Operation - 295 Loader
Attaching the Loader to Your Tractor
1. Postions 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 subframe 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.
On self leveling loaders, the bucket will dump
at the same time the loader is raised. Therefore,
Operate both hydraulic levers together.
4. Drive the tractor ahead until the subframe is past the front axle and the front hook is close to
mounting boss.
Check front grille clearance during installation to
avoid tractor damage.
5. Retract or extend the lift cylinders to line up the front hook with the mounting boss.
On self leveling loaders, the bucket will roll back
at the same time the loader is lowered. Therefore,
operate both hydraulic levers together.
6. When the hook is lined up, dump or roll back the bucket to lower or raise the subframe upright
to align with the mounting boot.
