SAFETY
Read and understand all the safety messages listed in this manual. For your safety and
the safety of others near the machine, learn how to control and operate the loader
properly. It is your responsibility to inform subsequent operators and owners of these
precautions.
General Safety Notes:
9Improper use of the loader and tractor can cause serious injury or death.
9Operate the loader while seated in the tractor seat only.
9Keep the work area clear of other persons.
9Never leave the tractor unattended while the attachment is raised. Always lower the
attachment to ground and shut tractor off before leaving the tractor seat.
9Never work beneath a raised loader unless it is securely supported. The control
lever can be moved or a hydraulic leak could cause the loader to drop resulting in
serious injury or death. Refer to the Lift Lock Instructions Decal for proper use of the
lift locks.
9Prior to use, check to ensure the attachment is properly locked to the quick-tach.
Verify from tractor seat by lowering the attachment to the ground and retracting the
lift cylinders.
9Never operate loader with frayed or damaged hoses or leaking fittings. A burst
could cause the loader to drop suddenly and result in serious injury or death and
cause damage to the loader or tractor.
9Keep tractor on solid ground when raising loader. Loose fill rocks and holes can be
dangerous for loader operation and movement.
9If for some reason, you feel the tractor tipping, immediately lower the loader.
9A pivoting front axle acts like a three-wheeled tractor until the stops hit the axle.
9Space rear tires as recommended by the tractor manufacturer. Maximize width for
high lift applications and uneven terrain.
9Add rear ballast as required to ensure 25% of gross vehicle weight is transferred to
the rear axle. Loader, attachment and payload must be included as weight.
9Do not raise attachment to extreme heights while tractor is on an incline. Be alert for
terrain changes and adjust accordingly. Keep attachment at low travel height, no
more than one foot, as long as possible.
9Allow for attachment and loader length when turning.
9The tractor must be equipped with an approved Roll Over Protection Structure
(ROPS) and safety belts.
9Use proper lighting and safety warnings when transporting equipment on public

PRE – OPERATION
WARNINGThe tractor must be equipped with an approved Roll
over Protection Structure (ROPS) and safety belts to help prevent personal injury
or death caused by tractor roll over.
CAUTIONMaximum rated loader capacity may exceed tractor
rating. Load restrictions or reduction in hydraulic operating pressure may be
required for safe operation.
Rops:Do not exceed the manufacturer’s rating for maximum gross vehicle
weight. Refer to the Tractor Manual or the ROPS Serial Decal for rating. Do not
alter or modify the ROPS structure.
Tractor Tires: Space rear tires as recommended by the tractor manufacturer.
Tire inflation and capacity must meet or exceed additional weight of loader,
attachment and payload. Maximize width for high lift applications. Tread width
must not exceed maximum width as recommended in the Mounting Kit Listing.
WARNINGAdd rear ballast to help prevent personal injury or death
caused by tractor roll over.
Rear Ballast: Rear ballast is required to ensure 25% of gross vehicle weight is
transferred to the rear axle. Attachment and load must be included as weight.
Adequate rear weights are required to counterbalance maximum loader capacity
and safe loader operation. Weight can be added as rear tire liquid (calcium
solution), rear wheel weights, rear axle weights and/or three point hitch mounted
ballast or implement. Ballasting will vary with tractor and loader attachment.
Refer to the Tractor Manual for recommended ballasting.

OPERATION
General Operating Notes:The following section provides general
information that can be applied towards your specific application. Ensure that
you’ve read and understood this manual and your Tractor Manual. Observe all
safety precautions and follow local laws pertaining to the use of your loader and
tractor.
Hydraulics: Under normal conditions, operate the tractor’s engine at ½ throttle.
Note: In cold weather, tractors with load sense hydraulic systems require longer
warm-up periods for the loader to respond when valve is operated.
In cold weather, operate the tractor’s engine at idle speed until the hydraulic fluid
is warmed up. Slowly cycle the loader and attachment several times to further
warm the hydraulic fluid. High engine speed when the hydraulic fluid is cold will
cause the pump to wear prematurely and may cause the loader to operate
erratically.
The hydraulic hoses should be connected to
the loader valve such that pushing forward on
handles lowers the loader or dumps the
attachment. When using the Allied RemoteHydraulic Control pushing forward should
lower the loader while pushing directly right
should dump the attachment.
TheAllied Remote Hydraulic Control is
equipped with a momentary push button
switch and a lock. The push button is for
operating a third function when an electric
diverter is installed. The third function is
normally for operating a grapple. When the
button is depressed the valve ports are open
to the grapple cylinders. Shifting the joystick
to the left while button is depressed will close
the grapple and shifting to the right will open.
IMPORTANT: Always feather the grapple
when closing or opening to avoid
unnecessary shock loads on grapple
components.
WARNING
Keep grapple closed at all times when bucket
is empty and carry bucket low to the ground.
Avoid operating near power wires.

Allied Front-End Loader
All Buhler-Allied hydraulic valves are self-centering and return to neutral from all
positions except float. The float or detent spool is only to be used on the boom
circuit. This position allows the oil to freely flow through the valve so the lift
cylinders can extend or retract. It can be engaged by slightly pushing control
beyond full lower. Float will allow for the loader to lower and rise as the
attachment follows the ground contours. To disengage float, slightly pull control
back towards the neutral position. The Allied Remote Hydraulic Control can be
locked in the neutral position to minimize unintentional movement.
CAUTIONLower and dump heavy loads slowly by feathering.
Stop tractor movement gradually. Never drop a loaded attachment and “catch”
hydraulically. Stopping with such downward momentum may cause damage to
the loader or tractor.
When handling heavy loads be sure to raise and lower the loader slowly while
leveling the attachment as required.Feathering can assist in accurately
controlling operations by regulating oil flow through cylinders.
A third function hydraulic control is available for grapple or other hydraulic
applications. An optional divertor valve is connected to the loader attachment
spool and is operated via the Allied Remote Hydraulic Control momentary switch
and simultaneously engaging the bucket spool through dump or rollback.
Bucket:
When loading a bucket, approach straight
and enter the pile with a level bucket parallel
to the line of motion.
IMPORTANT:Attempting to turn while
loading may cause damage to the loader or
tractor.
Work controls to raise and rollback the bucket
simultaneously. The combined actions of lift
and bucket cylinders increases loading
efficiency and minimizes resistance to lift.
NOTE:On tractors with low hydraulic oil
flows, both functions may not be possible

MAINTENANCE
General Inspection:
CAUTION Lower attachment and loader to ground, place all
controls in neutral, stop engine, set parking brake and remove ignition key before
inspecting, servicing, adjusting or repairing loader.
WARNING Relieve hydraulic pressure before repairing, adjusting
or disconnecting hydraulics components. Escaping hydraulic oil can penetrate
skin causing serious personal injury. If injured consult a physician immediately.
WARNING Never work beneath a raised loader unless it is
securely supported. The control lever can be moved or a hydraulic leak could
cause the loader to drop resulting in serious injury or death. Refer to the
Hydraulic Lift Lock Instructions Decal for proper use of the lift lock.
Hydraulic Lift Lock: The lift lock on your loader is to be used whenever
someone is attempting to be under the loader or for tractor servicing. When
using the lock ensure loader is free of any load in the loader attachment or no
attachment.
To engage hydraulic lift lock, raise loader to
desired service height. Rotate lever on
hydraulic lock 90o clockwise to lock. Then lock
joystick in neutral position. Do not use if there
are any hydraulic leaks.
Pins and Bushings: Every 6 months or 1000 hours check loader and cylinder
pivots for movement that would be due to bushing or pin wear. Change bushings
when excessive movement is noticed and replace any worn or rough surfaced
pins.

Mounting Kit:
After the initial 2 weeks or 40 hours of loader operation, and 6-month intervals
thereafter re-torque all mounting kit bolts. (See below for proper bolt torques)
have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing
serious personal injury. Before repairing, adjusting, or
disconnecting lines, be sure to relieve all pressure.
Before applying pressure to the system, be sure all
connections are tight and the lines, pipes, and hoses are
not damaged.
Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for
leaks. Use a piece of wood or cardboard instead of hand
to check for leaks.
Maintain all components in good working order.
If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious
infection or toxic reaction can develop if proper medical
treatment is not administered immediately.
With loader attachment on the ground, check and add if necessary the approved
hydraulic fluid. Refer to the Tractor Manual for proper inspection of fluid level, oil
type and service intervals. Visually check hoses and fittings for leaks and
damage on a daily bases. Ensure hoses do not bind or stretch during operation.
Always keep hoses tied or supported to prevent rubbing against sharp areas or
being pinched. We suggest using tie wraps to support hoses. Hoses routed
from steel lines to cylinders should be in a relaxed position. To correct, loosen
swivel end of hose and retighten.
WARNING Never operate the loader with frayed or damaged hoses
or leaking fittings. A burst would cause the loader to drop suddenly and result in
serious injury or death and cause damage to the loader or tractor.
Replacement hoses must be equal to a working pressure of 3000 P.S.I. or
higher.

A yearly inspection of the valve is recommended. However the maintenance
intervals on the valve depends on the surrounding environment or if valve spools
become stiff. Where temperatures fluctuate from one extreme to another or
exposed to high salt the intervals for maintenance should be increased to protect
from corrosion.
On non-cab tractors mounted with the joystick valve, slip back the boot and clean
away any debris. Spray a corrosion resistant lubricant and remount the boot.
Replace a torn or cracked boot.
WARNING Shut tractor down and relieve oil pressure in system by
moving the control valve spools in both directions before doing any maintenance.
Maintenance involves yearly removal of valve spool end caps and cleaning all
debris and corrosion. Spray area with a corrosive resistant lubricant and recap.
CAUTION Never use grease to lubricate valve components where
climate temperature drops below 0qC as this could cause spools to jam.

TSL GENERAL NOTE AND INSTRUCTIONS
1. The true self leveling system (TSL) utilizes mechanical linkages to
maintain bucket level while raising and lowering. The pivot plate
weldment, leveling tubes and linkages have been developed to ensure
that the bucket remains at the same position throughout its range of
motion. This feature is standard with 2.50” and 3.00” diameter bucket
cylinders.
2. The TSL system incorporates a relief and anticavitation manifold to
provide extra dump at ground and rollback at full lift height. This feature is
available on 3.00” bucket cylinders only. If the loader is raised with the bucket fully dumped, oil from the bucket piston side will be bypassed at
high pressure to the bucket shaft side and the lift shaft side as the quick
attach contacts the dump stop. If the loader is lowered with the bucket fully rolled back, oil from the bucket shaft side will be bypassed at high
pressure to the bucket piston side and the lift piston side will provide
makeup as the quick attach contact the rollback stop. Note that these two
conditions are likely to occur intermittently and although the pump will be
forced to supply oil at a higher pressure, no damage to the loader
components will occur. It is, however, recommended to avoid the above
situations and keep the bucket somewhat level while raising or lowering
the loader for smoother operation.
3. The extra bucket stroke length allows for the bucket to be dumped to
approximately 90 degrees at ground. This allows for bucket assist when
traction is minimal. If the loader is raised from this position, the bucket will
retract as the quick attach contacts the dump stop and the circuit goes
through relief as described in note 2.
4. Extra bucket retraction allows for the bucket to be rolled back as the
loader raises. The TSL feature maintains the bucket level, but as required
the bucket can be manually rolled back approximately 20 degrees to allow
for increased bucket capacity. If the loader is lowered from this position,
the bucket will extend as the quick attach contacts the rollback stop and
the circuit goes through relief as described in note 2.
5. The relief valve is factory set at 3250 PSI cracking pressure and is
capable of bypassing 10-15 GPM. If loader lock-up should occur due to a
low tractor relief setting, higher inlet flows or return line restrictions, the
relief valve may be backed off slightly until the lock-up condition is
overcome (counterclockwise turn of set-screw). Contact the factory for
further instructions.

Description Page
2895-2895 S
Main Frame Assembly ............................................................................... 32
Large attachments (such as the C2000
Grapple) may contact the S2895 or
2895 TSL pivot plate. This can occur if
the loader is fully rolled back. This
interference is avoided in factory
assembly. The loader linkage can be
reversed to increase attachment
rollback if large attachments are not
used. See following description below
to reverse links.
Before reversing the linkage remove
attachments and engage the hydraulic
loader lock (refer to page 23 for
hydraulic loader lock instructions).
Refer to pages 36 and 37 for
corresponding item and part numbers.
Remove 1.25 x 7.25 pin item 40
connecting the linkages items 11, and
12.
Remove 1.25 x 6.25 pin connecting
the linkage item 12 to the quick attach
item 2.
Reverse the (4) linkages, and reinstall
pins and quick attach.
