MOUNTING THE LOADER
With completion of the initial installation and operation, all loader
cylinders should be filled with hydraulic oil and should maintain the
position of the boom and mast when dismounted.
NOTE: If the loader is in storage for an extended period of time,
it may become necessary to again raise the base of the masts to
re-mount the loader. If this occurs, drive the tractor along the right
side of the loader, connect the loader hoses, and use the control
lever to raise the masts as described in “Pre-Charging Cylinders
for Initial Installation” earlier in this manual.
Mount the loader as follows:
• Start the tractor; then carefully drive the tractor between the
masts, loader hitch arms, and boom assembly. Slowly drive
the tractor forward while guiding the base of each mast into
the RH and LH mounts.
• Stop the tractor engine and engage the parking brake.
• Remove the two lynch pins and withdraw the mounting pins
from the front mount receiver. Refer to Figure 11.
• Using the color coded plugs and matching color coded
washers on the loader hoses to guide you, remove the plugs
and connect each loader hose to the appropriate hydraulic
coupler.
• Re-start the tractor engine.
• While observing the base of the masts, slowly push the imple-
ment control lever forward to lower the boom and to the right
to dump the bucket. Drive the tractor forward (as needed)
to settle the masts onto the tubular bars of the RH and LH
mounts.
• When the masts are firmly settled into the RH and LH mounts,
continue to slowly push the control lever forward, and/or to
the right, to raise the loader hitch bracket upward into the
front mount receiver. As the 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.
• When 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.
• Place the hydraulic hoses in the hose retainer rod on the RH
loader hitch arm if not already in the retainer.
• Use the implement control lever to raise the bucket off the
ground.
