DISMOUNTING LOADER
WARNING: To avoid injury during
installation or removal of loader, do not allow
bystanders within 10 feet of loader and
bucket or optional attachment.
WARNING: Always have a heavy
attachment, such as a bucket, mounted to
loader when it is removed from tractor. Pallet
fork, bale spear, or similar attachments are
too light to safely counterbalance loader
boom arms when loader is dismounted from
tractor.
1. Locate tractor and loader on firm level ground.
2. With bucket raised above ground, tilt down
approximately 30 degrees 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 C).
NOTE: Do not relax bucket cylinders.
5. Set parking brake. Rotate parking stands from
storage position to operation position by removing
linch pins and hitch pins. Reinstall hitch pin and linch
pin when parking stands are in operation position (see
Figure B).
CAUTION: Keep clear of dropping parking
stands. Dropping parking stands could cause
injury.
6. Remove linch pins and 1-1/2" hitch pins from loader
upright. Remove tarp strap securing loader hoses
from tractor handrail.
7. Start tractor engine and release brakes. Retract
bucket cylinders to allow parking stands to contact
ground.
WARNING: It is important not to put excessive
weight on parking stands by retracting lift
cylinders. Damage may result.
8. Extend lift cylinders 10" to 12" to rotate top of loader
uprights forward, out of mid mounting brackets,
allowing tractor to be pushed rearward. Retract
bucket cylinders until lower loader upright pins clear
mount pin saddles and front tires and/or fenders (see
Figure D).
9. Move tractor rearward approximately 6", taking care
not to stretch hydraulic hoses.
10.Stop tractor engine and set parking brake. Relax lift
cylinders and bucket cylinders by moving each control
lever in both directions. Disconnect hydraulic hoses at
mid mounting couplers on right side of loader. Install
plastic dust plugs and caps on couplers.
11.Start tractor engine and release brakes. Slowly back
tractor out of and away from loader.
