INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
ASSEMBLY (continued)
Remove the bucket from your front end loader. Check your loader to make sure it is in good working order. Check all frame mounting bolts to make sure they are tight.
Loaders that attach to the tractor frame rails should have a
Refer to the “exploded view” of the Loader Fork on page 18 of this manual.
Assemble the two lift brackets (Ref. #3) on the main frame (Ref. #1) with the 5/8” x 3” I.D.
ASSEMBLY – QUICK ATTACH
If your tractor loader has a bucket Quick Attach feature, check with your dealer on the availability of adapter brackets for your brand and model loader.
Measure the width of the front adapter on your loader and locate the Quick Attach brackets on the main frame. Locate these brackets so the main frame will be centered on your loader.
Tighten the
NOTE: The lift channel brackets are supplied with 1” diameter pins to fit your loader. If your loader requires 11/8” pins, it will be necessary for the hole diameter in the channel brackets to be drilled out to 15/32” (1.156”) and ask your dealer to order 11/8” diameter pins. The 11/8” pins are part #830318. Be sure to indicate if two or four 11/8” pins are required.
If your loader requires 11/4” diameter pins, please ask your dealer to order adapter bushings (part #830319). Be sure to indicate how many adapter bushings are required.
NOTE: The Ford (New Holland) models 7109, 7209, 7210, 7309, 7310 and 7410 Pin Type Loaders require special brackets. Also, Rhino (Alamo) models 2410 and 2491. Order #830330 bracket kit.
NOTE: For loaders that require brackets that provide additional roll back, order #830335 (1” pins).
Connect the above assembly to the loader arms using the bottom hole in the channel and attach the upper con- trol cylinder to the top hole in the lift channels. Center the main frame (side to side) with your loader arms and tighten the four (4) 5/8” x 3”
The lower hole positions in the lift channels can be used to obtain more angle movement. However, if the frame becomes too parallel with the loader lift arms, the loader may not have enough power (mechanical advantage) to bring the frame back.
NOTE: Generally, it is not recommended to have the tilt cylinders located any closer than
If tilt cylinders are located too close to the loader arms, they may go “over center” when fully extended. If this happens, damage may occur to the cylinders and/or mounting brackets.
ASSEMBLY – TRACTOR LOADERS
Install the pallet forks on the main frame. The forks go on in the center of the main frame and then are slid to the right or left side.
NOTE: Smearing a light coat of grease on the main frame rails will make adjusting the fork width easier.
IMPORTANT: Keep forklift tines adjusted to maximum width for better load stability.
