocks and

debris.

11

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Lower the attachment to rest flat on the ground, shut down the engine, relieve the

hydraulic pressure to the attachment, 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.

Scarifying Teeth

Inspect the scarifying teeth before each use. If the

teeth get worn to the point of replacement, the teeth

may be replaced by either welding new teeth onto the

tooth shanks, or by replacing the tooth mount.

Tooth Mount Removal

NOTE: It is recommended to perform this tack with

two persons and to use either a hoist or loader to

move the attachment.

1. Position the attachment flat on the ground, and

make sure the attachment hydraulic couplers are

disconnected from the loader.

2. Loosen the cylinder mounting bolts and remove

the cylinder. Make sure the cylinder is secured

out of the way.

3. Loosen the bolts securing the tooth mount support

plates and remove the two plates.

4. Loosen the bolts securing the tooth mount pins

and remove the two pins.
