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).

adjusting arm
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.

Figure 7: Decal Placement
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).

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).

the top side of the valve bank. Connect the other end
to the ‘A’ port of the QuickPass.(Figure 21).
11. Slide the ‘Item-6’ rubber grommet over the yellow
wiring coming from the hydraulic valve solenoid.
12. Attach the four-prong female socket to the weight case
at the mounting bracket. Attach with 9.4 mm (⅜in)
washers, nylon locking nuts, and 25 mm (1 in) bolts.

rear of the wiring plug, according to Detail ‘B’ on
Figure 23.
15. Install the wiring plug back into the socket and tighten
the set screw on the back side of the socket to hold the
wiring so it does not fall out.
16. Slide the rubber grommet up and into the end of the
socket for protection.
17. Position the gray solenoid wiring harness alongside
the pressure and return hoses for the tractor.
18. Lay the hose sheath out on the bench. Fold in both
ends by 50 mm (2 in) to prevent fraying.
19. On one end, cut a hole through the sheath 25 mm
(1 in) from the end. Ensure that you go through both
sides.
20. On the opposite end, cut a hole through the sheath
25 mm (1 in) from the end (Figure 23).
21. Slide the gray solenoid wiring harness and both the
pressure and return hoses through the black protective
hose sheath. Pull the hose sheath towards the front of
the weight case.
22. Re-attach the pressure and return hoses onto the side
of the weight case with the hydraulic line clamps.
Install the hose sheath on the hydraulic line clamp
closest to the front of the weight box. Remember to
attach the pressure hose on the top and the return hose
on the bottom (Figure 23).
WARNING:When tightening the
hydraulic line clamps, be sure not to
compress or damage the gray solenoid
wiring harness in the hose sheathing.
23. Pull both hoses and the gray solenoid wiring harness
straight. Make sure the hose sheath does not bunch.
24. Install a 9.4 x 69 mm (⅜x 2¾ in) bolt with two
washers, one nylon locking nut, and two hydraulic line
clamps at the hole previously cut into the hose
sheathing, and tighten.
25. Run the battery wiring harness through the tractor and
up to the battery. Connect the white wire to the
positive post and the black wire to the ground post
using the clips provided.
26. Attach the battery wiring harness to the solenoid
wiring harness coming from the hose sheathing.
27. Plug the on/off pendant switch into the socket on the
front of the engine body.
28. Test the operation of the on/off pendant and the
QuickPass. Ensure there are no hydraulic leaks and
perform any required adjustments.
Ensure that all the hose connections and wire harnesses are
installed correctly and tightened before testing the
QuickPass.

Setup Instructions Page 11
WARNING:Always remove the
pendant switch cord or disconnect
the power supply when the
QuickPass and the tractor are not in
use. Otherwise, the tractor battery
will lose power.
Figure 23: Schematic of electrical components
WARNING:Do not run the brush
attachment while the belt is stopped, or
the belt and brush will be damaged.
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.
IMPORTANT:Do not use the on/off pendant switch
when using the Standard Brush or Vortex Brush.
Remove the switch from the socket so that the belt and
attachment will run together when the hydraulics are
engaged.
