1/4” Minimum
2” Maximum
F. Install cuff to secure loader subframe to brack-
et. Torque nut to 60 - 70 ft./lbs. (Figure 2-4)
G. Raise boom high enough to remove parking
stands and store as shown in Figure 2-5.
H. Secure hydraulic hoses to tractor to prevent
interference. It is recommended that hoses be run
under tractor operator’s platform.
I. Extend and retract both sets of cylinders begin-
ning with short strokes. Gradually increase the
length of stroke until cylinders “bottom out in each
direction. Hold valve open with cylinders “bottomed
out” for 3-5 seconds. This will purge air from hydraulic
components.
NOTE
When valve is held open, a squealing noise
will be heard when cylinders “bottom out”
and hydraulic oil passes through the relief
valve. This may cause overheating if valve is
held open longer than 5 seconds.
Make certain valve operates as shown on
decal on top of valve shield. If valve opera-
tion is incorrect, see Figure 5-2 for correct
valve connection.
CAUTION
AIR IN HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS WILL CAUSE
ERRATIC LOADER OPERATION. PURGE AIR
FROM SYSTEM AS DESCRIBED ABOVE BEFORE
WORKING WITH LOADER. FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND EQUIP-
MENT DAMAGE.
J. Check hydraulic oil level in tractor hydraulic
reservoir. Refer to tractor operator’s manual.
E. Lower loader rear subframe by extending bucket
cylinders (dump) allowing it to seat on rear brackets.
There must be equal space between loader frame
and rear bracket (Figure 2-3) on each side.
