  • Page 64: Driving The Tractor And Loader

    7. Driving the Tractor and Loader This Implement may be wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting this equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails, concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death.

  • Page 65: Starting The Tractor

    Use extra care when turning or stopping. Allow for increased length and weight of added loader. The loader adds five to six feet of length in front of the tractor and significant weight. Allow extra distance when stopping or turning. Do not allow loader or attachment to contact solid objects.

  • Page 66: Driving The Tractor And Loader

    7.3 Driving the Tractor and Loader Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the tractor and loader. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering control.
  • Page 67 The Boom is designed only to position and operate the Bucket which is attached to it. Never attempt to lift, pull, or push other solid objects with the boom or bucket. Serious injury could result from a structural failure when the Boom is used for purposes other than those for which it was designed.
  • Page 68 Carry the loader and attachment low when transporting to reduce the potential of the tractor tipping over. Transport on slopes only at slow speeds and use gradual turning angles. Tractor wheel contact with any wash out, drop off or ground obstruction with a raised loader could result in the tractor tipping over and causing serious injury.
  • Page 69 Do not operate the loader from the ground. Operate the tractor and loader only while seated in the tractor seat with the seatbelt fastened. The loader could fall crushing a person resulting in serious injury or death. Use extreme care when piling material above 6 feet high. Material could shift and fall onto the operator or bystanders.
  • Page 70 Operate the tractor and loader only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial lighting. Never operate in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least 100 feet in front and to the sides of the tractor. Make sure you can clearly see bystanders, ditches, steep slopes, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, and debris or obstruction in the travel path.
  • Page 71 Do not raise the loader on a hillside. Do not transport across a slope with a raised loader. When the loader is raised, the center of gravity of the tractor and loader is raised increasing the potential for the tractor to tip over.

  • Page 72: Operating The Loader

    OPERATION 7.5 Operating the Loader The following text and illustrations offer suggested loader and tractor operating techniques. FILLING THE BUCKET Approach and enter the pile with a level bucket. Loaders wit 1-lever control, ease lever back toward you to lift and roll back bucket. With series valve, prevent loader stall by not lifting and rolling back at the same time.
  • Page 73 OPERATION Lift and roll back of bucket will increase efficiency because... A level bucket throughout the lifting cycle resists bucket lift and increases breakaway effort. NOTE: Do not be concerned if the bucket is not completely filled during each pass. Maximum productivity is determined by the amount of material loaded in a given period of time.
  • Page 74 OPERATION CARRYING THE LOAD Position bucket just below tractor hood for maximum stability and visibility, whether bucket is loaded or empty. Use extreme care when operating loader on a slope, keep bucket as low as possible. This keeps center of gravity low and will provide maximum stability.
  • Page 75 OPERATION DUMPING THE BUCKET Lift bucket high enough to clear side of vehicle. Move tractor in as close as possible to side of vehicle, then dump bucket. LOWERING THE BUCKET After bucket is dumped, back away from vehicle while lowering and rolling back bucket. 1585 01/11 Operation Section 4-29 ©...
  • Page 76 OPERATION OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL During hard surface operation, keep bucket level and put lift control in float position to permit bucket to float on working surface. If hydraulic down pressure is exerted on bucket, it will wear faster than normal. Float will also prevent mixing of surface material with stockpile material.
  • Page 77 OPERATION Side cutting is a good technique for cutting down a big pile. If the pile sides are too high and liable to cause cave-in, use loader to break down the sides until a slot can be cut over the top. Another method for large dirt piles is to build a ramp approach to the pile.
  • Page 78 OPERATION It is important to keep the bucket level when approaching a bank or pile. This will help prevent gouging the work area. PEELING AND SCRAPING Use a slight bucket angle, travel forward and hold lift control forward to start the cut. Make a short 5 to 8 foot angle cut and break out cleanly.
  • Page 79 OPERATION Make additional passes until desired depth is reached. During each pass, use only bucket control while working depth. This will allow you to concentrate on controlling bucket angle to maintain a precise cut. LOADING LOW TRUCKS OR SPREADERS FROM A PILE For faster loading, minimize angle of turn and length of run between pile and spreader.
  • Page 80 OPERATION Do not roll bucket over and attempt to backgrade. This type of use can cause severe overloading of bucket cylinders when fully extended, possibly causing bucket cylinder rods to become bent. BACKFILLING Approach pile with a level bucket. Poor methods actually move no more dirt and make it more difficult to hold a level grade.
  • Page 81 OPERATION Leave dirt in bucket. Dumping on each pass wastes time. Operate tractor at right angles to ditch. Take as big a bite as tractor can handle without lugging down. Leave dirt which drifts over side of bucket for final cleanup. 1585 01/11 Operation Section 4-35 ©...
  • Page 82 Pile dirt on high side for easier backfilling on a slope. HANDLING LARGE HEAVY OBJECTS 1. Using front end loaders for handling large heavy objects such as large round or rectangular bales, logs and oil drums is not recommended. 2. Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to: •...

  • Page 83: Operating Bale Spear (Optional Attachment)

    7.6 Operating Bale Spear (Optional Attachment) Operate bale spear using extreme caution. Sharp points on bale spear can cause serious injury or death. Because of size and weight of large bales, extreme care must be taken inhandling them. Be aware of forces acting on stacked bales due to gravity and keep workers far from zones of potential hazard from shifting or falling bales.

  • Page 84: Loader Storage

    Carry bales as low to the ground as possible to allow maximum visibility and avoid tipping. 8. Loader Storage Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off the Equipment and be injured or killed. Inadvertent contact with controls can cause the Implement to shift or fall crushing themselves or others.

  • Page 85: Transporting The Tractor And Implement

    9. Transporting the Tractor and Implement Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death. Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this equipment at high speeds.
  • Page 86 Lower the loader to the bed of the truck or trailer when transporting the tractor and loader with a truck. Measure to ensure the transport height does not exceed the legal limits. Contact with overhead obstructions or power lines can cause property damage or serious injury. In case of mechanical difficulty during operation, place the transmission in the park position, set the parking brake, shut down all power, including the PTO and the engine and remove the key.

  • Page 87: Transporting On Public Roadways

    9.1 Transporting on Public Roadways Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local traffic regulations.
