Hydraulic Control Functions
Check the loader response to the control lever movement. The loader should respond according to the
ASAE standards shown. If response is incorrect, check the hydraulic hose connections at the tractor and
manifold and correct if necessary. 1-Lever control functions will be shown throughout the manual, refer back
to this section for operation regarding the 2-Lever control.
RAISE
- Pull control lever rearward to raise the bucket
or attachment.
LOWER
- Push control lever forward to lower the
bucket or attachment.
DUMP
- Move the control lever to the right to dump the
bucket or attachment.
ROLLBACK
- Move control lever to the left to roll the
bucket or attachment back after dumping.

ment to follow the contour of the surface. To place
control lever in float, lower the bucket or attachment
and then push the control lever fully forward into de-
tent. The control lever will remain in detent until manu-
ally pulled back out of detent to deactivate float.

NOTE
Oil flow limitations may not allow you to do two operations
at one time such as RAISE and ROLL BACK. The operation that
requires the least amount of force will move first.

• Operate loader from the operator’s seat only.
• Remain at the controls until the operation cycle is fully
complete.
• Lock-out valve “detent” when operating loader. See
