Preparing Stored Loader for Mounting

If your loader has been completely collapsed for long-term storage, it is necessary to expand loader first, before it can be mounted on tractor. Follow instructions below which apply to your loader, depending on what valve is used to control the loader, to prepare loader for mounting.

For Loader Plumbed to Tractor Remote Valve

1.Slowly back the tractor up to the loader until hoses will reach from loader to tractor remote couplers. Engage the tractor brakes and shut off the tractor engine.

2.Making sure quick couplers are clean, connect quick couplers between the tractor and loader. Match color coded bands when connecting couplers.

3.Start the tractor engine and release tractor brakes. Operate the lift control valve to extend the lift cylinders as far as possible.

Note: Tractor may have to be moved backward or forward while extending lift cylinders to maintain slack in hydraulic hoses.

4.Once the lift cylinders are fully extended, shut off the tractor engine and engage the tractor brakes. Move the loader control levers back and forth to relieve pressure in the cylinders, then disconnect the quick couplers.

5.Start the tractor engine, release the tractor brakes, slowly drive the tractor up to loader

For Loader Plumbed to Optional 1-Lever Auxiliary Valve

1.Slowly drive the tractor up to the loader until hoses will reach from 1-lever auxiliary valve to tractor. Engage tractor brakes and shut off tractor engine.

2.Reinstall valve support assembly into the valve support guide tube. Connect quick couplers by matching color coded bands.

3.Start the tractor engine and release tractor brakes. Operate the lift control to extend the lift cylinders as far as possible.

Note: The tractor may have to be moved backward or forward while extending lift cylinders to maintain slack in hydraulic hoses.
