Assembly Instructions

To avoid injury during installation of the loader attachment, do not allow bystanders within 10 feet of loader or attachment.

Always wear safety glasses when removing or installing buckets.

Always use a drift and hammer made of non-sparking material (a shot-filled mallet is recommended) to install or remove pins. A steel hammer or drift could generate flying metal fragments and result in injury. Always wear safety glasses when using a hammer to remove or install pins.

Always have a heavy attachment, such as a bucket mounted on loader when it is removed from tractor.

It is important not to put excessive weight on parking stands with lift cylinder retraction. Damage may result.

Never allow anyone to get under the loader or attachment or to reach through the loader lift arms when raised. Serious injury could result from crushing or pinching by the loader or attachment. (SL-06)

Make sure the loader is properly attached to the tractor and the retaining pins securely lock the loader into position. Improper mounting of the loader onto the tractor can result in the loader falling causing serious injury.

Only mount the loader on a tractor that is listed on the mounting instructions. Never mount on a tricycle steering front axle. Move the tractor front and rear wheels to the widest spacing and add the recommended rear tractor ballast to prevent tractor tip over. Keep the tractor tires properly inflated. Maintain at least 25% of the total Tractor and Loader weight including the maximum load in the bucket or attachment on the rear axle. Always wear your seatbelt and make sure the ROPS structure is fully deployed to prevent serious injury or death from the tractor tipping over.

Make sure all air is purged from the hydraulic system before using the loader. Air in the system can cause the loader to respond sluggishly or with unexpected movement. The air can be purged from the cylinder lines by fully cycling the cylinders several times from the fully closed to fully open position. Sudden or unexpected movement or dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious injury.
