To prevent automatic loader movement:
• 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
your tractor operator’s manual.

to inspect hydraulic hoses, lines and fittings for damage,
wear and leaks. Repair or replace as necessary.

pins, pin lock, bolts or other retaining devices are
installed on each pin.

torque charts in this section.

that may indicate worn, loose or damaged parts.

decals are legible and not damaged. Replace damaged
safety decals.
