Stop, disconnect and swap the quick disconnects onto the Q/A plate. Use the Q/A disconnect to drop the attachment. I prefer to do the hose swaps with the power off, but that's me. I also put a colored zip tie on one side of each set of hoses, so that the Q/A lever always behaves the same for me.
All the best,
