Also keep it lubed, I use Fluid Film, as it seems to attract less dirt, and check the bolt that is the axle for the handle, mine worked loose, fortunately I found it before it fell out. You will learn pretty quickly how to hook up and disengage. One thing I have found for attachments that are a little tight, (like my forks) I stop after I get the top of the forks hooked up and go to operate the handle, to leave the attachment a couple of inches off of the ground, and step on the attachment, this puts my considerable weight on it and makes it just a little easier to operate the handle into the locked position, as it puts some pre-load on the attachment in the downward direction. As for hookup, I put it in LO range, throttle down, and lean out to the right to be able to see the right hand side of the right QA pad. Move tractor to just clear the right hand side, with the top of the pad several inches lower than the top channel and the pad angled forward some. If the right hand side is good the left will normally take care of itself. Check that both pads are hooked under the channel, and rotate back (curl) and lift. Set Brake, get off and step on attachment, and operate the handle to the locked position. Go have fun! For you guys that have been doing this for years, sorry about the instruction book, but I figured it might help some.
