36 Installation
MAN0556 (9/21/2007)
To provide necessary balance, loader frame
must be equipped with bucket or attachment
before attaching or detaching from tractor, or when
loader is in stored position.
Do not climb or lean on equipment stored on
stand.
Keep children and bystanders away from stor-
age area.
CONNECT LOADER SUPPLY HOSES TO
LOADER
Refer to Loader Mounting Kit Manual for hose kit instal-
lation.
Connect loader supply hoses to loader feedlines at the
right side of the loader. Always use hoses that have a
minimum working pressure rating of 3000 psi and meet
or exceed SAE 100R1 specifications.
Figure 47. Loader Supply Hose Connection
VERIFY CONTROL MOVEMENTS
Check that all tractor hydraulic control lever positions
operate the loader movements correctly. See Figure
48.
If loader movements do not respond correctly, shut off
tractor, relieve pressure, and reconnect properly.
Loader control movements must be correct before pro-
ceeding.
Once all loader functions are correct, start the tractor
and operate the loader to check for leaks. Purge any
remaining air from the hydraulic system and check oil
level.
When hose routing and correct loader operations are
verified, identify each circuit by placing a matching col-
ored band around the male and female quick coupler.
The color-coded bands will make reinstallation easier
when the loader is removed from tractor.
