Extend bucket cylinders to FULLY seat both loader upright pins into mount pin saddles and raise parking stands off ground. Retract lift cylinders, allowing tractor to move forward. Continue until loader uprights have fully seated into back of mount tube saddles by retracting lift cylinders to raise tractor front end (tires can be off ground).
