View Transcript
Hello and welcome back to our excavator series
and in today’s episode, we’re going to
show you how to operate the hydraulic
quick hitch on our mini Digger the KX19-4
from Kubota. First, let’s start off we
need to get ourselves into the machine
and get it running.
When we get to the machine, quickly pop
on our seat belt,
making sure the left arm armrest is up
so we can turn on the machine.
Soon as the machines started we can drop our
left arm rest.
The first thing we need to do is pick up
the boom and bucket making
sure that the actual arm is at 90
degrees and then we’re going to do
is pop our quick hitch button. As soon as
we turn that button on. The colour of the
button is going to turn orange and you
can hear an audible sound. So all we need
to do is crowd the bucket on itself
until you hear a click. That’s the quick
hitch disengaging and you’ll see
that the color of the button
of a quick hitch turns to red. Now the
bucket is unlocked we can lower the arm
and the boom of the machine to release
the bucket.
Now we’ve dropped off our bucket we can
now re-lock our hitch
and you’ll see the pins
move back into the locking position. Now
when we want to pick up our new bucket
simply open the quick hitch again, you’ll
hear all the audible tone.
Make sure that the pins are open.
Now you have picked up the bucket, make sure that we
crowd it all the way back in on itself.
Lock your new bucket by
flicking the quick hitch button and then
we’re going to hold our lever to nine
o’clock to make sure
that the bucket is secured and the
second pin locks. Test the bucket to make
sure it’s secure properly. To make sure
it’s secure we’re going to put a little bit
of pressure through it
not too much just enough
just to ensure that the bucket is
secured. Now your new bucket is
successfully attached to the hitch of
your mini digger. There we go
everyone that is the correct operation
of a quick hitch on our KX19-4 our mini
digger if you have any problems using
the machine or changing the buckets
anytime. Please get in contact with your
