6.
Secure a hoist strap around loader upper boom
arms similar to figure 4. Slowly raise loader with
overhead hoist until loader upright will clear tires
(see figure 4).
7.
Drive tractor into loader until uprights of loader
mounting brackets are within 12” or 18” of loader
uprights. Shut off engine. Attach lift cylinder
function hoses (color coded green and yellow) to
corresponding tractor valve couplers.
NOTE:
It is important to attach lift cylinder hoses
(coded with yellow and green bands for loader to
function properly. Do not connect boom oil line
hoses for tilt cylinder control at this time. Connect
these after shipping brackets are removed from
attachment pin hubs in instruction 12).
8.
Start tractor engine. Retract lift cylinders fully and
continue to activate control lever for approximately
10 seconds. Cycle cylinders several times to
remove air. Extend lift cylinders four or five inches
from the fully closed position to ensure loader
upright pin will be first part of loader upright to make
contact with stop surface of loader mounting
brackets. Shut off engine and set brakes and
remove key.
MOUNTING LOADER TO TRACTOR (Figures 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7 & 8)
WARNING:
Loader must be supported
before removing hardware securing loader
to shipping pallet, or loader will tip over.
WARNING:
To avoid injury during instal-
lation of quick attach loader, do not permit
bystanders within ten feet of loader.
WARNING:
To avoid injury during
installation of quick attach loader, an
overhead hoist must be used for initial
mouniing. Parking stands are not opera-
tional without bucket or heavy attachment
mounted. Bale spear or pallet fork alone
do not provide enough weight.

1.
Loop chain or sling under each tilt cylinder, around
loader outer knee plate and hook to each outer knee
plate (see figure 3). Put slight tension on overhead
hoist to prevent loader from tipping.
2.
Temporarily remove linch pins (B) and hitch pins
(A) (see figure 3) and keep with loader for securing
loader uprights to mid mounting brackets later.
3.
Remove 3/8” lock nuts (E) and flat washers (D)
which fasten loader uprights to pallet and can be
found inside uprights near top end. Remove 3/8”
lock nuts (E) which fasten shipping angle brackets
(G) to pallet. Remove 5/16” lock nuts (H) from U-
bolts (J) to remove shipping angle brackets (G) from
loader. Discard shipping brackets and hardware.
Raise loader off pallet and remove pallet with bucket
(see figure 2A).
WARNING: Loader uprights may rotate
downward when loader is lifted from pallet.
4.
Lower loader from vertical shipping position to
horizontal, positioning scraps of cardboard on floor
under loader to protect loader paint (see figure 2B).
5.
Install hydraulic plumbing for loader to tractor using
hose kit for mid-mount valve.
