SAFETY
Safety Precautions
Do not carry round bales on loader unless loader Is equipped with a restraining device to prevent caie frc:n
rolling down loader frame, resulting in severe injury or death to the operator.
Always use adequate lights or safety warnings when transporting machine on public roads and a.de' ca;k.
Be certain SMV emblem is visibie. Check with your local law enforcemeni agencies for soec fic re
quirements.
Avoid loose fill, rocks and holes; they can be dangerous for loader operaiicn or movemeri.
Be careful when working on inclines.
Allow for the loader length when making turns.
Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, relieve all hydraulic pressure. Escaping hydraulic oii under pressure
can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious personal injury.
If injured by escaping fluid, obtain medical treatment immediately.
Do not operate the loader if the fittings are leaking or if the hoses are damaged. A sudden line burst would
cause the loader to drop suddenly, causing Injury to personnel or damage to the tractor or ioader.
A ioader bucket or attachment should be transported in a low position at slow ground speeds, especially if
the ground is irregular. Make turns slowly and use the tractor brakes cautiously. A fuii bucket in the raised
position alters the center of gravity location of the machine and increases the possibility of mishaps.
Lower all components before leaving the machine. All attachments should be in closed position and
Bucket resting on Ground. Elevated components can fall and cause serious injury.
Never work beneath a raised loader unless it is securely blocked with a safety bar. A suitable safety bar can
be fabricated following dimensions in the-illustration below.

OPERATiOK
Loader Hydraulic Controls
Loader Hydraulics are activaiad by Engaging
Tractor front P.T.O. The P.T.O. switch is located
on the RH side of the instrument Panel.
The loader Hydraulic Valve Features Single
Lever Control. Refer to figure 5 for reference to
Loader Control Functions.
The Loader Hydraulic Valve Lift Cylinder circuit
incorporates a “Float” position which allows the
loader bucket to follow ground contours. The
“Float” position is engaged by shifting the con
trol lever forward into “Detent”. The Loader
Hydraulic Valve will remain in “Detent” until the
operator pulls the control lever out of the “De
tent” position.
Refer to “Scraping” operation for recommended
use of “Float” position.
Single Lever Control

QPEBArmk
Drive straight into pile with the bucket cutting
edge level with the ground, in order to prevent
possibility of damaging tractor or loader -
Do not ram into pile at high speed.
Do not attempt to turn tractor while loading.
As the bucket begins to fill with material,
gradually roll the bucket back and raise the
loader to increase “Fiji” capacity. This pro
cedure also results in the material being remov
ed in layers from the top for maximum loading ef
ficiency.
When the bucket is full, raise loader so that the
bucket is clear of material and slowly back out of
pile.
For maximum loading efficiency, minimize angle
of turn and distance between the Loading and
Unloading points.
Loading
Transporting Material
Transporting material to “Unloading Point” wr;h
Loader Bucket as low as possible to prevent
spillage and maintain maximum Tractor/Load:?’'
stability.
Important:
During transport the loader should not be in a
position that will impair operator’s vision.
Observe the following safety messages.
WARNING. A loaded bucket should be
transported in a low position at slow ground
speeds, especially if the ground is irregular.
Make turns slowly and use the tractor brakes
cautiously. A full bucket in the raised position
alters the center of gravity location of the unit
and increases the possibility of mishaps.
A WARNING! Do not lift or carry personnel
on a loader or attachment; a slip or fall could
cause bodily injury.
70-3
Page 18
OPERATION
Unloading
As the tractor approaches the “Unloading
Point”, raise the loader to the height required for
clearance to “Dump” bucket.
Drive slowly to position bucket above
“Unloading Point”, stop tractor and dump
bucket.
Note:
Do not raise loader higher than required for
“Dumping” clearance.
As “Dumping” clearance height increases, the
bucket position must be adjusted to maintain a
level bucket to prevent excessive spillage of
material from bucket.
DANGER. Load on raised bucket can roll
back onto operator area causing severe injury or
death. Load must be kept level.
DANGER. Avoid any overhead wires or
obstacles when loader is raised, to avoid damage
or possible death by electrocution.
Scraping
When scraping, the “Float” position should be
utilized to maintain the bucket firmly on the
ground and at the same time allow the bucket to
follow ground contours.
The bucket should be positioned level to the
ground during “Scraping” operations.
70-4
Page 19
BackfiHing/Backgrading
When “Backfilling” or Backgrading”, position
the bucket so it is level on the ground. Do not
dump materia! from bucket following each pass
as additional weight of materiai in bucket will
assist in“Backgrading” and increases loader effi
ciency during “Backfilling”.
Controlled Rate of Loader Fynct^cn
nom
By “Feathering” the Control Lever, reduced
operational speeds can be controlled. This ac
tion 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.

Hydraulic Cylinder Leakage Test
General
Ai CAUTION!
Safety glasses should be worn when performing
Cylinder Leakage Tests.
When performing Cylinder Leakage Tests the
tractor engine should be operating at mid R.P.M.
to ensure the hydraulic system reache's the
Relief Valve Setting.
During tests, the System Relief Valve governing
maximum pressure to the Loader Cylinders will
be “Open”, (system is at Relief Valve Setting).
Note:
Do not maintain Hydraulic System at Relief Valve
Setting pressure for more than 20 second inter
vals to prevent overheating hydraulic system.
Fig. 12
The Test Procedures outlined enable the
cylinders to be checkec for Rod Seal Leakage
(External Leakage) and Piston Seal Leakage in
both directions (Internal Leakage).
Test Procedure
Lower Loader to the ground, shut tractor off and
disconnect cylinders as follows:
Lift Cylinder Test - disconnect from Subframe
(Rod End).
Bucket Cylinder Test - disconnect from Bucket
(Rod End).
Support the Cylinders to prevent excessive
strain on hydraulic hoses in a position that will
allow the Cylinders to be completely
“Extended”.

Hydraulic Cylinder Leakage Test
Rod Seal Leakage Test
Start tractor and “Retract” Cylinders completely.
Continue to hold Control Valve Lever in position
to “Retract Cylinders” and check for evidence of
oil leakage past the Rod Seal (External Leakage).
Note:
On cylinders that have been in service, Rod Seal
leakage is usually indicated by accumulation of
dirt/oil at rod end of Cylinder Body.
If leakage is evident, the cylinder(s) should be
removed and disassembled for inspection and
repair.
Note:
Inspect Cylinder Rod for pitting, deterioration or
damage to the chrome finish. Any excessive
damage to the chrome finish reduces the ability
of the Rod Seal to seal properly.
If Rod Seal tests are satisfactory proceed to
Piston Seal Assembly Leakage Test.
Piston Seal Leakage Test
With cylinders in the fully “Rétractée“ jîôsih'ûn
and tractor shut off, disconnect the hvdrau''c
lines from the base end of cylinders • ?.
hydraulic hese from the cylinder base
to a container (to catch oil during leak'd^« tes t.
Start tractor and place Loader
Lever in the position to “Retract” (
“Hold”.
Check for oil leakage from base end port of
cylinders.
A constant dripping or very slight flow of oil is
normal. If a steady flow of oil is, evident ex
cessive wear or damage of the Piston Seal is in
dicated and the cylinder(s) should be removed
and disassembled for inspection and repair.
If Piston Seal Leakage Test in “Retract” position
indicates Piston Seal is satisfactory, reinstall
hydraulic hoses and fully extend cylinders to per
form test in “Extend” position.

With cylinders in the fully “Extended” position
and tractor shut off disconnect the hydraulic
lines from the rod end of cylinders. Route a
hydraulic hose from the cylinder rod end ports to
a container (to catch oil during leakage test).
Start tractor and place Loader Control Valve
Lever in the position to “Extend” Cylinders and
“Hold”.
Check for oii leakage from rod end port of
cylinders.
A constant dripping or very slight flow of oil is
normal. If a steady flow of oil is evident ex
