C. Remove parking stands from their storage positions in the boom crosstube as shown in Figure 2-8.

D. Position parking stands in attaching brackets on inside of each loader arm and secure. Figure 2-9.

E. Dismounting procedures will be the reverse of the mounting procedure.

F. Rollback bucket slightly while lowering loader boom down until the parking stands make firm con- tact with ground. Dump bucket until bucket touches the surface.

NOTE

Driving the tractor forward slowly while position- ing loader will allow parking stands to contact ground firmly.
