36. Allow for the loader length when making turns.
37. Use caution when handling loose or unstable loads.
38. Gradually stop the loader boom when lowering or lifting load s.
39. 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 neut ral, or until relief pressure
is reached at the ends of piston strokes. Observe the bucket movement and maintain control with valve
handle/handles.
40. 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.
41. A loader attachment should be transported in a low position at slow ground speeds. Make turns slowly
and use the tractor brakes cautiously. A loade d attachment in the raised position alters the center of
gravity location of the machine and increases the possibility of mishaps.
42. Be careful during loading, transporting, and stacking to minimize rolling bales and tracto r tip over.
43. Do not use buckets, forks, or other attachments without bale retaining devices.
44. Operate the tractor and loader such that complete control and machine stability is maint aine d at all times.
45. 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 causin g damage or injury to tractor
and/or operator .

the loader is parked from the tractor. Never operate the unit with the loader parked and the
backhoe installed. Failure to follow these instructions could cause loss of tractor steering
causing personal injury and damage to property.
Front tractor weights must only be used when the loader is parked. Weights must be removed before remou nting
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.
NOTE: Rear tractor ballast must be added equally to tractor to allow loader bucket to se t parallel to the
ground. After installation, check that the tire pressure is equal and the center of rear axle off of grou nd is
equal from right and left sides of tractor. This inspection must be done on a hard level surface.
12”
Rear Axle weight must be a minimum of 25% of total unit weight
when counterbalanced correctly

3.2. MOUNTING KIT INSTALLATION
3.2.1. Position the tractor and loader on a hard level surface under a hoist.
3.2.2. Remove front weights from tractor if applicable.
IMPORTANT: Do not tighten any hardware until all components are attached onto the tractor.
CAUTION: Lift and support all loader components safely.
1. CRITICAL INFORMATION: To install the Disc-Lock
Washer, simply mate the cams together and place
between the bolt head and the bracket. As the bolt is
tightened, one center of the Disc-Lock Washer is seated
to bracket material and the other to the head of the bolt.
When the bolt elongates due to vibration and shock, the
bolt will attempt to rotate loose. As one center of the
Disc-Lock Washer tries to rotate with the bolt, the
interlocking cams work against each other. This will
increase the preload, further locking the assembly and
reducing the chance of bolt loosening.

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. Before applying
pressure to system, be sure all connections
are tight and that lines, tubes, and hoses
are not damaged. 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. 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.
CAUTION: Do not tamper with relief valve setting. The relief v alve is pre-set at the factory.
Changing the setting can cause overloading of the loader and tractor, which may result in serious
injury.
4.4. SINGLE HANDLE CONTROLLER
4.4.1. Single handle controller will have some freeplay when installed on unit. This is normal on all cable operated
units. Cable damage due to contamination and/or moisture in cables is not covered under warranty.
4.4.2. Cables must be adjusted properly to allow loader valve to operate correctly. Cable adjustment is not
covered under warranty.
4.4.3. Single handle controller components will wear over time and use. Normal wear is not covered under
warranty.
4.4.4. Never use single handle controller lever as a handle when getting on or off of tractor. Failure to follow these
instructions will cause single handle controller lever damage not covered under warranty.
34
35 Series 4WD, Model - 3535 & 4035 Loader June’08
4.5. LOADER MOUNTED VALVE EQUIPPED WITH SINGLE HANDLE CONTROLLER
4.5.1. Your loader utilizes a series type loader mounted valve equipped with single handle controller and it will function as
described.
Number 1 Position:
Pull single handle controller back to raise loader.
Number 2 Position:
Push the single handle controller forward slightly to
lower loader.
Number 3 Position:
Push the single handle controller full forward to
activate float position.
Number 4 Position:
Push the single handle controller outward to dump
attachment (normal dump).
Number 5 Position:
Pull the single handle controller inward to roll back
attachment.
Number 6 Position:
Pull the single handle controller downward and
push the single handle controller outward to raise
loader and to dump attachment simultaneously.
Number 7 Position:
Push the single handle controller forward and push
the single handle controller outward to lower loader
and to dump attachment simultaneously.
Number 8 Position:
Push the single handle controller forward and pull
the single handle controller inward to lower loader
and to roll back attachment simultaneously.
Number 9 Position:
Push the single handle controller fully outward to
activate regen position on the loader valve which will
dump attachment at a faster rate.
Number 10 Position:
Pulling the single handle controller downward while
pulling the single handle controller inward is not
recommended for scooping because of insufficient
lifting force plus loader will not operate after bucket
contacts rollback stops.
NOTE: This loader valve is a series valve. If you, the operator, extend or retract bucket cylinders fully
with valve handle in a two function position (positions 6, 7, 8 or 10), loader will stop raising or lowering
when bucket cylinders reach the end of their stroke. Operator must then position single handle
controller to a one function position (positions 1, 2, 4 or 5) to allow the loader to continue to operate.
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.
Directional decal
4.6. NEUTRAL POSITION
The loader external valve has a "neutral position" which prevent s 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. If this does not function correctly check
cable adjustment and/or check for damage to cable or single han dle controller.
4.7. 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 single handle controller all the way forward into detent. The valve will stay in float detent position until
the operator manually pulls the single handle controller out of detent position to deactivate float.
35
35 Series 4WD, Model - 3535 & 4035 Loader June’08
4.8. REGENERATIVE DUMPING POSITION
Your valve is equipped with a regen position in the bucket circuit. When digging with the loader, feather the single
handle controller outward to angle the bucket forward and put the weight of the tractor on the cutting edge. If you
position the loader valve into regen position, weight of the tractor may not remain on the cutting edge. The loader
valve has a “Regenerative Spool” incorporated in the bucket spool. The tilt cylinders must be connected to this
spool allowing the operator to choose normal dump or fast dump during loader operation. While using regen
position some oil will bypass over relief which could cause a small amount of hose chatter and hydraulic relief
noise which is normal to operation.
NOTE: Regen position will speed up dump operation in most applications. However, operator may not see
significant speed increase at high RPM due to some oil being forced relief. Use of regen position will
eliminate bucket cylinder cavitation.
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 v alve is pre-set at the factory.
Changing the setting can cause overloading of the loader and tractor, which may result in serious
injury.
IMPORTANT: If the bucket and lift circuits do not operate correctly check single lever controller pivot
position along with cable position.
4.9. 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.

IMPORTANT: Always lock loader
valve handle in locked position when
loader is not in use or when loader
has been parked from tractor.
Push lock downward until red button
is exposed for locked position
Pull lock upward until green button
is exposed for unlocked position
NOTE: The Single Handle Controller
is equipped with a handle lock that
locks loader valve in neutral
position. This lock will not prevent
leak down of loader.
NOTE: The Single Lever Controller lock is used to prevent accidental actuation of loader valve when
loader is not in use or during transportation.
4.10. 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.
NOTE: Your loader lift and attachment circuits will have some leak down. This drift down is normal and is
caused by loader valve spool leakage. Always position loader on the ground when not in use and be alert
while transporting large loads a long distance. To check for acceptable leak down, see section 18. Leak
Down Inspection. This test must be run and leak down must be above these rates before any warranty is
applied for.
NOTE: Always change hydraulic oil in tractor as specified in tractor manual. Contaminants in hydraulic
system will cause damage to loader valve spools, increasing leakage rate which is not covered under
warranty.
NOTE: Use only recommended hydraulic oil as specified in tractor operators manual. Failure to follow
these instructions could cause damage to loader hydraulic components and can increase loader leak
down rate.

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. Before applying
pressure to system, be sure all connections
are tight and that lines, tubes, and hoses
are not damaged. 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. If
injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at

35 Series 4WD, Model - 3535 & 4035 Loader June’08
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.
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 AND SERVICE
5.2.1. There are 12 grease fittings on this loader, one at each pivot. Lubricate pivots as specified. Use a grease
gun with a flexible hose.

6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The loader should be operated with the tractor engine running at mid rpm. Excessive speeds a r e 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.
o
F, run the tractor engine below 1200 rpm until the hydraulic fluid
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.
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.
41
35 Series 4WD, Model - 3535 & 4035 Loader June’08
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.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.
42
35 Series 4WD, Model - 3535 & 4035 Loader June’08
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.
43
35 Series 4WD, Model - 3535 & 4035 Loader June’08
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.
o
44
35 Series 4WD, Model - 3535 & 4035 Loader June’08
6.12. BACK GRADING OR DOZING
MATERIAL
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.
Never use bucket or other attachment in position
shown when back grading or dozing material. This will
cause excessive pressure in bucket cylinder and will
cause failure to your loader, which is not covered
under warranty.
Do not exceed15°
