The mounting plate located at the front of the machine provides for the easy installation and
safe use of the wide variety of available attachments. This system is very easy to use, but
requires the proper use of the attachment lock pins. There are two positions for the attachment
lock pins (Item 1, Figure 1), the unlocked position and the locked position. Once the
machine has picked up an attachment, shut off the engine and rotate the attachment locks into
the "locked" position. As you rotate the lock pin, it will drop downwards, securing the
attachment to the machine. If the lock pin does not drop into the locked position, start the
engine and tilt the attachment slightly forwards or backwards until the lock pins snap into
place.

Until the attachment lock pins are fully in the locked position, the attachment has not
been safely secured to the machine. Do not stand near the attachment until it is fully
secured to the machine.
To release an attachment, rotate the attachment locks to the “unlocked” position (Item 1,
Figure 2). The lock pins will automatically rise, releasing the attachment from the machine. If
the pins do not release the attachment or are very hard to rotate, start the engine and tilt the
attachment slightly forwards or backwards until the pins can be rotated.
Position the attachment on a level surface.
NOTICE: Clean the lower edge of the female attachment mounting plate to remove any
debris that might interfere with the attachment installation.
Start the machine engine, lower the loader arm and tilt the mounting plate forwards.
NOTICE: Make sure that both of the attachment lock pins (Item 1, Figure 2 and Item 3,
Figure 3) are in the "unlocked" position.
Slowly drive towards the attachment and align the top edge of the male mounting plate
(Item 1, Figure 3) and the upper lip of the female attachment mounting plate (Item 2,
Figure 3).
NOTICE: Make sure to position the attachments hydraulic hoses (Item 4, Figure 3) so that
they are not damaged during the installation process. Tuck the upper edge of the male
mounting plate into the upper lip of the female attachment mounting plate.

Pressurized fluid or air could pierce skin and cause severe injury. Refer to
operator’s manual for proper use.
To help avoid injury:
• Escaping pressurized fluid can cause injury or pierce skin.
• Before disconnecting a hydraulic line, turn engine off and operate all controls to relieve
pressure. Lower, block, or support any raised component with a hoist. Cover connection
with heavy cloth and loosen connector nut slightly to relieve residual pressure. Catch all
fluid in a container.
• Before using system, check that all connections are tight and all lines are undamaged.
• Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than hands, to search for leaks.
• Wear protective clothing, including gloves and eye protection.
• If you are injured, seek immediate medical attention from a doctor familiar with this type of
injury.
Hot parts may cause burns. Do not touch until cool.
To help to avoid injury:
Wear gloves when connecting and disconnecting hydraulic hoses and
wait until unit has cooled before touching hydraulic components.

Step 3.
1. Turn on Coolant Water
2. Open Water Petcock (1/8 turn)
3. Verify that water is flowing out through the Pilot Bit.
The coring process requires water to cool the core drum and the pilot bit. Make
sure the water tank is full before you begin the coring operation. The process uses
approximately 1 gallon of water per inch depth cut.

Step 4. Begin to Cut
1. Turn on the coring drum by moving the Drum Speed Lever to the right.
Rec om ended Core Bit Speeds
8 inch diameter Core Bit 250-270 RPM
10 inch diameter Core Bit 230-250 RPM
12 inch diameter Core Bit 210-230 RPM
18 inch diameter Core Bit 190-210 RPM
2. Begin to lower coring assembly by turning the Steering Orbital clockwise until the
Pilot Bit engages the ground.
3. When the coring drum contacts the substrate use Auxiliary Water Hose to cool the
drum until it has fully seated.
The coring process varies depending on the substrates you are cutting through. For best
results, slow and steady feed works best. If the feed is too fast, the pressure will begin to lift
the MTC off the ground. Should this occur back off the steering orbital until the MTC settles
back on its base. Then continue the coring.

4. Continue coring and watch for signs that you have completed your cut.
a, The cutting pitch (sound) changes.
b. The slurry changes color.
c. The gauge rotational pressure spikes then drops down.
5. When you think you have completed your cut, raise the coring assembly all the way up.
(Turn steering Orbital counter-clockwise)
6. Shut off Coring Drum when the drum clears the substrate.
7. Close Water Petcock and turn of Coolant Water Pump.
8. Insert a pry-bar in the Kerf and gently apply force. If the core moves you have successfully
cut the core and you can move the MTC to the next cut location.
NOTE: If the core does not move, repeat the coring process.
9. Engage Spring Lock before moving attachment.
Do not move the equipment until you are sure
that the core is loose. It is very difficult to
reposition the MTC over a partially cut core!
