Caution:
The tractor/loader should only be operated
with all safety equipment properly installed.
▶ Precautionary notes
Do not lower the edge of the bucket too low for
loading. Keep the bottom of the bucket level with the
ground when loading.
▶ Important :
Do not use the bucket for pushing down material with
bucket cylinders partially extended. Damage to the
cylinders may result.
▶ Important :
Do not operate bucket cylinders without bucket, it may
damage to the bucket cylinders.
▶ Important :
Do not tip bucket cutting edge down (Fully extended
bucket cylinders) during backfilling/back grading
operations.
▶ Important :
Operation with front tractor wheels off the ground is
not recommended.
Position vehicle to be loaded as near the pile as
possible and in such a direction as to minimize the
amount of tractor turning required dumping.
Do not lower the loader with the tractor engine shut off.
Keep the unit clean and perform regular service.
Observe safety messages whenever cleaning, servicing,
or lubricating.
We urge you to follow this advice:
1. Read and understand this manual as well as the
tractor operator's manual.
2. Remember and observe the safety precautions
brought to your attention in this manual, the tractor
manual and on the machinery itself.
3. Use good common sense in the everyday operation
of this unit.
Safety recommendations can never be all-inclusive, and
you are responsible for watching out for and avoiding
unsafe conditions.
4. Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its
ability to do a job or to do so safely is in question,
don't try it.
5. Don't hurry the learning process or take the unit for
granted. Ease into it and become familiar with your new
loader and tractor.
6. Recommended to work above 2000rpm
Caution : When lowering a heavy load, ease it
downward slowly. Never drop a loaded
attachment and "catch it hydraulically".
Stopping a load after it has gained downward
momentum places undue strain on the unit and may
cause unnecessary damage to the loader or tractor or
even worse, personal injury.
Caution : Before disconnecting hydraulic lines,
relieve all hydraulic pressure. Escaping
hydraulic oil under pressure can have enough
force to penetrate the skin causing serious personal
injury. If injured by escaping hydraulic oil seek medical
attention immediately.
Caution : Do not operate the loader if the
fittings are leaking or if the hoses are
damaged. A sudden line burst would cause the
mainframe to drop suddenly, causing damage to the
tractor or loader or injury to personnel.
▶ Initial loader operation
Before operating the loader, fully raise and lower the
boom two or three times. Then raise the bucket
approximately four (4) feet above the ground and cycle
the bucket cylinders three times. Lower the bucket to
the ground. Check the tractor hydraulic oil and the
correct oil level.
Caution :
Before leaving the machine, stop the engine, remove
the key, place all controls in neutral, and either set the
parking brake or place tractor in park as equipped.
Always keep cylinders in a retracted position when the
loader is not in use to guard against rust and
contamination which may cause damage to the cylinder
rods or hydraulic system.
▶ Cold weather operation
For smooth operation in cold weather, let the tractor
warm up. Slowly cycle the lift and bucket cylinders
several times to warm the oil in the hydraulic system.
The loader may operate erratically until the hydraulic oil
has warmed to operating temperatures.
