    • Dismounting Loader
      • 1. Locate tractor and loader on firm level ground.
      • 2. Level the bucket and lower to ground. Engage tractor brakes and shut off tractor engine. Move lift control lever back and forth several times to relieve pressure in lift cylinders.
      • 3. Loosen bolts which clamp side frame uprights to the mid mounting assembly. Remove bolts, washers, and nuts.
      • 4. Remove and save any reusable tie straps fastening hoses from boom oil line tubes to loader or tractor. Unhook rubber strap, if present, secured in area of right corner of loader bumper.
      • 5. Start tractor engine and release tractor brakes. Activate lift control lever to raise side frames up off mid mounting assembly. Continue activating the loft control lever while gradually backing the tractor up. Allow loader to roll off front mount...
      • 6. Move lift and bucket control lever back and forth several times to relieve pressure on lift and bucket cylinders. Disconnect quick couplers between loader and tractor. Hang hoses over loader side frame upright for storage.
      • 7. Fasten bolts, washers and nuts onto hinge for storage.
      • 8. Start tractor engine, release brakes and slowly back the tractor away from the loader.
    • Mounting Loader
      • 1. Slowly drive tractor into loader until the tractor front mounting brackets touch the loader side frame channels. Engage tractor brakes and shut off tractor engine.
      • 2. Connect quick couplers between tractor and loader by matching color coded bands.
      • 3. Remove bolts, nuts and washers from hinge.
      • 4. Start tractor engine and release tractor brakes. If the tractor is located on a smooth surface, rotate the bucket all the way over at this point to prevent loader from skidding forward. Continue driving loader forward while rolling the loader on t...
      • 5. Refasten reusable tie straps in original locations. If rubber strap is used, hook one end of rubber strap around hoses and back onto itself. Reattach other end of rubber strap to loader side frame in area of loader front bumper.
      • 6. Clamp hinge assembly of upright around midmounting bracket. Install bolts, washers and nuts and securely tighten.

  • Lubrication Schedule
  • Daily Maintenance
    • 1. Check fluid level of tractor hydraulic system before starting each day’s operation. If necessary, add hydraulic oil as recommended in your tractor operator’s manual.
    • 2. After every eight hours of operation, lubricate all twelve grease fittings; one at each end of lift boom arms and one at rod and base ends of each lift and bucket cylinder.
    • 3. After every ten hours of operation, check all hardware and tighten where required.
    • 4. Replace hoses immediately if they are damaged by a cut or scrape, extruded at the fittings or leaking. Hydraulic oil leaks should be repaired promptly to avoid loss of oil and serious personal injury from escaping oil.
  • Hydraulic Pressure Check
    • 1. Obtain a pressure gauge that measures 3000 PSI in 50 PSI increments.
    • 2. Install gauge into the hydraulic line connecting the loader valve and to the base port bucket cylinders.
    • 3. Start engine and adjust to 1700-2200 RPM.
    • 4. Push bucket control lever to pressurize the hydraulic line with the gauge attached. Hold the control until the cylinders reach the fully extended position. Holding the control with cylinders fully extended will give you the hydraulic system pressu...
    • 5. If pressure is not correct, refer to “TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE” in the Operation Section for possible remedy, or contact your dealer.
