Attaching the Loader to Your Tractor
1.
Position the tractor as centrally as possible and drive, using lowest gear possible, into the
loader frame until hoses can be connected.
2.
Couple up the hydraulic hose lines to the loader or tractor valve ensuring proper function
(see Operator and Maintenance Section)
NOTE: When mounting the loader for the first time, slowly
work the cylinders back and forth, so that most of the air is
removed. Loosen the bolts on the hooks so that they can
be moved. Also, check that the nuts in the rear of the
subframes are in line with the holes.
3.
On some tractors, the lift cylinders may have to be extended slightly,
so that the subframes can clear the front axle. Do not extend the
cylinders more than is required.
4.
Drive the tractor ahead until the subframe is past the front axle and the front hook is close
to mounting boss.
WARNING! Check front grill clearance during
installation to avoid tractor damage.
5.
Retract or extend the lift cylinders to line up the front hook with the mounting boss.
