Check Seat and Restraint Bar Operation
Electrical switches in the seat and restraint bar MUST
be closed (operator sitting on the seat and restraint bar
lowered) to complete the circuit and start the engine.
Check Bucket Cutting Edge
The bucket cutting edge should be replaced when it is
worn to within 1" (25 mm) of the bucket body.
Check Tire Pressure
WARNING
Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous.
When possible, trained personnel should
service and mount tires. DO NOT place your
fingers on the tire bead or rim during inflation;
serious injury or amputation could result. To
avoid possible death or serious injury, follow
the safety precautions below:
q
BE SURE the rim is clean and free of rust.
q Lubricate the tire beads and rim flanges with a soap
solution. Do NOT use oil or grease.
q
Use a clip-on tire chuck with remote hose and
gauge, allowing you to stand clear while inflating
the tire.
q
NEVER inflate beyond 35 PSI (240 kPa) to seat the
beads. If the beads have NOT seated by the time the
pressure reaches 35 PSI, deflate the assembly,
reposition the tire on the rim, lubricate both parts
and re-inflate. Inflation pressure beyond 35 PSI
with unseated beads may break the bead or rim with
explosive force sufficient to cause death or serious
injury.
q
After seating the beads, adjust the inflation pressure
to the recommended operating pressure.
q
Do NOT weld, braze or otherwise attempt to repair
and use a damaged rim.

Correct tire pressure should be maintained for all tires to
enhance operating stability and extend tire life. Refer to
the above chart for the proper inflation pressure.
When installing tires, BE SURE they are the same size
and style on the same side of the loader. ALWAYS
replace tires with the same size as the original
equipment.
