J. Secure hydraulic hoses to tractor to prevent interference. It is recommended that hoses be rout- ed under tractor operator’s platform.

K. Extend and retract both sets of cylinders beginning with short strokes. Gradually increase the length of stroke until cylinders “bottom out” in each direction. Hold valve open with cylinders “bottomed out” for 3-5 seconds. This will purge air from hydraulic components.

NOTE

When valve control is held open, a squealing noise will be heard when cylinders ”bottom out” and hydraulic oil passes through relief valve. This may cause overheating if valve control is held open longer than 5 seconds.

Make certain optional control valve operates as shown on decal . If valve operation is incorrect, see plumbing diagrams for correct connections.

CAUTION

AIR IN HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS WILL CAUSE ERRATIC LOADER OPERATION. PURGE AIR FROM SYSTEM AS DESCRIBED ABOVE BEFORE WORKING WITH LOADER. FAIULURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

2-3 DISMOUNTING LOADER

Dismount loader on firm, level ground to facilitate the next mounting. It is recommended that loader be stored in a dry place to prevent rusting.

A. Observe the position of boom cylinder mount- ing bushing in relation to the subframe. (Figure 2-6) Remember this position to aid in aligning cross tube with front bracket when loader is being mounted to tractor.

B. Remove parking stands from storage. Raise boom and install as shown in Figure 2-7.
