Changing Attachments is Quick and Simple

When it comes to switching attachments on excavators it doesn’t get any
faster or easier than using the heavy-duty Bobcat X-Change™ system.
Standard equipment on the Bobcat® 325-435 excavators, it allows you to hook-up and remove attachments with a minimum of effort. Here’s just how simple it is to use the X-Change attachment mounting system:

Attachment hook-up
1 Fully retract attachment cylinder and align X-Change. Using the boom and arm functions, engage X-Change pins with attachment
ears. Raise attachment slightly off ground using the boom function.

2 Using the attachment function, curl the X-Change forward until it has full contact with the back of the attachment. Lower boom to the
ground until the X-Change is fully seated in the attachment interface.

3 Insert attachment retaining pin completely through the
X-Change and attachment. Install ring-lock pin.

Attachment removal
1 Place attachment on level ground surface. Remove ring-lock pin. Remove attachment retaining pin.

2 Raise work group (boom and arm) until attachment hangs on
X-Change ears.

3 Retract attachment cylinder completely. Lower attachment
to ground. Disengage X-Change pins from attachment ears using boom and arm functions.
