8. Loader Storage
Properly preparing and storing the loader at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance and
to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:
Thoroughly clean all debris off the loader to prevent damage from rotting grass and standing water.
Lubricate all grease points detailed in the maintenance section.
Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommend torque.
Check worn and damage parts. Perform repairs and make replacements immediately so that the loader will
be ready for use at the start of the next season.
Store the loader in a clean, dry place resting securely on parking stands at ground level.
Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the loader.
9. Transporting the Tractor and Implement
Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off
the Equipment and be injured or killed. Inadvertent contact with controls can cause the
Implement to shift or fall crushing themselves or others.
(SG-25)
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
(SG-10)
Before dismounting the tractor and loader lower the loader to the ground or
onto solid support blocks. Engage the loader valve travel lock to prevent
inadvertent movement of the valve controls causing the loader to suddenly
move and drop. Sudden dropping of the loader and attachment could
result in serious injury.
(SL-05)
Lower the loader to the bed of the truck or trailer when transporting the
tractor and loader with a truck. Measure to ensure the transport height
does not exceed the legal limits. Contact with overhead obstructions or
power lines can cause property damage or serious injury.
(SL-34)
In case of mechanical difficulty during operation, place the transmission in the park
position, set the parking brake, shut down all power, including the PTO and the engine and
remove the key. Wait until all rotating motion has stopped before dismounting.
