OPERATION
General Operating Notes: The following section provides general
information that can be applied towards your specific application. Ensure that
you’ve read and understood this manual and your
Tractor Manual . Observe all
safety precautions and follow local laws pertaining to the use of your loader and
tractor.
Hydraulics: Under normal conditions, operate the tractor’s engine at ½ throttle.
Note:
In cold weather, tractors with load sense hydraulic systems require longer
warm-up periods for the loader to respond when valve is operated.
In cold weather, operate the tractor’s engine at idle speed until the hydraulic fluid
is warmed up. Slowly cycle the loader and attachment several times to further
warm the hydraulic fluid. High engine speed when the hydraulic fluid is cold will
cause the pump to wear prematurely and may cause the loader to operate
erratically.
The hydraulic hoses should be connected to
the loader valve such that pushing forward on
handles lowers the loader or dumps the
attachment. When using the
Allied Remote
Hydraulic Control pushing forward should
lower the loader while pushing directly right
should dump the attachment.
The Allied Remote Hydraulic Control is
equipped with a momentary push button
switch and a lock. The push button is for
operating a third function when an electric
diverter is installed. The third function is
normally for operating a grapple. When the
button is depressed the valve ports are open
to the grapple cylinders. Shifting the joystick
to the left while button is depressed will close
the grapple and shifting to the right will open.
IMPORTANT:
Always feather the grapple
when closing or opening to avoid
unnecessary shock loads on grapple
components.
WARNING
Keep grapple closed at all times when bucket
is empty and carry bucket low to the ground.
Avoid operating near power wires.
