Overview

This document is an operator's manual for the New Holland 16LA and 17LA Loaders, designed for use with New Holland TC35A, TC40A, TC45A, TC35DA, TC40DA, and TC45DA Tractors. It provides essential information for safe operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of these loader models.

Function Description

The New Holland 16LA and 17LA Loaders are front-end loaders intended for loading and moving materials using various buckets or a fork. The 16LA model is designed to mount on New Holland TC35A, 40A, and 45A compact tractors, as well as TC35DA, 40DA, and 45DA compact tractors not equipped with Supersteer® front axles. The 17LA model is specifically designed for New Holland TC35DA, 40DA, and 45DA compact tractors equipped with Supersteer® front axles only. These loaders enhance the versatility of the compatible tractors, allowing them to perform tasks such as scooping, lifting, and transporting loose materials like soil, gravel, feed, or other agricultural and construction materials.

Important Technical Specifications

The manual emphasizes the importance of proper tractor configuration for safe and stable loader operation. Key specifications and recommendations include:

  • Tractor Compatibility:
    • 16LA: Compatible with New Holland TC35A, TC40A, TC45A, TC35DA, TC40DA, and TC45DA compact tractors (excluding those with Supersteer® front axles).
    • 17LA: Compatible with New Holland TC35DA, TC40DA, and TC45DA compact tractors (specifically those equipped with Supersteer® front axles).
  • Stability Requirements: The manual strongly recommends adding wheel ballast and/or rear weight to the tractor as specified in the tractor's owner's manual to ensure adequate stability when using the loader. It also advises positioning the wheels to the tractor manufacturer's widest recommended settings to further increase stability.
  • Safety Features: The loaders are equipped with safety decals indicating potential hazards and operational warnings. These include warnings about rollover, falling objects, proper parking procedures, and the dangers of working under a raised loader. The manual also references the loader control neutral lock to prevent accidental cycling during transport.
  • Hydraulic System: The loader operates using the tractor's hydraulic system. The manual warns against tampering with or changing relief valve settings, as these are preset for optimum performance and safety. Incorrect settings can overload the hydraulic system, leading to equipment failure and operator injury.
  • Lift Capacity and Break-away Capacity: These capacities diminish as the loader height increases. Operators are cautioned not to grasp more material than the loader is designed to handle at elevated heights.

Usage Features

The manual outlines critical usage features and operational guidelines to ensure safe and efficient use of the loaders:

  • Operator Training: All operators must read the manual thoroughly and be familiar with safety precautions and operating procedures before using the loader.
  • Operating Position: The tractor should only be operated from the operator's seat.
  • ROPS and Seat Belt: Use of an approved Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt is mandatory for safe operation. If the tractor has a cab, it must be approved for rollover protection. A Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) is also recommended.
  • Speed Control: Move and turn the tractor at low speeds, especially when the loader is raised or carrying a load.
  • Load Handling:
    • Carry the bucket or attachment in the lowest possible position to maintain maximum stability and increase visibility during transport.
    • Avoid lifting loads higher than necessary to clear the ground while moving.
    • Do not handle large, heavy objects like bales, logs, or oil drums without specific special attachments.
    • Be aware of the danger of overturning or upending the tractor, and the risk of objects rolling or sliding onto the operator when handling heavy loads.
  • Terrain Awareness: Exercise caution on steep grades. Select the proper gear before attempting to travel on a steep grade and avoid shifting gears or "free wheeling" on grades. Avoid loose fill, rocks, and holes, as these are dangerous conditions.
  • Overhead Obstacles: Avoid overhead wires and obstacles when the loader is raised to prevent electrocution or damage.
  • Parking and Servicing: When parking or servicing, lower the bucket to the ground, stop the engine, set the park brake, and remove the key from the ignition. Always block a raised loader or attachment securely if working underneath it.
  • Bucket Shift (17LA specific): For the 17LA model with Supersteer® tractors, a warning decal indicates that the bucket will shift in the opposite direction from which the front wheels are turned, with a maximum shift of approximately 8 inches. This is most noticeable when the tractor is stationary, and operators must heed this warning to prevent serious injury.

Maintenance Features

The manual provides essential maintenance guidelines to ensure the longevity and safe operation of the loader:

  • Eye Protection: Always wear eye protection when servicing or repairing the loader.
  • Modifications: Do not modify, alter, or permit unauthorized modifications to the loader or its components without consulting a New Holland dealer.
  • Hydraulic System Safety:
    • Escaping hydraulic fluid or diesel fuel under pressure can cause serious injury. Never use hands to check for leaks; use cardboard or heavy paper.
    • Stop the engine and relieve pressure in the system before connecting or disconnecting hydraulic or diesel lines and fittings.
    • Tighten all lines and fittings before starting the engine and pressurizing the system.
    • Seek immediate medical attention if fluid is injected into the skin to prevent gangrene.
  • Component Replacement: When servicing or replacing pins in cylinder ends, buckets, etc., always use a brass drift to prevent equipment damage and personal injury from flying metal fragments.
  • Decal Maintenance: Regularly check safety decals for legibility and replace any that are damaged, missing, or illegible. The manual includes diagrams showing the placement of various safety and model decals (e.g., Danger/Warning Decal, Warning Decal for Bucket Shift, and 16LA/17LA New Holland decals).
  • Ecology and Environment: The manual includes a section on ecology and the environment, providing recommendations for responsible handling and disposal of oils, fuels, coolants, and other chemical and petrochemical products. This includes avoiding spillage, not burning contaminated fuels, and properly disposing of used fluids. It also advises against opening the air-conditioning system yourself due to the contained gases.
