Abstract
A coupler assembly having a hydraulic system configured to move locking pins between an extended position where the locking pins are received by lugs in an implement to secure the coupler assembly to the implement, and a retracted position wherein the locking pins are retracted from the lugs to allow the implement to be removed from the coupler assembly. The coupler assembly includes a proximity sensor configured to determine whether the implement is seated properly with the coupler assembly. The proximity sensor is in communication with the coupler's hydraulic system and only allows the flow of hydraulic fluid through the system toward the locking pins when the implement is determined to be properly seated with the coupler. The coupler assembly further includes an indicator in communication with the coupler's hydraulic system and configured to visually indicate whether the implement meets certain conditions to indicate a proper attachment.
