Aligning the front loader for mounting
NOTICE
Material damage due to abrupt operation!
When aligning the front loader, abrupt movements can cause damage to the front loader and the
mountings.
Before mounting the front loader, check that the operating lever moves smoothly.
Make sure that the tractor and front loader are operated gently.
If the front loader is being mounted for the first time or if it was previously used with a different tractor,
the front loader pillars can be too high or too low for mounting. In this case, the front loader has to be
aligned for mounting.
Aligning and mounting the front loader:
(1) Release the front loader locking mechanism.
Pull out both of the locking pins.
