ASSEMBLY

DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS

Loader assembly is the responsibility of the Woods dealer. The loader is shipped assembled on a pallet for your convenience. The loader must be properly set up and installed to assure prolonged service life and safe operation.

„Keep hands and body away from pressurized lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate skin and will cause serious injury or death.

„Make sure that all operating and service person- nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it must be surgically removed as soon as possible by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan- grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-

TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.

„Do not disconnect hydraulic lines until all sys- tem pressure is relieved. Lower unit to ground, stop engine, and operate all hydraulic control levers.

„Never work under a raised loader. Always lower loader to the ground with bucket or loader attach- ment in full roll-back position. Shut off tractor, set parking brake, and remove key. Operate valve levers to release any hydraulic pressure. If loader obstructs tractor maintenance, loader must be removed from tractor.

„Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo- nents in any way.

CAUTION

„Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Loader Mounting Kit and Hydraulic Kit Installation

Install the loader mounting kit on the tractor according to specific mounting instructions included with the mounting kit and hydraulic kits.

Loader Set-Up

„Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and valves are in good condition and not leaking before starting power unit or using equipment. Check and route hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hoses must not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed, pinched, or come into contact with any moving parts. Operate moveable components through full operational range to check clearances. Replace any damaged hoses immediately.

Lift and support all loader components safely.

Stand clear of the loader while attaching. The loader could fall, causing serious personal injury. Always work safely and think clearly!

Remove bucket and attachment coupler from shipping skid.

Support loader frame and remove lag screws from plates that hold frame on skid. Lower frame to ground.

Using an overhead lifting devise, lift loader frame and position tractor so uprights can be placed onto loader mount. Secure uprights on mounts with pin shipped with frame. Cut shipping straps around boom cylinders and remove spacer angle and protective sleeves.

Refer to Hydraulic Hose Installation in the loader mounting kit. Always use hoses that have a minimum working pressure rating of 3000 psi and meet or exceed SAE 100R1 specifications.

Refer to Control Valve Manual for optional control valve instructions.

Connect loader hoses and start tractor. Clear hydraulic system of air by raising and lowering boom frame and actuating bucket cylinders several times. After air has been purged from system, with loader boom on ground, check the tractor hydraulic oil level as shown in tractor owner's manual. When adding oil to hydraulic system, always use the type of oil specified for the trac- tor. NEVER MIX OIL TYPES.
