The quick coupler uses a hydraulic system and wedges to make coupling and uncoupling attachments easier than ever.


COUPLING ATTACHMENTS [00:25]

  1. Position the attachment on a level surface. 

  2. Line up your quick coupler with the attachment and raise the quick coupler until it meets the hooks on the attachment.

  3. Raise and tilt the quick coupler backward to engage with the attachment.

  4. In the cab, to your right is the lock-unlock switch. Flip up the red tab and press and hold the top of the switch. This engages the coupler wedges and locks the quick coupler to the attachment. 

  5. Lower the attachment with down pressure to ensure that it’s securely locked to the quick coupler.


UNCOUPLING ATTACHMENTS [01:09]

  1. Engage the quick coupler lock-unlock switch while holding up the red tab. Press and hold it to unlock the quick coupler. 

  2. Lower the attachment to the ground. 

  3. Uncurl the quick coupler and back away. 

Remember: Always refer to your Operation and Maintenance Manual for guidance on maintenance, safety, settings, features and more.
