Set-up and Operating Instructions
Equipment Set-up:
To attach the Kwik-Pik to the loader using a
“Universal Mounting Plate”, proceed as follows:
1. Pull the attachment locking levers all the way up.
2. Tilt the loader mounting plate ahead, drive
forward with the loader, and hook the top edge
of he mounting plate under the flange on the
Kwik-Pik mount. Care should be taken so as not
to damage the locking levers on the loader
mounting plate.
3. Tilt the loader mounting plate back until you
feel the weight of the Kwik-Pik transfer to the
loader tires, however, do not lift the attachment
off the ground. Stop the engine.
Warning:
• Before you leave the operator’s seat, lower the
lift arms, and put the attachment on the ground.
Stop engine and remove ignition key. Engage
the parking brake.
4. Push the locking levers down into the locked
over-center position.
Warning:
• Locking wedge pins must extend through the
holes in the attachment mounting plate. Levers
must be fully down in the locked and over
center position. Failure to secure wedge pins can
allow attachment to come off and cause injury
or death.
5. Connect hydraulic quick couplers from the
Kwik-Pik to the auxiliary hydraulic outlets on
the loader. (A bi-directional auxiliary hydraulic
outlet providing a minimum of 3-6 GPM at
2000 PSI is required).
Note:
It is the owner’s responsibility to provide two hoses
(3,000 lb. hydraulic hose with 1/2” male NPTF
fittings) of proper length for use on the loader.
Hoses should be carefully routed across, and
fastened to the protective screen to avoid getting
pinched by moving parts. Be sure to provide enough
extra hose length to provide maximum range of
motion without damage to hoses. Route hoses down
the back of the Kwik-Pik to a point even with the
main bucket hinge and back up to the couplers on
the loader boom.
Reverse procedure to unhook from the Kwik-Pik.
