ASSEMBLY

Do not use an attachment that is not securely attached to the quick hitch, The attachment could fall resulting in severe crushing injuries or death to the operator or bystanders.

•Rotate both hitch pin levers down to the locked position. You should feel a firm resistance when locking the levers down. The pins must extend through the slots in the bottom of the attachment bracket.

•Examine the fit between the quick hitch and the bottom of the attachment bracket. The pins must extend through the slots in the bottom of the attachment bracket. The tapered side of each pin must be firmly wedged against the surface of the slot on the bottom of the attachment bracket. The attachment bucket should fit snugly against the bottom of the quick hitch bracket. If there is a gap of more than 1/8” or if the pins are not firmly seated do not use the attachment. Contact your dealer before using the attachment.

•On level ground, tilt the attachment down 90° degrees and lower it to the ground. Lower the loader further to slightly raise the front of the tractor off the ground. Drive the tractor in reverse while the attachment is on the ground for 20-30 feet to ensure the attachment does not disconnect. If the attachment disconnects during this process, discontinue the use of the attachment and contact your dealer.

NEVER walk or work under or allow any person to be underneath a raised loader or attachment.

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.
