• Using the hydraulic control lever, fully cycle all cylinders
several times to purge air from the hydraulic system. After air
has been purged from system, roll the bucket back and lower
to the ground.
• Check the tractor’s transmission oil level as instructed in
tractor Operator’s Manual. Refill the transmission to the full
mark before operating the tractor and/or the loader. When
adding oil to the tractor transmission, always use the type of
oil specified for the tractor. NEVER MIX OIL TYPES.

• When the masts are firmly settled into the tower mounts,
continue to slowly push the control lever forward, and to the
right, to raise the loader hitch bracket upward into the front
mount receiver. As the loader hitch bracket is raised, the
boom cylinder pivot pins should also rotate back into the
notches of the RH and LH mounts. Refer to Figure 11. Drive
the tractor forward as necessary.
NOTE: The loader hitch bracket must fit squarely in the front
mount receiver to allow installation of the mounting pins. If the
hitch bracket does not fit squarely in the channel of the front
receiver, loosen the hex screws and lock nuts fastening the loader
hitch bracket to the RH and LH loader hitch arms. Again, use
the implement control lever to raise the loader hitch bracket fully
upward in the front mount receiver. Re-tighten hex screws and
lock nuts to secure the loader hitch bracket.
• When the strut of the loader hitch bracket is fully up inside the
front mount receiver, re-insert the two mounting pins removed
earlier. Secure the mounting pins with the two lynch pins.
• Disconnect the overhead lift apparatus from the front loader.
• Route the hydraulic hoses forward along the inside of the RH
loader hitch arm and place the hoses between the loader arm
and the hook of the hose retainer rod; then loop the hoses
rearward and place the hoses between the RH loader mast
and the second hose retaining rod. Refer to Figure 12.
