Dismounting Loader and Mounting Loader to Tractor

Dismounting Loader

To avoid injury during installation of loader:

•Place loader bucket against barrier to restrict forward movement of loader.

•Do not permit bystanders within 15 feet of loader.

Loader must be equipped with a bucket or other optional attachment to dismount from tractor.

When dismounting loader, maintain clearance between loader side frames and tractor hood and front axle.

]It is important not to put excessive weight on parking stands with lift cylinder retraction. Damage may result.

1.Locate tractor and loader on firm level ground.

2.With bucket raised above ground, tilt bucket down approximately 30° from level.

3.Lower boom by retracting lift cylinders to lift tractor front end (tires can be off ground).

4.Stop engine. Allow tractor front end to lower by relaxing ONLY lift cylinders with control lever. This will remove pressure on hitch pins. See Figure Asm-L-0025.

Note: Do not relax bucket cylinders.

5.Set parking brake. Rotate parking stands from storage position by removing linch pins and clevis pins. Reinstall clevis pins and linch pins when parking stands are in operation position (See Figure Asm-L-0024).
