Disclosed embodiments provide various quick release hose guide (120; 200; 300; 400; 500; 600) designs which can be attached to, or removed from, a work machine (100) with less effort than conventionally required. Exemplary embodiments of the hose guides include a sleeve (210) which slides over a post (110) on the work machine when hydraulic hoses (155) of an attachment (150) are to be connected to the hydraulic system of the work machine. A quick release pin (250) is inserted through apertures (115; 205/207) in the sleeve (210) and in the post (110) to secure the hose guide in place. A snap clip (260) connected to the pin can then be used to help insure that the pin remains in place. In some embodiments, unlike conventional hose guide designs, the hose guides remain with the attachment or implement hoses (155) when the attachment (150) is removed from the work machine (100). |
