H. Store ·parking stands as shown in Figure 2-6.
I. Secure hydraulic hoses to tractor to prevent in
terference. It is recommended that hoses
be
run under
tractor operator's platform.
J.
Extend and retract both sets of cylinders beginn-
ing with short strokes. Gradually increase the length
·of stroke until cylinders "bottom out" in each direc
tion. Hold valve open with cylinders "bottomed out"
for 3-5 seconds. This will purge air from hydraulic
components.
NOTE
When valve is held open, a squealing noise
will be heard when cylinders "bottom out" and
hydraulic oil passes through relief valve. This
may cause overheating if valve is held open
longer than 5 seconds.
·
K. Check hydraulic oil level in either tractor hydraulic
reservoir or loader hydraulic reservoir, whichever is
applicable.
2-2 PTO PUMP MOUNTING
A. Slip pump over PTO shaft and connect chain
securely to an immovable location on tractor. (Figure
2-7) Pump must be chained in close to tractor.
B. Route hoses through a protected area that will
not require removal of fittings when loader is remov
ed from tractor. Do not allow hoses to become pinch
ed or kinked .
