Locate tractor and loader on firm level ground.
1. With bucket raised above ground, tilt bucket

loader upright.
6. Start tractor engine and release brakes. Retract
bucket cylinders to allow parking stands to
contact ground.
7. Extend lift cylinders 6” to 8” to rotate top of
loader uprights forward out of the mount,
allowing tractor to be pushed rearward. Retract
bucket cylinders until lower loader upright pins
clear mount pin saddles and front tires (See
Figure Asm-L-0003).
8. Move tractor rearward approximately 6”, being
certain not to stretch hydraulic hoses.
