MAINTENANCE
NOTE: When loader hydraulics are disconnected from tractor, the tractor hydraulic circuit must be completed.
Failure to do so will result in tractor hydraulic pump damage.
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.
6. Move lift and bucket control levers back and forth several times to relieve pressure on the lift and bucket
cylinders. Disconnect quick couplers between loader and tractor. Hang hoses over the side frame for
storage. If equipped with optional auxiliary 1-lever valve, remove support assembly from the guide tube
on midmounting also. Slide valve support assembly into hole provided at rear of right side frame channel.
7. Fasten bolts, washers and nuts onto hinge for storage.
8. Start tractor engine, release tractor brakes and slowly back the tractor away from the loader.
9. Clean dirt and debris from loader. Dirt will hold moisture and cause rust.
10. If loader is to be stored for an extended period of time perform lubrication procedure. Also apply a coat of
heavy grease to exposed cylinder rods to prevent rusting.
