Machine Requirements & Coupler Installation
Machine Requirements
Hydraulic Coupler Circuit
The coupler requires a hydraulic coupler circuit to open/close the coupler just like a standard hydraulic coupler.
If your machine doesn’t have an existing coupler circuit you will need the additional hydraulic install kit. This includes hydraulic lines, solenoid and control box for the cab to operate the coupler. For more information you can download the coupler operators and installation manual below.
Coupler Installation
The basic steps of the coupler install are as follows:
– Pin the coupler onto the machine.
– Run hoses from the coupler to the supplied control block that mounts onto the dipper/stick of the machine.
– Run hoses from the stick all the way back to the hydraulic pump housing compartment.
– Secure the hydraulic solenoid to a suitable location.
– Use T fittings to tap into the bucket cylinder circuit of the machine and connect hoses to the solenoid as instructed by the manual.
– Mount the control box in the cab and connect to the solenoid and power source.
The Attachment Company and Geith can assist with installation instructions remotely if needed.
Quick Coupler Features
Coupler Front & Rear Pin Lock
