It walks through hydraulic hose routing, bleeding lines, testing dump/curl function and checking for leaks, then covers wiring the electrical side including finding a ground and power source. Useful for owners installing this exact kit or a similar third-function/grapple setup themselves.
An enthusiast owner-operator channel that documents its own hands-on projects, and here they explicitly note a long-standing relationship with Artillian as a product provider.
