Mounting Loader

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

Mounting is basically reverse of dismounting.

1.Slowly drive tractor into loader approximately 6” from loader mounts. Shut off tractor engine and set parking brake.

2.Connect hydraulic hoses. Make sure couplers are clean before connecting together.

3.Start engine and release parking brake. Make sure lift cylinders are extended 6” to 8”. Stroke bucket cylinders to raise or lower upright pin to clear each front mount pin saddle by approximately 1” (See Figure Asm-L-0003).

4.Drive tractor forward until loader upright pins contact mount vertical stop surfaces just above the mount pin saddles (See Figure Asm-L-0003). 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).

5.Stop engine. Allow tractor front end to lower by relaxing ONLY lift cylinders with control lever.

6.Set parking braket. Insert two 1” hitch pins and linch pins.

7.Remove linch pins and clevis pins from parking stands, rotate stands into storage position and secure with clevis pins and linch pins (See Figure Asm-L-0015).

Note: If front wheel spacings were changed while loader was off tractor, tire clearances must be checked and possibly adjusted to ensure proper clearances.
