LOADER OPERATION
CAUTION: The tractor/loader should only be operated with all safety
equipment properly installed.
Precautionary Notes
Do not lower the edge of the bucket too low for loading. Keep the bottom of the bucket level
with the ground when loading.
Important:
Do not use the bucket for pushing down material with bucket cylinders partially extended.
Damage to the cylinders may result.
Important:
When back grading the angle between the bottom of the
bucket and the ground must not be more than 15 degrees.
Refer to Figure. Failure to follow these instructions could
cause loader attachment cylinders to fail and void warranty.
Important:
Operation with front tractor wheels off the ground is not
recommended. 15 degrees.
Position vehicle to be loaded as near the pile as possible and in such a direction as to minimize
the amount of tractor turning required to dump.
Do not lower the loader with the tractor engine shut off.
Keep the unit clean and perform regular service. Observe safety messages whenever cleaning,
servicing, or lubricating.
We urge you to follow this advice:
1. Read and understand this manual as well as the Tractor Operator’s Manual.
2. Remember and observe the Safety Precautions brought to your attention in this manual, the
tractor manual and on the machinery itself.
3. Use good common sense in the everyday operation of this unit. Safety recommendations
can never be all-inclusive and you are responsible for watching out for and avoiding unsafe
conditions.
4. Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job or to do so safely is
in question, don’t try it.
5. Don’t hurry the learning process or take the unit for granted. Ease into it and become
familiar with your new loader and tractor.
CAUTION: When lowering a heavy load, ease it downward slowly.
Never drop a loaded attachment and “catch it hydraulically. Stopping a
load after it has gained downward momentum places undue strain on
the unit and may cause unnecessary damage to the loader or tractor or
even worse, personal injury.
