ASSEMBLY
Attaching Pin on Bucket
Material bucket can be installed using tool ordinarily available.
1. Attach bucket to lift boom frame and cylinders
with four 1” pins, using a 3/8 shoulder bolt and
3/8 lock nut to secure each pin. Use upper bolt
hole in bucket mounting ear for shoulder bolts
on two lower pins.
2. Install level indicator rod in level guide tube on
right bucket cylinder. Sandwich level indicator
rod angle between right inside bucket ear and
cylinder rod end.
3. Set bucket level on ground and adjust level
guide tube along bucket cylinder until end of
guide tube is flush with end of rod.
Dismounting Loader
1. Locate tractor and loader on firm level ground.
2. With bucket raised above ground, tilt bucket
down approximately 30 degrees from level.
3. Lower boom by retracting lift cylinders to lift
tractor front end (tires can be off ground).
4. Stop engine. Allow tractor front end to lower by
relaxing ONLY lift cylinders with control lever.
This will remove pressure on hitch pins.
Note: Do not relax bucket cylinders.
5. Set parking brake. Rotate parking stands from
storage position by removing linch pins and
clevis pins. Reinstall clevis pins and linch pins
when parking stands are in operation position
(See Figure Asm-L-0001).
Never crawl under or allow children to play around or on a loader that is disconnected from
the tractor. The loader could fall crushing a person resulting in serious injury or death.
(SL-13)
Do not remove the attachment from the loader when the loader is disconnected from the
tractor. The attachment stabilizes the loader. If the attachment is removed, the loader will
fall and could result in serious injury.
(SL-26)
Only disconnect and store the loader on firm flat ground. Make sure the loader stands are
properly installed and rest on firm ground or support blocks. If the stands sink or fail, the
loader could fall causing serious injury.
