3. Start-up
Connect the hydraulic hoses of the Loader to the dual-circuit external hydraulic system
of the tractor.
Connect the two-section hydraulic valve block (installed on the frame of the Loader) to
the hydraulic system of the tractor if not equipped with a dual-circuit external hydraulic system
(Chapter 5.3).
Install the controller (joystick) inside the cab if the tractor is not equipped with a dual-
circuit external hydraulic system (Chapter 4.1).
3.1 Loader Control Lever Functions
The joystick allows you to control the operation of the valve block and solenoid valve
for smooth and precise control of the Loader. The valve block controls the operation of the
boom and work tool, while the solenoid valve allows you to close and open the grabber.
The first start-up of a newly purchased front loader should be performed
in the presence of an experienced operator or an employee of the
dealer’s service centre.
Prior to first start-up of the Loader, read this manual carefully paying
close attention to the sections concerning the safety of the operator and
bystanders.
In the event of any uncertainties regarding safety, contact the
dealer/manufacturer.
Do not adjust the hydraulic distributor or the overflow valve. It has been
correctly set by the manufacturer.
