Storage

Never crawl under or allow children to play around or on a loader that is disconnected from the tractor. The loader could fall crushing a person resulting in serious injury or death. (SL-13)

Do not remove the attachment from the loader when the loader is disconnected from the tractor. The attachment stabilizes the loader. If the attachment is removed, the loader will fall and could result in serious injury.

Only disconnect and store the loader on firm flat ground. Make sure the loader stands are properly installed and rest on firm ground or support blocks. If the stands sink or fail, the loader could fall causing serious injury.

NOTE: When loader hydraulics are disconnected from tractor, the tractor hydraulic circuit must be completed. Failure to do so will result in tractor hydraulic pump damage.

1.Store loader with attachment securely attached.

2. Place dust caps on hydraulic quick couplers.
