ASSEMBLY
5. Start tractor engine and release tractor brakes. Activate lift control lever to raise side frames up off mid
mounting assembly. Continue activating the loft control lever while gradually backing the tractor up.
Allow loader to roll off front mounting bracket until lift cylinders are fully extended and front bumper is
resting on ground. Engage tractor brakes and shut off tractor engine.
6. Move lift and bucket control lever back and forth several times to relieve pressure on lift and bucket
cylinders. Disconnect quick couplers between loader and tractor. Hang hoses over loader side frame
upright for storage.
7. Fasten bolts, washers and nuts onto hinge for storage.
8. Start tractor engine, release brakes and slowly back the tractor away from the loader.
NOTE: Loader should be stored in a dry place. If loader is being stored for an extended period (one month or
more), a coat of grease should be applied to the cylinder shafts to prevent rusting.
Mounting Loader
Mounting is basically reverse of dismounting.
1. Slowly drive tractor into loader until the tractor front mounting brackets touch the loader side frame
channels. Engage tractor brakes and shut off tractor engine.
2. Connect quick couplers between tractor and loader by matching color coded bands.
NOTE: Make sure couplers are clean.
3. Remove bolts, nuts and washers from hinge.
4. Start tractor engine and release tractor brakes. If the tractor is located on a smooth surface, rotate the
bucket all the way over at this point to prevent loader from skidding forward. Continue driving loader
forward while rolling the loader on the front mounting bracket tubes until side frame uprights are fully
resting on midmounting brackets. Engage tractor brakes and shut off engine.
5. Refasten reusable tie straps in original locations. If rubber strap is used, hook one end of rubber strap
around hoses and back onto itself. Reattach other end of rubber strap to loader side frame in area of
loader front bumper.
