operate. Make sure you check all controls in a safe area before starting.
Read this manual completely and thoroughly and make sure you understand all controls. All
equipment has a limit. Make sure you are aware of the stability and load characteristics of this
loader before you begin operation.
The safety information given in this manual does not replace any safety codes, insurance
needs, federal, state and local laws. Make sure your machine has the correct equipment
required by your local laws and regulations.
This safety alert symbol indicates important safety
messages in this manual. When you see this symbol,
carefully read the message that follows and be alert to the
possibility of personal injury or death.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before starting the engine of your tractor, make sure all operating controls are in park lock or
neutral position
Operate controls only when seated in the operator’s seat.
Equip your tractor with a ROPS cab or frame for your protection. See your tractor operator’s
manual for correct seat belt usage.
A frequent cause of personal injury or death is persons falling off and being run over. Do not
permit others to ride on your tractor. Only one person, the operator, should be on the machine
when it is in operation.
Before leaving the tractor, stop the engine, put all controls in neutral, engage the parking brake
and remove the key from the ignition.
When using remote hydraulic tractor valves on some tractors, the loader lift and dump cylinders
will continue moving unless the control levers are manually returned to neutral, or until relief
pressure is reached at the ends of piston strokes. Observe the bucket movement and maintain
control with the control levers.
Stop the loader arms gradually when lowering or lifting loads.
Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation. Shift down before you start up or down a hill with
a heavy load. Avoid “free wheeling”.

16 Series, Model - 2816
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Travel speed should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all
times. Where possible, avoid operating near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed
when turning, crossing slopes, and on rough, slick or muddy surfaces.
Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood for this purpose. Escaping hydraulic oil or diesel fuel leaking under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause infection or other injury. If injured by leaking
fluid, seek medical attention immediately.
To prevent personal injury, relieve all pressure before disconnecting fluid lines.
Before applying hydraulic pressure, make sure all hydraulic connections are tight and
components are in good condition.
Contact with overhead power lines can cause severe electrical burns or death from
electrocution. Make sure there is enough clearance between raised equipment and overhead
power lines.
Add recommended rear tire liquid weight or rear wheel weights for increased stability.
A loader attachment should be transported in a low position at slow ground speeds. Make turns
slowly and use the tractor brakes cautiously. A loaded attachment in the raised position alters
the center of gravity location of the machine and increases the possibility of mishaps.
Do not stand, walk or work under a raised loader or attachment unless it is securely blocked or
held in position. Accidental movement of a control lever or leak in the hydraulic system could
cause the loader to drop, or attachment to dump, causing severe injury.
Make sure all parked loaders on stands are on a hard level surface with all safety devices
engaged to prevent loader from falling and being damaged or injuring someone.
When using a loader, be alert of bucket position at all times. Loader in raised position with
bucket rolled back can dump material on tractor causing damage or injury to tractor and /or
operator.
Always park loader with bucket attached to loader.

TRACTOR PREPARATION
Rear Counterweight
CAUTION: Add recommended rear tire liquid weight, rear wheel or rear
ballast for increased stability.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the manufacturer’s rating for maximum gross
vehicle weight. Refer to Operator’s Manual or ROPS serial plate
provided with tractor.
The use of adequate counterweight to counter balance for maximum loader capacity is required
for safe loader operation.
Weight added to rear of the tractor provides better traction and easier, more efficient loader
operation. The tractor can be counterweighted by filling rear tires with liquid calcium solution
and/or by the installation of rear wheel weights.
Additional counterweight requirements will vary with loader attachments and equipment
applications. Additional weight can be added by installation of Three Point Hitch mounted
ballast.
CAUTION: Certain specific conditions may not permit safe use of loader
at loader rating or may require more careful restricted operation at the
rated load.
Refer to Tractor Operator’s Manual for specific recommendations on counterweighting tractor.
ROPS System
The tractor must be equipped with an approved ROPS System to ensure adequate operator’s
protection.
Tractor Hydraulic System
Tractor operation in a loader application significantly increases demands on the tractor
Hydraulic System. Check the tractor Hydraulic system fluid level daily. Refer to your tractor
Operator’s Manual maintenance section for instructions regarding tractor hydraulic system
maintenance.
Adhere to recommendations in your Tractor Operator’s Manual concerning hydraulic fluid and
filter specifications, and change intervals.
CAUTION: The tractor/loader must only be operated with all safety
equipment properly installed.
10
16 Series, Model - 2816
TRACTOR PREPARATION
TRACTOR TIRES
Selection of tires (size, profile, tread type) should be restricted to tire recommendations as
specified by Mahindra U.S.A.
Tire Inflation
Front tires must be maintained at the maximum recommended inflation to maintain normal tire
profile with the added weight of loader/material.
Rear tires must be maintained at equal pressure within the recommended tire inflation range.
Unequal rear tire inflation can prevent loader attachment from contacting the ground across its
full width.
Wheel Tread Settings
Tractor front wheel tread settings must be restricted to wheel tread spacing recommended in the
Tractor Operator’s Manual.
Front Counterweight
Use of front counterweight is not recommended when tractor is being used in a loader
application.
Front counterweight adds unnecessary front axle load in loader applications.
11
16 Series, Model - 2816
LOADER OPERATION
CAUTION: The tractor/loader should only be operated with all safety
equipment properly installed.
Precautionary Notes
Do not lower the edge of the bucket too low for loading. Keep the bottom of the bucket level
with the ground when loading.
Important:
Do not use the bucket for pushing down material with bucket cylinders partially extended.
Damage to the cylinders may result.
Important:
When back grading the angle between the bottom of the
bucket and the ground must not be more than 15 degrees.
Refer to Figure. Failure to follow these instructions could
cause loader attachment cylinders to fail and void warranty.
Important:
Operation with front tractor wheels off the ground is not
recommended. 15 degrees.
Position vehicle to be loaded as near the pile as possible and in such a direction as to minimize
the amount of tractor turning required to dump.
Do not lower the loader with the tractor engine shut off.
Keep the unit clean and perform regular service. Observe safety messages whenever cleaning,
servicing, or lubricating.
We urge you to follow this advice:
1. Read and understand this manual as well as the Tractor Operator’s Manual.
2. Remember and observe the Safety Precautions brought to your attention in this manual, the
tractor manual and on the machinery itself.
3. Use good common sense in the everyday operation of this unit. Safety recommendations
can never be all-inclusive and you are responsible for watching out for and avoiding unsafe
conditions.
4. Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job or to do so safely is
in question, don’t try it.
5. Don’t hurry the learning process or take the unit for granted. Ease into it and become
familiar with your new loader and tractor.
CAUTION: When lowering a heavy load, ease it downward slowly.
Never drop a loaded attachment and “catch it hydraulically. Stopping a
load after it has gained downward momentum places undue strain on
the unit and may cause unnecessary damage to the loader or tractor or
even worse, personal injury.

16 Series, Model - 2816
LOADER OPERATION
Initial Loader Operation
Before operating the loader, fully raise and lower the boom two or three times. Then raise the
bucket approximately four (4) feet above the ground and cycle the bucket cylinders three times.
Lower the bucket to the ground. Check the tractor hydraulic oil and the correct oil level.
Always keep cylinders in a retracted position when the loader is not in use to guard against rust
and contamination which may cause damage to the cylinder rods or hydraulic system.
Cold Weather Operation
For smooth operation in cold weather, let the tractor warm up. SLOWLY cycle the lift and
bucket cylinders several times to warm the oil in the hydraulic system. The loader may operate
erratically until the hydraulic oil has warmed to operating temperatures.
CAUTION: Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, relieve all hydraulic
pressure. Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can have sufficient
force to penetrate the skin causing serious personal injury. If injured by
escaping hydraulic oil seek medical attention immediately.
CAUTION: Do not operate the loader if the fittings are leaking or if the
hoses are damaged. A sudden line burst would cause the mainframe to
drop suddenly, causing damage to the tractor or loader or injury to
personnel.
CAUTION: Before leaving the machine, stop the engine, remove the key,
place all controls in neutral, and either set the parking brake or place
tractor in park as equipped.
CAUTION: Operate controls only when seated in the operator’s seat.
Loading Bucket
For the most efficient loading, slowly drive the tractor straight into the material to be loaded and
increase speed only after contact has been made. Roll the attachment back a small amount
and slowly lift to break away the material. As the load increases, continue rolling the attachment
back so as to get the maximum load. Remove the top levels first when loading from large piles
of material. When bucket is full, raise loader so the bucket is clear of material and slowly back
out of the pile.
Dumping Bucket
When in the dump area slowly drive the tractor forward and raise the loader at the same time.
Raise the loader to the height needed to dump the bucket. Make sure to keep a level bucket
position to prevent spilling from the bucket. Dump the bucket, and keep all movements smooth.

16 Series, Model - 2816
LOADER OPERATION
g
Transporting a Loaded Bucket
Transport material with the bucket as low as possible to prevent spilling and keep maximum
stability. The loader must be in a position that will not block the operators’ vision. A loaded
bucket must not be transported in the upright position or at excessive speed.
Observe the following safety warnings when transporting a loaded bucket.
CAUTION: When usin
When raising a loader with bucket rolled back, material can dump onto
tractor causing damage to tractor or injury to operator.
WARNING: Contact with overhead power lines can cause severe
electrical burns or death from electrocution. Make sure there is
clearance between raised equipment and overhead power lines.
CAUTION: Stop the loader arms gradually when lowering or lifting.
WARNING: A loaded Bucket should be transported in a low position at
low ground speeds. Make turns slowly and use the tractor brakes
cautiously. A full bucket in the raised position alters the center of
gravity location of the machine and increases the possibility of
accidents.
CAUTION: Do not stand, walk or work under a raised loader unless it is
securely blocked or held in position. Accidental movement of a control
lever or leak in the hydraulic system could cause the loader to drop, or
attachment to dump, resulting in serious injury or death.
Important:
Contaminates in hydraulic oil can cause valve spools to stick. Be alert when operating loader
and follow your Tractor Operator’s Manual maintenance schedule.
Scraping
When scraping, the float position must be used to keep the bucket on the ground and at the
same time let the bucket follow ground contours. The bucket must be kept level to the ground
during scraping operations.
Backfilling/Backgrading
When “Backfilling” or “Backgrading”, position the bucket so it is level on the ground. Do not
dump material from bucket following each pass, as additional weight of material in bucket will
assist in “Backgrading” and increases loader efficiency during “Backfilling”.
Controlled Rate of Loader Functions
By “feathering” the control lever, reduced operational speeds can be controlled. This action
controls the position of the valve spool in the valve body and regulates flow of oil to/from
cylinders. It is important to utilize this operational practice when lowering loader boom when the
bucket is loaded with material.
a loader, be aware of bucket location at all times.
