OPERATING THE LOADER
OPERATING THE LOADER
CONTROL LEVER
A
When the lever is at each corner position marked by
asterisk (*), boom and bucket cylinders work at the
same time. However, the blank position (Raise & Roll
back) is not recommended for scooping because of
insufficient lift force.
To begin a test operation, slightly move the control lever
from the "N" position. Slowly raise the loader boom just
enough for the bucket to clear the ground when fully
dumped. Slowly work through the dump and roll back
cycles.
A
If the boom or bucket does not work in the directions
indicated on the label, lower the bucket to the ground,
stop the engine, and relieve all hydraulic pressure.
Recheck and correct all hydraulic connections.
OPERATING THE LOADER
The loader should be operated with the tractor engine
speed depending on the application and the operator's
level of experience. Excessive speeds are dangerous,
and may cause bucket spillage and unnecessary strain on
the tractor and loader.
When operating in temperatures below -1
(30
), run
the tractor engine below 1200 rpm until the oil
temperature exceeds -1
(30
).
The following text and illustrations offer suggested loader
and tractor operating techniques.
To reduce the possibility of roll over:
A
It is not recommended that the loader be
attached when operating another implement on
a hillside.
A
When operating the loader in rough terrain, remove
the mower to avoid damage to the mower.
FILLING THE BUCKET
Approach and enter the pile with a level bucket.
Ease control lever toward you and then left to rollback and
lift the bucket.
The rollback and lifting of the bucket will increase
efficiency because a level bucket throughout the lifting
cycle resists bucket lift and increases breakaway effort.
