INSTALLING THE FLUSH FACE COUPLERS
Operation
The BearCat Skid Steer Chipper is
equipped to attach to flush face cou-
plers (See Fig. #11). The chipper is
shipped with 12 sized hydraulic cou-
plers fitted on the hoses. A tie wrap is
used to indicate the pressure line. Be
sure to connect the hydraulic hoses
to the proper ports.
If the skid steer is fitted with anything
other than 12 sized flush face couplers,
it will be necessary to replace the cou-
plers supplied with the chipper.
To connect:
1. Before connecting make sure to re-
live the hydraulic pressure in the skid
steer using the skid steer system
to relieve pressure.
2. Remove dirt and debris from the sur-
face of the couplers.
3. Visually check for the couplers for
damage, replace if damage is found.
4. Install the male coupler into the fe-
male coupler. Full connection is
made when the ball release sleeve
slides forward on the female cou-
pler.
5. Turn the sleeve so that it is rotated
away from the locking pin to pre-
vent accidental disconnection.
To disconnect:
1. Relieve hydraulic pressure.
2. Rotate ball sleeve so that the grooves
are aligned with the pins in the fe-
male coupler.
3. Retract the sleeve on the female
coupler until the couplers discon-
nect.
