WARNING:
Never allow anyone to operate the loader until they have carefully reviewed and
understood this owners manual.
FILLING THE BUCKET:
When material is piled on a slope, it is best to drive tractor up the slope straight into the pile. Operating
sideways on a slope has a tendency to tip the loading unit. Drive tractor straight into the pile, raise the
bucket about six inches, then drop bucket and drive forward until the bucket is filled. Tilt bucket
completely back, raise main frame and back away from the material pile.
DUMPING THE BUCKET:
When dumping, bring the bucket to proper dumping height which is just high enough so it will not strike
objects as the load is being dumped. With the bucket tipped, drive tractor forward and raise the bucket at
the same time to distribute the load evenly.
RAISING THE BUCKET:
WARNING:
Make sure material in bucket cannot spill out on to tractor when loader boom is raised.
Keep clear of overhead obstructions such as trees, limbs or power lines when raising
the bucket.
Side cutting is the best method of reducing large stockpiles. If the sides of the pile are
too high, use the loader to pull them down and reduce the possibility of slides.
Make sure you keep all lines, cylinders, and complete hydraulic system free of all sand, dirt, and
foreign matter. Use only clean oil in the hydraulic system. When removing the loader from the
tractor, be sure to plug all open ports. If the loader will be out of service for several days or longer,
grease the exposed polished piston shafts on the bucket and the lift cylinders.
WARNING:
NEVER attempt to operate the loader with someone near the loader frame or bucket.
If this loader is equipped with a Grapple fork, be sure Grapple teeth are closed before leaving seat of
tractor.
