ABSTRACT:
A method of coupling a fluid-powered work implement to a boom assembly of a work machine is disclosed. The boom assembly has a first male fluid coupling attached thereto. The boom assembly also has a plunger attached thereto. The work implement has a first female fluid coupling attached thereto. The first female fluid coupling has a first locking sleeve slidably secured thereto. The method includes the step of moving the boom assembly toward the work implement so as to align the first male fluid coupling with the first female fluid coupling. The method also includes the step of actuating the plunger so as to cause the first locking sleeve to be moved from a first locked position to a first unlocked position. Moreover, the method includes the step of further moving the boom assembly so as to advance the first male fluid coupling into the first female fluid coupling. The method further includes the step of deactuating the plunger so as to cause the first locking sleeve to be moved from the first unlocked position to the first locked position. An apparatus for coupling a fluid-powered implement to a work machine is also disclosed.
