Operating Suggestions for Loading
When handling heavy loads, be sure to lower lift arms slowly. This is known as feathering the
hydraulic lever. If load is lowered too fast and stopped suddenly, excessive shock loads are created
which can damage loader or tractor.
When loading bucket, drive straight into material. Attempting to turn tractor while loading bucket
can cause damage to both the loader and tractor.
Operation - 495 & S495 Loader
Note: Bottom surface of bucket is parallel to
line on motion.
Work both levers back to direct pressure to
both cylinders.
Combined action of lift and bucket cylinders
increases loading efficiency.
A straight bottom offers more resistance to lift.
To increase loading efficiency. Minimize angle
of turn and length to run between pile and
spreader.
Leave material, which drifts over the bucket sides
for final cleanup.
