Allied 595 - Operation and Maintenance.11

Operation and Maintenance
GENERAL
Refer to tractor Operator’s Manual for Operating
information on the tractor’s hydraulic system.
Hydraulic systems using auxiliary valves should have
them located for easy reach from the tractor seat.
Hoses should be connected in such a manner that
pushing forward on valve handles lowers the boom or
dumps the bucket.
CAUTION: Always connect boom hoses to float
section.
Weight added to rear of tractor provides better traction
and an easier, more efficient loader operation. Extra
weight, along with widening the rear wheels, reduces
the risk of roll-over.
WARNING
The smaller the tractor is, the easier it will roll. We
recommend that weight be added to rear tires with
liquid or by the installation of rear wheel weights.
Where additional weight is required, a counterweight
box can be fabricated for tractors with three-point
hitches.
Extra weight can also be added by the use of a heavy
implement mounted to the three-point hitch.
A roll-over protective structure is also recommended.
In cold weather, operate the tractor’s engine at idle
speed until the hydraulic fluid is warmed up. High
engine speed when the hydraulic fluid is cold will
cause the pump to wear prematurely.
Under normal conditions, operate the tractor’s engine
at Vi throttle. Shift the tractor into a low gear before
entering a pile of material to minimize strain on loader
arms.
