4.4 PREPEARING FOR USE
The loader will be supplied to retail dealer and further to the customer on a
transport stand or mounted on the loader mounting pad of the forest trailer.
Unpacking from the stand and preparing the loader for work is done in the following
way:
1.
Lift the loader onto a flat base. Lift the loader a little bit up with a lifter, with which the
loader can be handled securely and cut the fastenings. Do not go under the loader, and be
careful against swinging and falling of the loader.
2.
Lift the loader either on the loader mounting pad or on the four point frame mounted on
the tractor frame, and fasten the loader with bolts and nuts (M24). If the loader is installed
on the loader mounting pad having an oil tank, oil resistant silicon will be put between the
flanges to avoid leakings. Don´t allow silicon to run into the oil tank. If the loader is
fastened with the forest trailer and also the telescopic support legs are mounted, the
upper fastener of the support legs must be mounted under the fastening bolts of the
loader on the back side of the loader at the same time. Tightening moment is 660 +/- 70
Nm.
3.
Mount the valve block with the tractor so that the control levers move without any
hindrance and the valves can be easily controlled. Fasten the valve block enough firm in
order to avoid movement and falling. It is not allowed to have unprotected pressurised
hydraulic pipes in the control cabin.
