Dismounting and Mounting 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.
Dismounting Loader
1. Locate tractor and loader on firm level ground.
2. Dump the bucket and lower it to the ground. Engage tractor brakes and shut off engine. Move lift control
lever back and forth several times to relieve pressure on the lift cylinders.
3. Loosen bolts which clamp side frame uprights to the mid mounting assembly. Remove bolts, washers and
nuts.
4. Remove rubber strap securing hoses to the right front mounting frame bracket.
5. Start tractor engine and release tractor brakes. Activate lift control lever to raise side frame uprights off of
the midmounting assembly. Continue activating the lift control lever while slowly backing tractor up. Allow
the loader to slide on the front mounting bracket until the loader front bumper is resting on the ground.
Extend the lift cylinders until front mounting disengages side frame through notch in lower flange each
side. Engage tractor brakes and shut off tractor engine.
