-----OPERATION-----
Leave dirt in the bucket because dumping on each
pass wastes time.
SOIL PILE
Operate
at
right angles
to
the ditch. Take
as
big a bite
as
the tractor can handle
without
lugging down.
Leave
dirt
which drifts over the side
of
the bucket
for
final clean-up.
Pile dirt on the high side
for
easier backfilling on a
slope.
IMPORTANT:
1.
Using
front
end
loaders
for
handling large heavy
objects
such
as large
round
or
rectangular bales,
logs
and
017
drums is
not
recommended.
2.
Handling
large
heavy
objects can be extremely
dangerous due to:
(a)
Danger
of
rolling the
tractor
over.
(b)
Danger
of
upending
the tractor.
( c)
Danger
of
the
object
rolling
or
sliding
down
the loader arms
onto
the operator.
3.
If
your
must
perform
the
above
work,
protect
yourself
by:
(a) Never
lifting
the
load
higher
than necessary
to
clear the
ground
when
moving.
(b) Ballast the
tractor
rear
to
compensate
for
the load.
(c) Never
lifting
large objects
with
equipment
that
does
not
have
an
anti-rollback device.
( d)
Move
slowly
and
carefully,
avoiding
rough
terrain.
-----MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance
of
the loader and hydraulic
system will insure maximum loader efficiency and long
life.

• When operating the loader
with
the tractor
hydraulic system, check the level
of
hydraulic oil
in
the tractor before starting each day's opera-
tion. If necessary, add oil
as
recommended in
your tractor operator's manual.
•
After
every eight hours
of
operation, lubricate
the four lubrication fittings. One at each
lift
arm-
to-side frame post pivot and one at e~ch bucket
pivot.
• Repair hydraulic oil leaks promptly
to
avoid loss
of
oil and damage
to
the system.
• Replace hoses immediately
if
they are severely
damaged by a
cut
or scrape, extruded at the fit-
tings, or leaking.
•
After
every ten hours
of
operation, check
all
hardware and tighten where required.
HYDRAULIC
PRESSURE CHECK
1.
Obtain a pressure gauge
that
registers
3000
psi
in
50
psi increments.
2. Install the pressure gauge into the hydraulic line
from the loader valve
to
the cylinder
base
port
of
the bucket cylinders. (
