General Instructions and Information
As with any piece of equipment, the care with which your loader is operated
and maintained will greatly affect it's life and the safety of the people using it.
1. Keep all pivots well lubricated for longer bushing life. Inspect every 500
hours of operation for wear.
2. Periodically check all bolts for tightness. If any bolt is damaged, replace it
with a bolt of equivalent grade or strength.
3. Follow the recommendations of the tractor manufacturer in regards to the
quantity of oil used.
4. Check oil level frequently to ensure the system is full.
5. When making an oil check, be sure lift cylinders are retracted.
6
. Before operating the loader, particularly if the loader is left standing for
any length of time, check the hydraulic system and oil level.
7. When installing hydraulics, follow the circuit carefully. See hydraulic
hook-up section and make sure the hoses dip not contact any hot
manifolds or sharp edges on tractor. After assembly, raise the loader slowly
and check to make sure that the hoses do not bind in all positions.
A
CAUTION
The pressure of the relief and open centre valves is set at the factory. Do
not tamper with the setting. Serious injury to the operator or damage to the
loader or tractor hydraulics may occur. Warranty will be void if the loader is
operated above recommended pressure.
8
. When servicing any hydraulic components, care must be taken to prevent
any foreign matter from entering the system.
9. Do not neglect oil leaks. Leaks affect loader operation, are dangerous and
can result in personal injury or damage to the hydraulic system.
10. Never leave the cylinder shafts exposed when loader is not in use.
11. Worn or damaged components should be replaced as soon as possible with
only the manufacturer's recommended component or equivalent.
