F. Rollback bucket slightly while lowering loader
boom down until the parking stands make firm con-
tact with ground. Dump bucket until bucket touches
the ground.
NOTE
Driving the tractor forward slowly while position-
ing loader will allow parking stands to contact
ground firmly.
G. Retract loader lift cylinders
H. Slowly rollback bucket while driving slightly
forward with tractor. Doing this will allow mounting
brackets to guide loader as loader is being parked
off of tractor.
I. Rollback bucket completely. Make sure all loader
components clear tractor. Stop the tractor engine and
then work valve control lever/levers to relieve hydraulic
fluid pressure in lines. Refer to tractor operator manual
for additional information.

HARD LEVEL SURFACE. ENGAGE ALL
SAFETY DEVICES TO PREVENT LOADER

OR REMOVAL OF PARTS COULD CAUSE
LOADER TO COLLAPSE RESULTING IN
INJURY.
