You could Export the Rig using "J" then load your model in a new scene and Import the Rig you saved. "I"

Default Hey

I'm Guessing that your object and bones are in sperate layers or files..... If so CLick on the Main character object and then click bones tab at the bottom of the screen. Press P for object properties and at the top (use Bones From Object) select your bone layer. Also make sure you have - Setup 'Enable IK' and 'Enable Deform', Selected......

Good Luck
