Mounting Procedure

Be sure to use ELASTIC lock nut to clamp hinge. Tighten elastic lock nut against hinge securely, but to no more than 125 ft.-lbs. torque.

The mounting procedure is basically the reverse of dismounting.

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

2.Connect quick couplers between tractor and loader, matching color coded bands.

Note: Make sure quick couplers are clean, and make sure hinges are blocked open wide by 3/4 x 3-1/2 cap screws in hole provided in each side frame upright.

3.Start tractor engine and release tractor brakes. Slowly drive the tractor ahead while activating lift control lever to retract lift cylinders. Position tractor so hinges hook midmounting bracket tubes as loader side frame uprights rotate.

4.Put the tractor in neutral. Retract the lift cylinders bringing the side frame channels up so front support bracket tube contacts front mounting bracket channel. Move the tractor ahead so front support bracket tube engages in front mounting bracket channel and loader side frame uprights seat properly on midmounting bracket tubes (with no gap between upright cut-out and front of tube). Engage tractor brakes and shut off tractor engine.

5.Remove 3/4 x 3-1/2 cap screw with washer which blocked hinge open and remove elastic lock nut from extra threads on hinge carrier bolt. Clamp hinge of upright around the midmounting tube. Insert 3/4 x 3-1/2 cap screw down through upright and hinge and fasten washer and elastic nut onto cap screw outside of hinge.

6.Hook the rubber strap from hoses to loader support bracket. Reinstall reusable tie straps.
