Abstract
A coupling arrangement for coupling a tool to a machine includes a body-bracket alignment guide mounted to a bracket and comprises at least one body-bracket guide body configured to guide a quick coupler body at least partially into a bracket cavity during coupling of front and back pin-recess assemblies. An axial alignment guide is mounted to the quick coupler and comprises at least one axial guide body. At least one mounting surface of the axial guide body is configured to restrain relative movement between the quick coupler and bracket along the back pin-recess assembly axis when the back pin-recess assembly is coupled. At least one axial ramp of the axial guide body is configured to, during coupling of the back pin-recess assembly, guide the bracket to be located adjacent to the at least one mounting surface.
