Loader Installation
NOTE: Tirehand installations vary based on the carrier vehicle. Contact IMT for specific
installation assistance.
1 Mount the Tirehand to loader arms using the original loader pins.
2 Splice the flow control divider into the existing pressure line. Continue the original line to its
original destination (bucket, etc.), and route the controlled line (with 15 gpm (56.8 lpm) at 2500
- 3000 psi (172.4 - 206.8 bar)) to the tirehand valvebank.
3 Route the hoses as shown in figure below.
4 Locate the control handle inside the cab where convenient to operate.
5 Connect the 3-wire power cable to 12-volt power. The green wire connects to 12V positive, the
black wire to the coil on the flow divider, and the white wire to ground.
6 Route the control cable to the tirehand and connect.
7 Check all hoses and cables for clearances. Make sure that steering or moving the arms will not
pinch or overstress the hoses or cables.
8 Fill the reservoir. Start the loader’s engine and operate all controls to purge air from the system.
With the loader running, check for leaks and repair if necessary.
9 Recheck all hoses and cables for clearance.
10 Check the reservoir oil level and fill if necessary.
11 Test operate the tirehand.
NOTE
Stop blocks should be welded to the loader
arms to limit articulation, if necessary
Locations and sizes of stops to be
determined at time of installation.
