Operator’s Manual
OPERATING THE LOADER
CAUTION: Operate loader controls only when seated in operator’s
seat. Before leaving the seat, set the bucket on the ground, stop engine
and
engage
hand
brake.
WARNING: When using loader, be alert of bucket position at all times.
Loader in raised position with bucket rolled back can dump material onto
tractor
causing
injury.
WARNING:
Contact
with
overhead power lines can cause serious injury
or death. Make sure there is enough clearance between raised
equipment and overhead power lines.
CAUTION:
Stop
loader
arms
gradually when lowering or lifting, to reduce
stress on the machine and to improve tractor stability.
CAUTION: A loaded bucket should be transported in a low position at
slow ground speeds. Make turns slowly and use tractor brakes cautiously.
A full bucket in the raised position alters the center of gravity location of
the machine and makes the tractor less stable.
DO NOT use loader on slopes with more than 5 degrees incline.
Spread rear wheels to the widest setting to improve tractor stability.
CAUTION:
When
handling
heavy
loads, use liquid in rear tires.
Preferably, have rear tires loaded all the time. Cast iron weights are
also available and may be combined with liquid.
Adequate weight on rear axle is required for safe loader operation.
DO NOT use front weights while operating loader.
WARNING: When using bale lift: Never raise round bale to full height
with bale lift rolled back, as serious injury or death can occur.
WARNING: When using pallet forks: Do not use pallet forks to handle
round bales. Such loads can roll back onto the operator, causing serious
injury. Pallet forks were specifically designed to load palleted materials
only. Use only factory approved attachments to handle round bales.
Before work:
Inspect loader hoses for damages or leaks
If loader was not used for a long time (three months or so), lubricate grease fittings (see picture).
Check bucket latch for proper engagement:
1.
Check visually whether the bucket latch is properly engaged.
2.
Start engine and check proper latching by lowering loader and pushing loader bucket against the
ground by moving the joystick forward. (Improperly attached buckets will get loose while pushed
against the ground). Bucket must be level (in horizontal position) during this test.
