How To Change Skid Steer Attachments?

1210, 2022
Changing out your skid steer attachments is quick and easy, designed for busy contractors who need to stay productive. How to change a skid steer attachment depends on the type of skid steer model and whether it has a manual or powered quick coupler.
Here are some general steps to follow when attaching work tools to your skid steer loader:
  • Line up the work tool on the ground in front of the machine.
  • Lower the coupler and slowly drive the skid steer into the work tool.
  • Raise and tilt the coupler backward into its proper location.
  • If your machine has the powered quick coupler function, engage the work tool from within the cab by pressing and holding the quick coupler switch.
  • If your machine has a manual coupler, step out of the cab and secure the pins manually to the attachment.
  • Tilt the work tool down and drag it backward on the ground to ensure it’s secure and there’s no movement.
  • Perform a final check by lifting the work tool up and visually inspecting that the pins are fully engaged.
  • Attach your hydraulic hose lines by following the routing instructions in your Operation and Maintenance Manual (OMM).
Always check your OMM for specific attachment procedures for the work tool and skid steer model.
