Dismounting Loader and Mounting Loader to Tractor
Dismounting Loader
To avoid injury during installation of loader:
• Place loader bucket against barrier to restrict forward movement of loader.
• Do not permit bystanders within 15 feet of loader.
Loader must be equipped with a bucket or other optional attachment to dismount from
tractor.
When dismounting loader, maintain clearance between loader side frames and tractor hood
and front axle.
]It is important not to put excessive weight on parking stands with lift cylinder retraction.
Damage may result.
1. Locate tractor and loader on firm level ground.
2. With bucket raised above ground, tilt bucket
down approximately 30° from level.
3. Lower boom by retracting lift cylinders to lift
tractor front end (tires can be off ground).
4. Stop engine. Allow tractor front end to lower
by relaxing ONLY lift cylinders with control
lever. This will remove pressure on hitch pins.
See Figure Asm-L-0040.
Note: Do not relax bucket cylinders.
5. Set parking brake. Rotate parking stands from
storage position by removing linch pins and
clevis pins. Reinstall clevis pins and linch pins
when parking stands are in operation position
(See Figure Asm-L-0015).
6. Remove linch pins and 1-1/4” hitch pins from loader upright.
7. Start tractor engine and release brakes. Retract bucket cylinders to allow parking stands to contact ground.
