4 Use the front frame mounted tie downs to attach
pulling devise. ( fig. C1703 ) Use the rear tie downs to
pull the loader backwards. ( fig. C1701 )
3 The loader parking brake system is released by
hydrostatic pressure. To release the parking brake when
the unit has failed you must pressurize the brake system
manually. A service override for the brake valve has been
incorporated for use by Thomas Dealers. The normal
position of the plunger is down and turned into the locked
position. To release the brake, turn the release plunger
counter clockwise. (fig. C2362) Next, go to the rear of the
loader and access the small quick connector located next
to the hydraulic oil filter in the engine compartment. (fig.
C2354) Use a port -a - power to pressurize this line to
200 psi (13.8 bar). The brakes are now released.
1 Remove the seat and hydrostatic shield.
2 Loosen the high pressure relief valve caps 4 complete
turns. There are 4 high pressure relief valves, 2 on the top
side, and 2 on the bottom side of the tandem pump. Be
sure to loosen all 4. (fig. C2359) Torque caps 30 to 50 ft /
lbs (41 to 68 N.m.) upon reassembly.
