SECTION 7: UNPACKING THE LOADER
Figure 2
Move the tractor and front loader to an area large enough to ac-
commodate both, and with access to an overhead lift. To uncrate
the loader and all components, refer to Figure 2 and proceed as
follows:
• Carefully remove the top and sides of the shipping crate and
carefully cut off the plastic wrapping.
• Remove the hardware pack from the shipping pallet. Check
the contents of the hardware pack against the list on page 8.
• Carefully remove and discard any banding wire, clamps, or
screws securing the loader bucket, RH and LH mounts, front
mount receiver, and the boom and mast assembly to the
shipping pallet.
• Remove the front mount receiver from the shipping pallet.
Remove the two lynch pins and withdraw the mounting pins
from the front mount receiver. Temporarily set aside the front
mount receiver and pins.
• Remove the RH and LH mount assemblies from the pallet and
set aside.
IMPORTANT: Usage of an overhead lift apparatus is strongly
recommended to support and lift the boom and mast assembly
when performing the INITIAL installation of the front loader. If an
overhead lift is not available, the aid of at least one assistant will
be necessary.
If Using an Overhead Lift
IMPORTANT: When positioning the lifting devices, use care to
avoid damage to the hydraulic lines, while also maintaining the
balance of the boom and mast assembly.
If using lift straps and an overhead lift, position the straps around
the boom and mast assembly so that the assembly is balanced
when lifted from the shipping pallet.
• Carefully lift the boom and mast assembly off the shipping
pallet.
• Remove the loader bucket from the pallet, and roll the bucket
so that it sits on its bottom surface.
If an Overhead Lift is Not Available
• With the aid of at least one assistant, carefully slide the loader
bucket out from between the loader masts, and roll the bucket
so that it sits on its bottom surface.
• With the aid of at least one assistant, carefully maneuver the
boom and mast assembly off the shipping pallet.
Carefully cut the shipping tie securing the free ends of the loader
hydraulic hoses to the right end of the loader hitch bracket.
Remove the packaging material from the hydraulic fittings on the
ends of the hoses.
