INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The SPARTAN EQUIPMENT tilt attach installs onto the toolbar/quick-attach mechanism of your
skid steer loader and also attaches to your attachment in the same fashion as a universal quick attach.
Due to this arrangement, thorough knowledge of the skid steer controls is necessary for machine
operation. Read and understand your skid steer operator's manual instructions for attaching and
detaching an attachment.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2. Remove the shipping banding from around the tilt attach and skid.
3. Remove any attachments from the front of the loader.
4. Following all standard safety practices and the instructions for installing an attachment in your
skid steer operator's manual, install the tilt attach onto your skid steer.

MAINTENANCE
&
SERVICE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Regular maintenance is the key to long equipment life and safe operation. Maintenance
requirements have been reduced to the absolute minimum. However, it is very important that
these maintenance functions be performed as described below.
DAILY
Check all bolts and nuts for tightness.
Replace any missing bolts or nuts with approved replacement parts.
Check hydraulic system for hydraulic oil leaks. See procedure below.
Visually inspect the machine for worn parts or cracked welds, and repair
as necessary.
EVERY 40 HOURS
Lubricate all grease fittings.
WARNING!
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin,
causing serious personal injury. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be
almost invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than hands, to
search for suspected leaks.
Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as far away as
possible from a suspected leak. Flesh injected with hydraulic fluid may
develop gangrene or other permanent disabilities.
If injured by injected fluid, see a doctor at once. If your doctor is not familiar
with this type of injury, ask him to research it immediately to determine proper
treatment.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
CYLINDER SEAL REPLACEMENT
The following information is provided to assist you in the event you should need to repair or rebuild a hydraulic
cylinder. When working on hydraulic cylinders, make sure that the work area and tools are clean and free of dirt to
prevent contamination of the hydraulic system and damage to the hydraulic cylinders. Always protect the active part of
the cylinder rod (the chrome section). Nicks or scratches on the surface of the rod could result in cylinder failure. Clean
all parts thoroughly with a cleaning solvent before reassembly.
DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: Do not contact the active surface of the cylinder rod with the vise. Damage to the rod could
result.
3. Remove the hex nut, piston, flat washer or spacer tube (if so equipped), and gland from the cylinder rod. If the
cylinder rod is rusty, scratched, or bent, it must be replaced.
4. Remove and discard all the old seals.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: Replace all seals even if they do not appear to be damaged. Failure to replace all seals may result
in premature cylinder failure. NOTE: Seal kits will service most cylinders of similar bore size and rod diameter.
1. Install the cylinder rod seal in the gland first. Be careful not to damage the seal in the process, as it is
somewhat difficult to install.
NOTE: A special installation tool (Part #65349) is available to help with installing the seal. Simply fit the end of the tool
over the seal so that the large prong of the tool is on the outside of the seal, and the two smaller prongs on the inside.
The lip of the seal should be facing towards the tool. Rotate the handles on the tool around to wrap the seal around the
end of the tool.

THREADED TYPE GLAND
1. Rotate the gland with a spanner wrench counterclockwise until the gland is free of the cylinder tube.
2. Pull the cylinder rod from the cylinder tube and inspect the piston and the bore of the cylinder tube for
deep scratches or galling. If damaged, the piston AND the cylinder tube must be replaced.

11.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Now insert the seal into the gland from the inner end. Position the seal in
its groove, and release and remove the tool. Press the seal into its seat the
rest of the way by hand.
2. Install the new piston ring, rod wiper, O-rings and backup washers, if ap-
plicable, on the piston.
Be careful not to damage the seals. Caution must be used when installing
the piston ring. The ring must be stretched carefully over the piston with a
smooth, round, pointed tool.
3.
After installing the rod seal inside the gland, as shown in step #1, install
the external seal.
NOTE: Threaded glands may have been equipped with a separate O-ring and
backup washer system or a polypak (all in one) type seal. Current seal kits contain a
polypak (all in one) type seal to replace the discarded seal types on ALL
THREADED GLANDS.
4. Slide the gland onto the cylinder rod, being careful not to damage the rod
wiper. Then install the spacer, or flat washer (if so equipped), small o-ring,
piston, and hex nut onto the end of the cylinder rod.
5.
Secure the cylinder rod (mounting end) in a vise with a support at its
center. Torque the nut to the amount shown for the thread diameter of the
cylinder rod (see chart).
IMPORTANT: Do not contact the active surface of the cylinder rod with the
vise. Damage to the rod could result.
6. Apply a lubricant (such as Lubriplate #105) to the piston and teflon ring. Insert the cylinder rod assembly into
the cylinder tube.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the piston ring fits squarely into the cylinder tube and piston groove, otherwise the
ring may be damaged and a leak will occur.
7. Use a spanner wrench to rotate the gland clockwise into the cylinder. Continue to rotate the gland with the
spanner wrench until it is tight.
WARNING!
Cylinders serviced in the field are to be tested for leakage prior to the attachment being placed
in work. Failure to test rebuilt cylinders could result in damage to the cylinder and/or the
attachment, cause severe personal injury or even death.
