Cylinder Lock
in
"Storage" Position
Engaging Lock
Before proceeding
to
engage the Lift Cylinder Lock
and
to prevent Loader movement, first disengage the Hydro-
static
Pump
Drive Belt Idler.
1.
Remove the Lockpin from the Cylinder Lock.
2.
Raise the
Load
Arms far enough
to
allow the Lock
to
drop
down around the Cylinder Rod.
3.
Lower the Load Arms slightly until the Lock firmly
rests against the Cylinder.
NOTE: DO
NOT
drop the Load
Arms
onto the
•
Lock NOR continue
to
lower the Load Arms
after the Lock contacts the Cylinder to avoid
damaging the Lock
or
the Cylinder.
Disengaging the Cylinder Lock
A
WARNING:
BE
SURE to disengage the
Hydrostatic Pump Drive Belt Idler BEFORE
proceeding.
Two methods can be followed
to
disengage
and
secure the
Lock back into its "storage" position.
The
recommended
method
is
to
have a second person disengage the Lock
while the Loader Operator raises the
Load
Arms. Then,
after the Lock
is
released, the second person also locks it
back into "storage".
An alternative method of disengaging the Lock
is
to
do
so
as
follows:
1.
Raise the Load Arms slightly away from contact
with the Lift Cylinder Lock.
2.
Using the left hand, reach
around
the top right
corner
of
the Overhead
Guard
and
lift
and
hold the
Lock up so
that
the Cylinder can be retracted
and
the Lock can be cleared by the Cylinder when the
Load
Arms are lowered.
3.
After the Lock
is
cleared completely, release the
Lock with the left hand and continue to lower the
Load Arms down until they contact the Loader
Frame. With the
Load
Arms down, shut the engine
off and secure the Lockpin to place the Lift
Cylinder Lock back into the "storage" position.
GENERAL INFORMATION
A
WARNING: Fasten and properly adjust the
Seat Belt BEFORE starting the Loader
engine. Know
how
to
stop
the Loader
BEFORE starting
it.
If
the Loader engine kills while the Lift / Tilt T
-bar
is
being operated
to
raise the Load Arms, the Load Arms
will stop rising
and
hold at the level already reached.
Lower the Load Arms
and
return the T
-bar
to
"N
eutral"
before attempting to restart the engine.
If
the
Loader
engine kills while the Lift/Tilt
T-bar
is
being operated to
lower the Load Arms, the Arms will continue
to
lower
until they rest against the Frame. Return the T
-bar
to
"N
eutral" before attempting to restart the engine.
Braking - Stopping Loader Motion
The Hydrostatic Drive Pumps
of
the Skid Steer Loader
control braking and stopping Loader forward
and
reverse movement. When the Traction T
-bar
is
moved to
the straight "Neutral" position, all movement
of
the
Wheels
is
stopped.
By
all means,
BE
SURE to move the
Traction T-bar gradually
and
deliberately
to
slow-down
and
stop the Wheels .
Load
Arm
FLoat & auxiliary Hydraulics "Detent"
Positions
HL360 Skid Steer Loaders are available in 2-Spool
and
3-Spool Control Valve models. Models with 3-Spool
Control Valves are factory equipped with Auxiliary
Hydraulic connections
and
feature a Load Arm Float,
"detent", on the Lift / Tilt T
-bar
as
well as a "detent"
position for the Auxiliary Hydraulics connections.
The
"Float"
position for the Lift/Tilt T-bar
is
reached by
pushing the
T-bar
all the way forward. This
T-bar
position causes oil flow to effectively bypass the Lift
Cylinders thus allowing the
Load
Arms to "float" while
following the ground contour.
A
WARNING: NEVER push the LiftlTIIt T-bar,
on
a unit equipped with 3-Spool Control
Valve (characterized
by
Foot Pedals and
Auxiliary Hydraulics connections), all the way
forward into the "Float" position when the Load
Arms are raised.
The "detent" position for the Auxiliary Hydraulics
connections
is
reached
by
pushing the "toe" end
of
the
Foot
Pedal all the way down. The Auxiliary Hydraulics
"detent" position enables operations
of
special
accessories, from outside the Operator's Compartment.
