17. Do not lift or carry anyone on buckets, forks, probes, or any other portion of the loader or loader attachments.

18. Do not allow children or unqualified persons to operate equipment.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

PREPERATION

19. Move the wheels to the tractor manufacturer’s widest recommended settings to increase stability.

20. For better stability, always use a tractor equipped with a wide front axle, never use a tractor equipped with a tricycle type front axle.

21. Add rear ballast or rear weight to the tractor to compensate for the load and increase stability.

22. Add recommended rear tire liquid weight or rear wheel weights for increased stability.

23. Do not modify, alter, or permit anyone else to modify or alter the loader, any of its components, or any loader function without first consulting a Mahindra dealer.

24. Assemble, remove, and reinstall the loader only as directed in this manual. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury or death.

25. The loader may shift during shipping and handling, making it unstable on the pallet. Support loader with an overhead hoist or other suitable means prior to removing bands or attaching straps securing loader to pallet. Failure to do so could result in accidental tip-over of the loader that could cause serious injury to you and/or bystanders.

BEFORE OPERATION

26. Before starting the engine of your tractor, make sure all operating controls are in park lock or neutral position.

27. Be certain lights and safety markings, as provided by the tractor manufacturer, are clean and operating when transporting the tractor/loader on public roads. Be certain that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem is visible. Check with local law enforcement for specific requirements.

OPERATION

28. Add wheel ballast and/or rear weight to counterbalance tractor/loader for stability at maximum loader capacity.

29. Additional counterweight requirements will vary with loader attachments and equipment application.

30. Move and turn the tractor at low speeds.

31. Carry loader boom at a low position during normal operation.

32. Never travel at high speeds with bucket loaded.

33. Use caution when operating the loader with a raised bucket or attachment.

34. Avoid driving over loose fill, rocks, holes, or anything that may be dangerous for loader operation or movement.

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.

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SLOPES

58. Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation.

59. Shift down before you start up or down a hill with a heavy load. Avoid "free wheeling."

60. Use extreme caution when operating on a slope.

61. Always operate up and down the slope, never across the slope.

ELECTRICAL

62. Avoid contact with overhead wires, power lines, and obstacles when loader bucket or attachment is raised.

63. Electrocution from power lines can occur with or without contact.

64. Check for underground utilities before digging below grade level.

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.

75. To avoid serious injury or death: Purge all air from hydraulic system before attempting to raise or lower loader or boom.

76. To avoid serious injury or death: Stand clear if lowering or raising loader or boom.

77. Do not use hand or skin to check for hydraulic leaks. Use cardboard or wood. Wear eye protection.

78. High pressure oil leaks can penetrate skin causing serious injury and gangrene. Consult a physician immediately.

79. Lower the loader or boom and release hydraulic pressure before loosening fittings.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

AFTER OPERATION

80. Before leaving the tractor seat, lower attachment or loader boom to ground, stop engine, lock parking brakes, put all controls in neutral, relieve hydraulic pressure, and remove key before leaving operator's seat.

81. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, relieve all hydraulic pressure.

82. 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.

83. Always park loader with bucket attached to loader.

84. When a front loader is mounted on the tractor, enter and exit the operator’s seat only from left side of the tractor.

85. Always park loader with a Factory attachment attached to the loader.

86. Special care should be taken to park or store attachments with points or sharp edges in a safe manner.

87. Make sure all parked loaders are on a hard level surface. Engage all safety devices to prevent loader from falling and being damaged or injuring someone. Do not repair loader if it is not mounted on the tractor. Loss of hydraulic fluid or removal of parts could cause loader to collapse resulting in injury.

REPAIR

88. Visually check for hydraulic leaks and broken, missing, or malfunctioning parts. Make necessary repairs before operation.

89. To keep mounting kit hardware from loosening during loader operation, hardware must be torqued to specifications noted in operator manual.

90. Always wear safety goggles when servicing or repairing the machine.

91. When servicing or replacing pins in cylinder ends, bucket, etc., always use a brass drift and hammer. Failure to do so could result in injury from flying metal fragments.

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 straps. The loader may shift during shipping and handling, making it unstable on the pallet. Support loader with an overhead hoist or other suitable means prior to removing bands or attaching straps securing loader to pallet. Failure to do so could result in accidental tip-over of the loader that could cause serious injury to you and/or bystanders.

CAUTION: Lift and support all loader components safely.

3.2. MOUNTING KIT INSTALLATION

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.

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.

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.

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

Magnifying 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
