TRACTOR PREPARATION
REAR COUNTERWEIGHT
The use of adequate counterweight to counter balance
for maximum loader capacity is required for safe loader
operation.
Weight added to rear of the tractor provides better traction
and easier, more efficient loader operation. The tractor
can be counterweighted by filling rear tires with liquid
calcium solution and/or by the installation of rear wheel
weights.
Additional counterweight requirements will vary with
load er a ttach ments and equ ipmen t ap plications.
Additional weight can be added by installation of Three
Point Hitch mounted ballast.
Refer to tractor operator's manual for specific recomm-
endations on counterweighting tractor.
ROPS SYSTEM
The tractor must be equipped with an approved ROPS
system to ensure adequate operator's protection.
TRACTOR HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Tractor operation in a loader application significantly
increases demands on the tractor hydraulic system.
Check the tractor hydraulic system fluid level daily.
Refer to your tractor operator's manual maintenance
section for instructions regarding tractor hydraulic system
maintenance.
Adhere to recommendations in your tractor operator's
manual concerning hydraulic uid and lter specications,
and change intervals.
Add recommended rear tire liquid weight, rear
wheel or rear ballast for increased stability.
Do not exceed the manufacturer's rating for maxi-
mum gross vehicle weight.
Refer to operator's manual or ROPS serial plate
provided with tractor.
CAUTION
Certain specific conditions may not permit safe
use of loader at loader rating or may require more
careful restricted operation at the rated load.
