IT24 Swapping implements

On an IT24F what is the process to release the coupler Pins? There is a push button on top the middle lever, is that the release?

Should be a toggle you hold then use the aux lever to pin on or off

ok thank you for the clarification.

There is a push button switch on top of the middle lever When I play around with holding that button down and pushing the middle lever . And/or the third lever, the engine starts to bog down.

Their is lock valves on the coupler they are manual you have to turn them first

Thank you for the clarification Do you have a picture of these lock valves?

Isn’t real good but numbers 27&28

Thank you for the diagram I see the box is it the hex bolt on the top?

I'm thinking there is a handle on the back I actually called wrong it is a diverter valve should be quick couplers on top of it I know they used quick couplers for forks with a top clamp It's best to keep it going to the quick couplers and not the cylinder to release the attachment so you don't accidently drop your attachment

Oh thats interesting I have never noticed a handle. I can take some pictures in a little bit

Here’s the coupler

clean back of left one off you will find a roll pin and a square head where handle goes. I don't know what's on the machine but it doesn't look like it's been off for years might be pretty hard getting things to move

You may find the attached of some use. A complete O&M Manual for the IT24F is available for download from the Cat Publications web site for $52. Might prove useful if you also do your own maintenance.

By the looks of that coupler, it’s not going to move easy. Think I’d mix up some acetone and tranny fluid and give everything a bath after a good hot pressure wash.

so I did purchase the manual and it looks like I am missing this handle to the right of the cab seat I am also missing the lever for the diverter valve on the coupler

Thanks for the clarification. How about the fact that diverter valve handle in tge 2nd picture?

A crescent wrench will probably do what you need
