XLS INSTRUCTIONS AND PARTS LIST
How to Shim the XLS Coupler System
The XLS system is designed to make it easy to keep the bucket tight to the coupler. The
system works by placing enough shims under the wear plate on the bucket to get rid of any
movement between the bucket and coupler. When the bucket and coupler are first installed
on a machine the XLS system should be shimmed tight. As the bucket is used it is normal
for the bucket and shims to wear a bit; at this time, it is necessary to put more shims under
the wear plate. Enough shims should be used so that the hand pin is just able to fit and
slide freely into the bucket and coupler. A rubber mallet may be used to start the hand pin
after adjustment. Do not use a hammer or maul to drive the Latch Pin Assembly in
place. This may cause damage or failure to the Latch Pin Assembly.
Failure to properly shim the XLS system will result in premature bucket and coupler
wear.
"Support - Long" is a center brace that runs along the back sheet of the bucket and is welded to the
backside of the XLS Bracket. (Not Shown)

RIGID XLS COUPLER DAILY INSPECTION
WARNING: Failure to follow these daily inspections could result in the attachment to drop
unexpectedly and may cause serious injury or death.
Below are inspections and general maintenance procedures that must be performed on a daily basis. For the
below instruction, see page 5 and page 8 for diagrams.
1. Visually check the bucket to make sure it’s held tight to the coupler. If the bucket becomes loose and
has the XLS system then add shims until the bucket is tight, see the instructions on How to Shim a XLS
(Page 6). The latch pin assembly (#2 on the Coupler Diagram Parts List) must slide through the bucket
and coupler without using force. If the bucket is an original system then check the coupler and flats to
see if there is excessive wear.
2. Visually check the latch pin assembly (#2 on the Coupler Diagram Parts List) for wear, damage, or
cracks in the weld or to the handle portion of the latch pin assembly. If the handle is worn to less than
80% of the original diameter, the pin assembly must be replaced immediately. If any other wear,
cracks, or damage the pin is found it is a safety hazard and must be replaced immediately.
3. Visually check the locking pin that holds the latch pin assembly in place (#2 & #3 on Coupler Diagram
& Parts List). The ring on the locking pin should snap over the end of the latch pin assembly. The
locking pin should have spring tension that will cause the ring to snap closed on its own. If this ring no
longer engages properly then the locking pin must be replaced to prevent the latch pin assembly from
falling out during operation. A latch pin assembly that isn’t working properly is a safety hazard and
must be replaced immediately.
4. Visually check the Rigid Coupler (#1 on the Coupler Diagram Parts List) for excessive wear, weld or
material fractures, and cracks in the hook area. If any wear, cracking, or fractures is found the coupler
must be removed from service immediately and replaced.

HYDRAULIC RELEASE XLS RIGID COUPLER
(Woods Equipment Company. Patent No: 5,727,342)
A. System Description:
Your new Wain-Roy, Inc. hydraulic quick coupler is simple! Only one hose runs up the boom and down
the dipper stick to a single acting cylinder in the coupler. The other end of this hose connects to a solenoid
valve that is mounted inside the vehicle frame near the equipment valve. A drain line runs from the
solenoid valve to a low pressure drain line or to the hydraulic tank. There is a wire that reaches from the
solenoid to a locking toggle switch in the cab. The simplicity of the system makes installation easy and
takes less time than other systems. Removing the mechanical portion inside the coupler is very simple and
can be accomplished using only the supplied spring removal bolt. No tools are required.
The new hydraulic quick coupler was designed with safety in mind! The system is spring apply, hydraulic
release. The cylinder actually pushes the pin out to retract. If there is a loss of either electrical or
hydraulic power, the pin will remain extended or if the pin is retracted when there is a loss of power,
the pin will extend automatically. In the "latch" switch position the solenoid is shut off and no
pressure can reach the pin cylinder. If there is a hydraulic failure due to solenoid leakage the drain line
would divert the pressure thus not allowing the pin to retract. In the "unlatch" switch position, the
solenoid is energized but still requires the bucket cylinder to be completely extended before enough
pressure reaches the pin cylinder in order to retract the pin. In this position, the Wain-Roy Inc. coupler
hooks are rolled inward thus assuring that the tool will not fall off. Also in this position, red lights and
a beeper sound device alerts the operator that the switch is in the activated position.
The new hydraulic quick coupler is effective! The cylinder is in the retracted position during the
tool working period. Because the cylinder is retracted, the rod is not exposed to being damaged from
rocks and sharp objects. The pin indicator readily shows whether the pin is fully inserted or not. The
indicator can be viewed easily from the operator position. Since a non-hydraulic coupler can be so
easily retrofitted, in the unlikely event of a component failure, the coupler can easily be converted
back to the mechanical manual hand pin version with no lost down time! Parts are easy to clean and
broken parts are simple to replace.

Page 10
B. Coupler Retrofit
(This does not apply if you purchased the coupler with the hydraulic pin already installed)
a. Prepare the coupler:
Cut the slot in the bottom of the coupler per the figure supplied with your retrofit kit. On the larger sizes
locate and weld the spring support to the formed plate in the coupler as shown. On smaller size versions,
add the cylinder stop block to the latch collar. Paint bare areas in order to inhibit corrosion.
b. Spring and pin installation:
Screw the cylinder into the pin block until the rod
of the cylinder is flush with the pin block as shown
in figure 6. Screw the two cap screws in the block
to retain the cylinder. Insert the pin and cylinder
assembly into the coupler. Place the compressed
spring assembly into the pin block. Push the pin up
against the spring so that the top of the spring is
resting properly in the spring retainer on the
coupler. Clamp or tie the pin in this retracted
position. Turn on the machine, turn the latch
switch to the on (unlatch) position and slowly roll
the coupler forward, extending the bucket cylinder
to its full length. This will extend the coupler cylinder and compress the spring. Remove the now loose
retaining bolt from the end of the compressed spring. Turn off the switch (latched position) and the
system is in full operational condition see figure 7. Reposition the coupler hose to its best orientation to
accommodate the full motion of the bucket linkage.

Page 11
C. Maintenance:
WARNING: Do not proceed to operate the machine with a tool unless the pin is inserted
into the tool latch bracket.
Personal injury and machine damage could result.
Visibly verify that the pin is properly inserted in the tool latch bracket.
Note: Remember that the coupler hooks and the attachment top must not have clumps of dirt adhered to
the surfaces. Dirt on the coupler must be removed.
Make sure all moving parts are clean and free of mud and rocks. Clean the parts with air pressure or
water frequently in order to avoid malfunction due to excess buildup of debris that could inhibit the
operation of the spring. Check that the hose and the sheathing on the hose are free of abrasion and wear.
D. Safety Precautions:
Located 133068 on Switch Box Locate 133067 in Cab, must be Visible to Operator
WARNING: The spring comes compressed from the factory. Do not attempt to remove
the bolt until the spring assembly is installed in the coupler.
Personal injury could result.
_________________________________________________________________________
WARNING: Do not place any part of the body inside the coupler while someone is near
the hydraulic controls, even if the machine is off.
Personal injury could result.
The spring and the cylinder are very powerful!
Use extreme caution while servicing or installing the components inside the coupler.
________________________________________________________________________
WARNING: Do not place any part of the body inside the machine linkage while
someone is near the hydraulic controls, even if the machine is off.
Personal injury could result

Page 12
_______________________________________________________________________
WARNING: The coupler must be latched properly before operating the equipment or
personal injury and machine damage could result.
The operator must visibly verify that the pin is inserted in the tool latch bracket.
The switch box lights, and beeper are solely to remind the operator that the switch is in
the energized position!
The absence of the sound and the light does not mean that the coupler is latched
properly!
__________________________________________________________________________
WARNING: If the lights or the buzzer fail to operate properly, replace the necessary
component immediately.
The absence of these components could cause a failure to notify the operator of an
energized solenoid condition thus resulting in possible personal injury and machine
damage.

HYDRAULIC COMPONENT INSTALLATION
Each Hydraulic kit has its own installation manual specific for the OEM machine, below is a summary of the kit
install.
1. Mount the solenoid valve (1) to the boom above the bucket cylinder. Be sure to measure the hose
included (6) to ensure the valve is positioned close enough to allow slack for bucket curl. (Note: the
valve can be mounted anywhere however the hose (6) provided is intended to be used with the valve
mounted near the bucket cylinder. A new hose would have to be provided by the dealer if the valve
location is to be moved.)
2. Attach item 5 to the coupler valve (1) as shown above. Attach item 4 to the coupler cylinder as shown
above.
3. With the two fittings in place (4 & 5) the Hose (6) can now be attached between the valve and coupler
hydraulic cylinder.
4. Determine a suitable location in the cab for installing the switch box (2) that is not part of the R.O.P.S.
structure. Remove the four screws in the cover of the switch box (2). Drill two holes 2-1/2” apart for
mounting the box. Use self-tapping screws. Mount the box and replace the cover.
5. Use the wire (3) provided to complete the rest of the wiring as shown in the hydraulic and wiring
diagram below:
