Hydraulic Installation 8
MAN0807 (6/17/2009)
Verify Control Movements
1. Mount loader to tractor: Remove mount pins
from loader uprights. Align tractor with loader and
slowly drive tractor into loader. Shut off tractor.
2. Connect loader feedline hoses to tractor hydraulic
couplers. See Figure 7.
3. Comply with all safety rules and start the tractor.
4. Mount loader to tractor by activating bucket cylin-
ders to raise or lower the loader uprights into the
loader mounts. Slowly advance tractor forward,
activating appropriate cylinders to engage loader
completely into mounts. Insert mounting pins to
secure loader.
5. Check that all tractor hydraulic control lever posi-
tions operate the loader movements correctly.
See Figure 8.
6. If loader movements do not respond correctly,
shut off tractor, relieve pressure, and reconnect
properly. Loader control movements must be cor-
rect before proceeding.
7. Once all loader functions are correct, start the
tractor and operate the loader to check for leaks.
Purge any remaining air from the hydraulic sys-
tem and check oil level.
8. When hose routings and correct loader opera-
tions are verified, identify each circuit by placing a
matching colored band around the male and
female quick-disconnect coupler. The color-coded
bands will make reinstallation easier when the
loader is removed from tractor.
9. Be sure that adequate slack is left in the hoses so
they can move as the loader moves through its
full range of motion.
10. Attach the plastic tie straps (included in kit) every
20 inches around the hoses to keep them tightly
bundled and away from contact with the ground
or other moving parts on the tractor or loader.
11. Before operating the loader, make sure that the
Pre-Delivery, Delivery, and Pre-Operation Check
Lists in the Loader Operator’s Manual have been
completed.
