Operator’s Manual
OPERATING THE LOADER
Operate loader with joystick:
1.
Pull joystick back to raise the loader.
2.
Push joystick forward to lower the loader.
3.
Push joystick all the way forward to set loader in
floating position (loader is free to move up and down to
follow the terrain); joystick is detente in this position
4.
Push joystick ot the right to dump the bucket.
Note: Most 50-series loaders are equipped with a quick
dump feature. Moving joystick to the right against light
spring produces dump at regular speed. Moving joystick
further to the right against a heavier spring will produce
fast dumping of the bucket. During fast dump, oil from
the rod side of the cylinder re-circulates into the barrel
side of the cylinder. Fast dump is not a floating position –
the speed of dump is still controlled by the joystick.
5.
Pull joystick to the left to roll the bucket back
Operating hints:
Place material in the center of the bucket. This reduces stress on the loader frame and improves tractor
stability.
When loading bucket, drive straight into material, with
bucket in level. Attempting to turn tractor while loading
bucket can cause damage to both the loader and tractor.
When loading bucket, to best utilize its capacity, roll
bucket back and at the same time lift the loader.
Do not use the bucket in dumped position for bull-dozing.
This will cause severe shock loading on the bucket cylinders
and make it more difficult to maintain a level grade.
Backgrade work surface with a loaded bucket. Have
the joystick in a floating position (all the way forward) so
full weight of the bucket is scraping ground. Have the
bucket in level (use heel of bucket for back grading).
