Dismounting Loader
To avoid injury during installation of loader:
Place loader bucket against barrier to restrict forward movement of loader.
Do not permit bystanders within 15 feet of loader.
Loader must be equipped with a bucket or other optional attachment to dismount from
tractor.
When dismounting loader, maintain clearance between loader side frames and tractor hood
and front axle.
It is important not to put excessive weight on parking stands with lift cylinder retraction.
Damage may result.
1. Locate tractor and loader on firm level ground.
2. With bucket raised above ground, tilt down
approximately 30 degrees from level.

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.
