35. Allow for the loader length when making turns.
36. Use caution when handling loose or unstable loads.
37. Gradually stop the loader boom when lowering or lifting loads.
38. When using remote hydraulic tractor valves on some tractors, the loader lift and dump cylinders will continue
moving unless the valve handle/handles 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 valve handle/handles.
39. 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.
40. 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.
41. Be careful during loading, transporting, and stacking to minimize rolling bales and tractor tip over.
42. Do not use buckets, forks, or other attachments without bale retaining devices.
43. Operate the tractor and loader such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times.
44. When using a loader, be alert of bucket or attachment position at all times. Loader in raised position with
bucket or attachment rolled back can dump material onto tractor causing damage or injury to tractor and/or
operator.
LARGE HEAVY OBJECTS
45. Never use loader for handling large heavy objects, such as large round or rectangular bales, logs, and oil
drums unless loader is equipped with attachment that is designed to handle such objects.
46. Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to danger of rolling the tractor over.
47. Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to danger of upending the tractor.
48. Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to danger of the object rolling or sliding down
the loader boom onto the operator.
5
49. If you must handle large heavy objects, protect yourself by using caution, moving slowly, and avoiding bumps
and rough ground.
50. If you must handle large heavy objects, protect yourself by never lifting load higher than necessary to clear
the ground.
51. If you must handle large heavy objects, protect yourself by adding rear ballast to the tractor to compensate for
weight of load.
52. If you must handle large heavy objects, protect yourself by never lifting large heavy objects that may roll or fall
on the operator.
53. Never lift any load from any point of the loader with a chain, rope, or cable unless loader is equipped with a
Factory approved attachment that was designed and built for this type of lifting. Always follow lifting
instructions included with these attachments.
54. Use only Factory bale probe or bale retaining devise handler attachment when handling round bales.
55. Do not handle large square bales without a retaining device handler attachment.
56. Do not use buckets, forks, or other attachments without bale retaining devices.
57. Do not use loader for handling large, heavy objects such as logs, tanks, etc.

65. 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.
HYDRAULIC
66. Do not tamper with the relief valve setting. This will void warranty and could cause damage to loader and/or
tractor.
67. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious
personal injury. Do not use HANDS to search for suspected leaks. If injured by escaping fluid, obtain medical
treatment immediately.
68. Visually check for hydraulic leaks and broken, missing, or malfunctioning parts. Never use your hand to check
for suspected leaks under pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or wood for this purpose. Escaping hydraulic
fluid or diesel fuel leaking under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious
infection or other personal injury. If injured by leaking fluid, seek medical attention immediately.
69. To prevent personal injury, relieve all pressure before disconnecting fluid lines.
70. Before applying hydraulic pressure, make sure all hydraulic connections are tight and components are in
good condition.
71. Be sure to purge all the air from the hydraulic system before attempting to raise or lower this machine.
72. When using remote hydraulic tractor valves on some tractors, the loader lift and dump cylinders will continue
moving unless the valve handle/handles are manually returned to neutral, or until relief pressure is reached at
the ends of piston strokes. Observe the bucket or attachment movement and maintain control with valve
handle/handles.
73. Raised loader or boom can fall due to hydraulic system failure.
74. To avoid serious injury or death: Block up or securely support loader and boom before working underneath.

3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Equip your tractor with a ROPS cab or frame for your protection. See your
tractor/ROPS Operator Manual for correct seat belt usage.
Read entire instructions before beginning to install the loader. Personal injury and machine damage may be
prevented if you read and understand these instructions and special safety messages.
When you are in the tractor seat looking forward, the RH and LH sides of the tractor and loader are the same as
your right hand and left hand.
3.1. TRACTOR PREPARATION
3.1.1. Tractor Front Tires
Use front tires of equal size and maintain equal pressure in each tire. The pressure of the front tractor tires must
be increased to the maximum approved pressure recommended by the tire manufacturer to compensate for
additional load placed on the tires with the Front End Loader. See your tractor Operator Manual. Adjust the front
tires to the widest recommended setting on adjustable models for maximum stability. Front end weights must NOT
be used while loader is on the tractor.
3.1.2. Tractor Rear Tires
Maintain equal pressure in each of the rear tires. Use the widest recommended rear wheel setting for maximum
stability.
3.1.3. Tractor Ballast
CAUTION: To help prevent rollover, use recommended rear tractor ballast and widest wheel
settings to maximize stability. See your tractor Operator Manual for recommendations
Front tractor weights must only be used when the loader is parked. Weights must be removed before remounting
loader or serious damage will occur to loader or tractor front axle due to excessive weight.
The use of adequate rear counterweight to counterbalance for maximum loader capacity is required for safe
loader operation. Weight added to the rear of the tractor provides better traction and easier, more efficient loader
operation.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of the tires on your tractor. See Tire and Wheel
Specifications in tractor Operator Manual for more information.
3.1.4. Remove all loader components from shipping packaging.
WARNING: To avoid serious injury or death: Read before cutting bands or removing attaching

4. PRE-OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1. HYDRAULIC FLUID
Check the tractor hydraulic fluid level and fill, if required.
4.2. INITIAL LOADER OPERATION
NOTE: If any loader cavitation is noticed during loader operation, check tractor hydraulic fluid level and
correct.
NOTE: Keep engine speed at low idle during the initial loader operation.
CAUTION: Escaping hydraulic fluid under
pressure can have sufficient force to
penetrate skin, causing serious personal
injury. Before disconnecting lines, be sure
to relieve all pressure.ı Before applying
pressure to system, be sure all connections
are tight and that lines, tubes, and hoses
are not damaged.ı Fluid escaping from a
very small hole can be almost invisible. Use
a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than
hands, to search for suspected leaks.ı If
injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at
once. Serious infection or reaction can
develop if proper medical treatment is not
administered immediately.

4.3. EXTERNAL LOADER VALVE
CAUTION: When properly installed, the loader valve handle will control loader hydraulic circuits
as described below.
IMPORTANT: Contaminants in hydraulic fluid can cause valve spools to stick. BE ALERT when operating
loader and follow your tractor Operator Manual hydraulic fluid maintenance schedule.
4.4. LOADER MOUNTED VALVE EQUIPPED WITH SINGLE HANDLE CONTROL
4.4.1. Your loader utilizes a tractor mounted valve equipped with a single handle controller. It will function as
described.
Number 3 Position:
Push the handle full
forward to activate
float position.
Number 2 Position: Push
the handle forward
to lower loader.
Number 1 Position:
Pull the handle back
to raise loader.
Number 6 Position:
Push the handle full
outward to activate
regen position which will
dump attachment at a
faster rate.
Number 5 Position:
Push the handle outward
to dump attachment.
Number 4 Position:
Pull the handle inward
to roll back attachment.
28
4.5. NEUTRAL POSITION
The loader external valve has a "neutral position" which prevents movement of the loader or attachment. When
the valve handle is manually released from the work position, the valve spool will return to the neutral position.
4.6. FLOAT POSITION
The loader valve has a "float position" incorporated into the lift cylinder circuit which allows the loader to float. This
float feature is important for satisfactory operation when scraping, sweeping, leveling, or any job where it is
necessary to follow the contour of the surface. To activate float position, lower the bucket or attachment and push
the valve handle all the way forward into detent. The valve will stay in float detent position until the operator
manually pulls the valve handle out of detent position to deactivate float.
4.7. REGENERATIVE DUMPING POSITION
The loader valve has a "Feel Position Regenerative Spool" incorporated in the attachment spool. The tilt cylinders
must be connected to this spool allowing the operator to choose normal dump or fast dump during loader
operation.
NOTE: Use normal dump position when digging with loader. This will allow operator to put full tractor
weight on cutting edge during this operation. The regenerative function can then be used when dumping
load from bucket.
NOTE: Valve circuits must be hooked up correctly to allow regen to operate correctly.
IMPORTANT: If the bucket or attachment does not operate as indicated on the directional decal, lower the
bucket to the ground, stop the engine, and relieve all hydraulic pressure. Recheck hydraulic circuit
hookup to loader valve and correct.
NOTE: Use of regen function during dumping will eliminate attachment cylinder cavitation, which will
reduce or eliminate any free movement of bucket or attachment during loader operation.
CAUTION: Do not tamper with relief valve setting. The relief valve is pre-set at the factory.
Changing the setting can cause overloading of the loader and tractor, which may result in serious
injury.
4.8. INITIAL LOADER OPERATION
NOTE: Keep engine speed at low idle during the initial loader operation.
Before operating the loader, fully raise and lower the boom two or three times. Then raise the loader bucket
approximately four (4) feet above the ground and cycle the tilt cylinders two or three times. Lower the bucket or
attachment to the ground. Check the tractor hydraulic fluid level and fill as required. Refer to the tractor Operator
Manual for the proper hydraulic fluid and the correct hydraulic fluid level.
CAUTION: Before leaving the tractor seat, lower attachment or loader boom to ground, stop
engine, lock brakes, relieve hydraulic pressure, and remove key.
IMPORTANT: Always keep the 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 and hydraulic system.
4.9. REMOVING AIR FROM HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Repeat raising and lowering the loader boom and bucket until all the air is removed from the system and the
system responds properly.
Check the tractor hydraulic fluid level and fill, if required.
29
5. DAILY MAINTENANCE & LUBRICATION
5.1. DAILY CHECKS
5.1.1. Check all hardware daily before operation. Tighten hardware to torque values as specified in the Torque
Chart, page 62 unless otherwise specified.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To prevent mounting kit hardware from loosening during operation always torque
mounting kit hardware to specified torque noted in Loader Operator Manual. Check bolt torque every 50
hours of loader operation.
5.1.2. With the engine off and the bucket on the ground, inspect all hoses for cuts or wear. Check for signs of
leaks and make sure all fittings are tight.
CAUTION: Escaping hydraulic fluid under
pressure can have sufficient force to
penetrate skin, causing serious personal
injury. Before disconnecting lines, be sure
to relieve all pressure.ı Before applying
pressure to system, be sure all connections
are tight and that lines, tubes, and hoses
are not damaged.ı Fluid escaping from a
very small hole can be almost invisible. Use
a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than
hands, to search for suspected leaks.ı If
injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at
once. Serious infection or reaction can
develop if proper medical treatment is not
administered immediately.
5.1.3. Service your loader at the intervals and locations as specified. When you service your loader, use only high
quality lubricants. The engine hour meter on the tractor shows the amount of hours the engine has worked. Use
the hour meter to service your loader at the correct time periods.
Cardboard
Hydraulic
Line

Glass
IMPORTANT: Lower the loader boom to the ground and relieve pressure in loader hydraulic lines prior to
doing any service or maintenance operations on the tractor or loader.
Check the tractor hydraulic fluid level as specified in the tractor Operator Manual.
NOTE: When checking hydraulic system fluid level, the loader boom must be on the ground with the
bucket or attachment resting flat on a level surface.
5.2. LOADER LUBRICATION
5.2.1. There are 12 grease fittings on this loader, one at each pivot. Lubricate pivots as specified.
CAUTION: Do not stand, walk, or work under a raised loader or attachment unless it is securely
blocked or held in position. Accidental movement of the valve handle/handles or leaks in the
hydraulic system could cause the loader to drop, or attachment to dump, causing severe injury.
5.2.2. Lower loader boom until bucket or attachment
rests on ground, and relieve all hydraulic pressure
before lubricating.
(1) Lubricate these 12 pivot points
every 5 hours of operation.
30
5.2.3. Before servicing your tractor, always do one of the following.
A. Park the loader off of the tractor. B. Position loader with bucket and/or attachment
level with ground, then relieve all hydraulic pressure.
CAUTION: Do not stand, walk, or work under a raised loader or attachment unless it is securely
blocked or held in position. Accidental movement of valve handle/handles or leaks in the
hydraulic system could cause the loader to drop, or attachment to dump, causing severe injury.
5.2.4. Clean area identified with white arrow of all
material if build up occurs during operation.
31
6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The loader should be operated with the tractor engine running from 1700 to 2200 rpm. Excessive speeds are
dangerous, and may cause bucket spillage and unnecessary strain on the tractor and loader.
When operating in temperatures below 30
temperature exceeds 30
The following text and illustrations offer suggested loader and tractor operating techniques.
o
F.
6.1. FILLING THE BUCKET
Approach and enter the pile with a level bucket. Then
rollback and lift the bucket.
The rollback and lifting of the bucket will increase
efficiency because a level bucket throughout the lifting
cycle resists bucket lift and increases breakaway effort.
NOTE: Do not be concerned if the bucket is not
completely filled during each pass. Maximum
productivity is determined by the amount of
material loaded in a given period of time. Time is
lost if two or more attempts are made to fill the
bucket on each pass.
6.2. LIFTING THE LOAD
When lifting the load, keep the bucket positioned to
avoid spillage.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to lift bucket or
attachment loads in excess of the loader
capacity.
o
F, run the tractor engine below 1200 rpm until the hydraulic fluid
6.3. CARRYING THE LOAD
Position the loader in a low position when transporting
a loaded or empty bucket or attachment.
Use extreme care when operating the loader on a
slope. Keep the bucket as low as possible. This keeps
the bucket and tractor center of gravity low and will
provide maximum tractor stability.
CAUTION: Operating the loader on a
hillside is dangerous and is not
recommended.
When transporting a load, keep the bucket as low as
possible to avoid tipping, in case a wheel drops in a rut.
32
6.4. DUMPING THE BUCKET
Lift the bucket just high enough to clear the side of the
vehicle. Move the tractor in as close to the side of the
vehicle as possible, then dump the bucket.
6.5. LOWERING THE BUCKET
After the bucket is dumped, back away from the vehicle
while lowering and rolling back the bucket.
6.6. OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL
During operation on hard surface, keep the bucket level
and position the lift control in the float position to permit
the bucket to float on the work surface.ı If hydraulic
down pressure is exerted on the bucket, the cutting
edge will wear faster than normal.
The float position will also avoid mixing of surface
material with stockpile material. The float position will
reduce the chance of surface gouging while removing
snow or other material, or when working with a blade.
6.7. LOADING FROM A BANK
Choose a forward gear that provides a safe ground
speed and power for loading.
CAUTION: Exercise caution when
undercutting high banks. Dirt slides can be
dangerous. Load from as low as possible
for maximum efficiency. Loader lift and
breakaway capacity diminish as loading
height is increased.
Side cutting is a good technique for cutting down a big
pile.
If the pile sides are too high and liable to cause cave-in,
use the loader to break down the sides until a slot can
be cut over the top.
Another method for large dirt piles is to build a ramp
approach to the pile.
33
It is important to keep the bucket level when
approaching a bank or pile. This will help avoid gouging
the work area.
6.8. PEELING AND SCRAPING
Use a slight bucket down angle, travel forward, and
hold the lift control forward to start the cut. Make a
short cut and breakout cleanly.
With the bucket level, start a cut at the notch
approximately 2 in. deep. Hold the depth by feathering
the tilt control to adjust the cutting edge up or down.
When the front tires enter the notch, adjust the lift
cylinder to maintain proper depth.
Make additional passes until the desired depth is
reached. During each pass, use only the tilt control
while at working depth. This will allow you to
concentrate on controlling the bucket angle to maintain
a precise cut.
6.9. LOADING LOW TRUCKS OR
SPREADERS FROM A PILE
For faster loading, minimize the angle of turn and
length of run between pile and spreader.
Back grade occasionally with a loaded bucket to keep
the work surface free of ruts and holes. Also, hold the
lift control forward so the full weight of the bucket is
scraping the ground. Use the heel of the bucket.
6.10. BACKFILLING
Approach the pile with the bucket flat.
Poor operating methods actually move no more dirt and
make it more difficult to hold a level grade. Do not use
the bucket in the dumped position for bulldozing. This
method will impose severe shock loading on the dumplinkage, the tilt cylinders, and the tractor.
Leave dirt in the bucket because dumping on each
pass wastes time.
34
Operate at right angles to the ditch, take as big a bite
as the tractor can handle.
Leave dirt that drifts over the side of the bucket for final
clean up.
Pile dirt on the high side for easier backfilling on a
slope.
6.11. HANDLING LARGE HEAVY OBJECTS
CAUTION: Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to:
Danger of rolling the tractor over.
•
Danger of upending the tractor.
•
Danger of object rolling or sliding down the loader boom onto the operator.
•
CAUTION: If you must perform the above work, protect yourself by:
Never lifting the load higher than necessary to clear the ground when moving.
•
Adding rear ballast to the tractor to compensate for the load.
•
Never lifting large objects with equipment that does not have an anti-rollback device.
•
Moving slowly and carefully; avoiding rough terrain.
•
6.12. BACK GRADING
When back grading, the angle between the bottom of
the bucket and the ground must not be more than
15 degrees. Failure to follow these instructions could
cause loader tilt cylinders to fail and void warranty.
35
7. DISMOUNTING THE LOADER
CAUTION: Always park loader with material bucket attached to the loader.
CAUTION: Before leaving the tractor seat, lower attachment or loader boom to ground, stop
engine, lock brakes, relieve hydraulic pressure, and remove key.
CAUTION: Do not stand, walk, or work under a raised loader or attachment unless it is securely
blocked or held in position. Accidental movement of valve handle/handles or leaks in the
hydraulic system could cause the loader to drop, or attachment to dump, causing severe injury.
CAUTION: Do not allow bystanders in loader work area.
IMPORTANT: Never allow weight of tractor to be placed on parking stand when mounting or dismounting
loader.
7.1.1. Position the loader on
a hard level surface. The
more level the surface the
easier the loader is to
mount and dismount.
7.1.2. Raise loader, dump
bucket over, and then lower
loader so that bucket cutting
edge is resting on ground.
7.1.3. Remove parking
stand from storage position
