3.Start engine and release parking brake. Make sure lift cylinders are extended 10” to 12”. Stroke bucket cylinders to raise or lower uprights for loader 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 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 brake. Insert two 1-1/4 x 7” pins and linch pins.

7.Remove linch pins and hitch pins from parking stands, rotate stands into storage position and secure with hitch pins and linch pins.
