10.2.2 Removal of Loader
NOTE – The removal of bucket only can be done
very quickly and easily (See 3.2.4). For
your convenience, only remove complete
loader assembly if absolutely necessary.
1.
Position loader on hard level surface.
Raise boom. Put bucket in dump
position. Lower the loader until front
edge of bucket is on the ground and shut
tractor off.
2.
Remove pins and put the parking legs
down (refer photo 5). Re-use pins to
secure parking legs in “down” position.
3.
Raise loader and fully retract bucket.
Lower the loader until the parking legs
make contact on the ground. Tip the
bucket until bucket cutting edge and the
parking legs touch the ground.
4.
Remove the pins from the mounting
brackets securing the loader upright.
Repeat procedure on both sides (refer
photo 4). (Reinstall pins in the uprights
after removing loader to prevent loss.)
5.
Start the tractor and slowly retract the
bucket cylinders until the bottom of the
bucket rests firmly on the ground.
6.
Back the tractor up slowly until the
uprights are clear of the mounting
brackets. Observe the four hoses to
ensure they are not caught or stretched
when backing away from loader.
7.
Shift the control valve into the neutral
position.
8.
Check that the uprights will clear the front
tyres. If additional clearance is required,
extend the lift cylinders (refer photo 3).
9.
Shut the tractor OFF and disconnect the
hydraulic hoses to ensure they will be
clear of the tractor. Connect couplers T1
to T1 on the tractor.
10.
Start the tractor and carefully back out of
the loader.
11.
Provide additional supports (not
included) under both upright assemblies
to ensure loader unit is stable and will
not topple over (refer photo 1).
10.2.3 Installation of Bucket
1.
With bucket on ground use hydraulic
control to “hook” bucket on boom.
2.
Secure bucket to boom by pulling lever

hydraulic couplers.
10.2.4 Removal of Bucket
