Setup Instructions
IMPORTANT: If the QuickPass will be used without an
attachment, you must connect the two quick couplers at
the rear of the QuickPass to complete the hydraulic
circuit.
How to Set Up the Chassis
1. Remove the hitch tube tongue from the side of the
crate.
2. Slide the hitch tube tongue into place at the front of
the QuickPass. Ensure that the jack’s mounting
bracket is on the same side of the unit as the drive
motor.
3. Place the two 18.75 x 112.5 mm (¾ x 4½ in) bolts
through the frame and hitch tube, with washers on
both sides.
4. Securely tighten the nylon locking nuts to 13.83 kg/m
(100 ft lb) (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Tighten nylon locking nuts to hitch tube
5. Cut and remove the metal straps securing the chassis
to the crate. Pull the QuickPass from the crate.
6. Install the hopper. See the set up instructions on page
12 (300) and page 13 (450).
7. Install the two plastic washers over the two welded
bolts on the left side of the QuickPass (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Install plastic washers over welded bolts
8. Install the rear gate handle over the welded bolts. Add
another plastic washer and a flat washer to the top
bolt, and a flat washer on the bottom (Figure 3).
Figure 3: Install flat washers over welded bolts
9. Install the black tensioning handle to the top bolt and a
nylon locking nut to the bottom bolt. Tighten the nut
just enough so you can move the rear gate handle back
and forth freely.
10. Install the 12.5 x 37.5 mm (½ x 1½ in) bolt and lock
washer through the gate-adjusting arm into the rear
gate handle and tighten (Figure 4).

11. Place the gate metering bar on the outside of the
mounting bracket and install two 6.25 x 25 mm (¼ x
1 in) machine screws and nylon locking nuts
(Figure 5).
Figure 5: Place the gate metering bar
12. Place the rear gate in the lowest position against the
belt.
13. Install the metering bar sticker with the tailgate closed
and the indicator pointing at zero (Figure 6).
Figure 6: Install metering bar sticker
QP300 Only
Install the tow vehicle hydraulic option or the Honda
engine option. Install the Honda engine when the
customer’s tow vehicle has insufficient hydraulic
capabilities (see the Specifications in the Operator’s
Manual).
QP450 Only
Install the tow vehicle hydraulic option. The Honda engine
option is not needed for the QuickPass 450.
How to Install the Honda Engine
1. Before installing the Honda Engine to the Quickpass
Base Model, a protective decal must be applied to the
area on the Base Model that is exposed to the exhaust
of the Engine.
2. The decal should be placed on the front of the belt
cartridge assembly (left of the hitch when looking
straight at the QuickPass), approximately 20 inches
from the left side and approximately 1-1/8 inches from
the bottom of the belt cartridge. See figure 7 for
clarification.

3. Remove the battery and the battery box from the crate.
4. Remove the two middle black plugs on the top of the
QuickPass hitch tube (Figure 8).
Figure 8: Remove battery plugs
5. Line up the battery box and battery with the holes and
attach with the battery clamp and two 7.8 x 175 mm
(5/16 x 7 in) bolts. Ensure that the battery posts are
towards the front of the machine.
6. Remove the Honda engine from the crate and mount
the engine assembly to the hitch tube straddling the
four tabs welded to the hitch assembly.
NOTE – Ensure that the engine’s fuel tank is facing out
towards the front of the machine.
7. Install the four 9.4 x 25 mm (⅜x 1 in) tank mounting
bolts. Install the rear ones first and then the front. Use
the supplied washers and nylon locking nuts. Position
the tank to ensure that the hood does not come in contact
with the front hopper wall when opening and closing.
8. Install the hood bumper bracket to the hitch assembly.
Then line it up so when the hood assembly is in the open
position, the hood will rest in the center of the round
bumper. Tighten the bolt holding the bracket to the hitch
assembly.
NOTE – All the hydraulic hoses are numbered for easier
installation. Loosely connect all the hoses to their proper
connections before tightening. See Figure 16 for hose
description and placement.
9. Connect the #5 hose to the ‘B’ fitting on the side of
the QuickPass (Figures 9 and 13).
10. Connect the #3 hose to the ‘C’ fitting on the side of
the QuickPass (Figures 9 and 13).
11. Connect the #2 hose to the ‘D’ fitting on the side of
the QuickPass (Figures 9 and 13).
Figure 9: Connect hydraulic hoses to fittings
12. Connect the #4 hose to the ‘IN’ port of the flow
control valve (Figures 10 and 13).
13. Connect the #8 hose to the ‘EX’ port of the flow
control valve (Figures 10 and 13).

Start with the positive connector, followed by the
negative connector.
16. Remove the four bolts and the black plug beside the
battery (Figure 11).
Figure 11: Remove bolts and black plug
17. Loosely install the hood stop adjuster plate (supplied
with the Honda engine) to the QuickPass using the
four bolts you just removed. Bring the hood into the
covering position, line up the male and female ends,
and tighten (Figure 12).
NOTE – Make side-to-side adjustments by adjusting the
plug on the engine cover.

NOTE – All the hydraulic hoses are numbered for easier
installation. Loosely connect all the hoses to their proper
connections before tightening. See Figure 17 for hose
description and placement.
4. Connect the ‘Item-3’ hose (the tee-fitting end) to port
‘B’ on the QuickPass. Ensure the angle of the tee
fitting is down and towards the front. Allow the
opposite end to hang loose for now (Figure 17).
5. Connect the ‘Item-1’ pressure hose to port ‘C’ of the
QuickPass.
6. Connect the ‘Item-4’ hose from port ‘D’ of the
QuickPass to the ‘IN’ port of the flow control valve
(Figure 17).
7. Connect the ‘Item-5’ hose from the tee fitting on port
‘B’ of the QuickPass, to the ‘EX’ port of the flow
control valve (Figure 17).
8. Connect the ‘Item-2’ return hose, along with the
‘Item-6’ male-to-male ‘jic’ hydraulic fitting at the end,
to the ‘Item-3’ hose (Figures 16 and 17).
Figure 16: Connect return hose and hydraulic fitting
9. Attach the ‘Item-2’ return hose and the ‘Item-1’
pressure hose to the side of the weight case using two
black hose brackets, two red hold-down flat bars, two
6.25 mm (¼ in) washers, and two 6.25 mm (¼ in)
nylon locking nuts. Attach the ‘Item-1’ pressure hose
on the top and the ‘Item-2’ return hose on the bottom
(Figure 17).
10. Ensure that all hoses have been properly placed and
routed (Figure 17).
11. Tighten all hose connections. Ensure that the hoses are
not touching any sharp metal corners or edges.
12. Test the QuickPass operation. Ensure that there are no
hydraulic leaks and perform any adjustments required.
WARNING:All hydraulic hoses must be
tightened before testing the QuickPass.
