USING QUICK-DISCONNECT HITCH
1. The cylinder in the Quick-Disconnect Hitch is powered
by hydraulic oil from the excavator bucket cylinder
which is diverted to the Quick-Disconnect by an electric
solenoid valve.
NOTE: The solenoid coil is energized only in the unlatch
position.
2. To attach the Quick-Disconnect Hitch to an attachment
manually lift and rotate the safety lock pin lever on the
top rear of the Quick-Disconnect Hitch. Fully extend
the bucket cylinder and set the Quick-Disconnect Hitch
switch (A) to the unlatch position. Extend the bucket
cylinder again to place the oil over relief. This will
activate the cylinder to the open position.
