SAFETY RULES
A ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY 1s 1NvolLvED! A
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by a single careless act of an operator.
In ~ddition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident pre-
vention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, prudenceand propertraining ofperson-
nel involved in the operation, transport, mainte-
nance and storage of equipment.
It has been said ''The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator." We ask you to be
that kind of an operator.
The designed and tested safety of this equipment
depends on it being operated within the limitations as
explained in this manual.
TRAINING
■ Safety instructions are important!
Read this manual, the tractor manual and
all safety rules.
■ Know your controls and how to stop
engine andattachmentquicklyinan emer-
gency.
■ Operators must beinstructed in andbe
capable of the safeoperation of theequip-
ment, its attachmentsand all controls. Do
not allow anyone to operate this equip-
ment without proper instructions.
■ Keep handsand bodyawayfrom pres-
surized lines. Use paper or cardboard, not
body parts to check for leaks. Hydraulic
fluid (oil) under pressure will penetrate
skin causing serious injury.
■ Make sure that all operating and ser-
vice personnel know that in the event
hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it must be
surgically removed within a few hours by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury, or
gangrenemay result.
■ Do not allow children or untrained
persons to operate equipment.
PREPARATION
■ Alwayswear relatively tight andbelted
clothing to avoid entanglement in moving
parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work
shoes and protective equipment for eyes,
hands, hearing and head.

perly attached,
adjusted and in good opemting condition.
■ Tractor must be equiJped with a Roll
Over Protective System I (ROPS). When
using loader, keep foldable ROPS up and
fasten the seat belt priori to starting the
engine. 1
■ Ensure all safety ~Is are installed
and in good condition. (See Safety Decals
section.) I
■ Add recommended ~heel ballast or
rear weight to provide good stability.

OPERATION
PREPARING TRACTOR
Before operating the loader, for optimum stability,
additional weight should be added to the rear of the
tractor with rear wheel weights or liquid ballast. Refer
to your tractor operator's manual for weighting
information.
The tractor rear wheels should be moved to the
tractor manufacturer's widest recommended settings
to increase the stability of the tractor.
OPERATING LOADER
The loadershould be operated with thetractor engine
running at a safe RPM. Excessivespeedsare danger-
ous, and may cause bucket spillage and unnecessary
strain on the tractor and loader.
FILLING THE BUCKET
Approach and enter the pile with a level bucket. See
Figure 1.

The lift and rollbadk of the bucket will increase
efficiency because la level bucket throughout the
lifting cycle resists bucket lift and increases break-
away effort. See Figure 3.

Figure 3
NOTE: Do not be concerned if the bucket is not
completely filled during each pass. Maximum produc-
tivity is determined by the amqunt of material loaded
in a given period of time. Time is lost if two or more
attempts are made to fill the b'l,lcket on each pass.
LIFTING THE LOAD
When lifting the load, keep th~ bucket positioned to
avoid spillage. See Figure 4. I

CARRYING THE LOAD
Position the bucket just below [the level of the tractor
hood for maximum stability an~ visibility, whether the
bucket is loaded or empty. See Figure 5.

Use extreme care when operating the loader on a
slope, keep the bucket aslow as possible. This keeps
the bucket and tractor center of gravity low and will
provide maximum tractor stability. See Figure 6.
DO THIS
Figure 6
A CAUTION
■ Operating the loader on a hillside is
dangerous. Extreme care is recommended
to avoid overturn.
When transporting the load, keep the bucket as low
as possible to avoid tipping, in case a wheel drops in
a rut. See Figure 7.

OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL
During hard surface operation,1 keep the bucket level
and putthe lift control in thefloat position to permitthe
bucket to float on the working surface. If hydraulic
down pressure is exerted on the bucket, it will wear
faster than normal. See Figure[ 10.

The float will also prevent tpe mixing of surface
material with stockpile material. The float position will

LOADING FROM A BA~K
Exercise caution when undercutting high banks. Dirt
slides can be dangerous. ijoad from as low as
possible for maximum effici~ncy. Loader lift and
break-away capacity diminis~ as loading height is
increased. 1
If the pile sides are too high and liable to cause
cave-in, use the loader to bre~k down the sides until
a slot can be cut over the topi See Figure 12.
,,,,...- 1 ,. ...

·Anothermethod for large dirt piles is to build a ramp
approach to the pile. See Figure 13.
Figure 13
It'simportant to keep the bucketlevel when approach-
ing a bankorpile. This will helpprevent gouging in the
work area. See Figure 14.
Figure 14
PEELING AND SCRAPING
Use a slight bucket angle, travel forward, and holdthe
lift control forward to startthecut. Make ashort, 5 inch
to 8 inch angle cut and break-out cleanly. See
Figure 15.
Figure 15
With the bucket level, start a cut at the notch
approximately 2 inches deep. Hold the depth by
feathering the bucket control to adjust the cutting lip
up or down. When the front tires enter the notch,
adjust the lift cylinder to maintain proper depth. See
Figure 16.

Figure 1~
Make additional passes until the desired depth is
reached. During each pass, .only use the bucket
control while at working depth~ This will allow you to
concentrate on controlling the bucket angle to
maintain a precise cut. See Figure 17.

Figure 18
Backgrade occasionally with a loaded bucket to keep
the working surface free of rut~ and holes. Also, hold
the lift control forward sothe full weight of the bucket

BACKFILLING
Approach the pile with a flat bucket. See Figure 20.
Poor methods actually move no more dirt and make
it more difficult to hold a level grade.
Figure 20
Do not use the bucket in the dumped position for
bulldozing. This method, shown below, will impose
severe shock loadings on the dump linkage, the
bucket cylinder, and the tractor. See Figure 21 .
Leave dirt in the bucket because dumping on each
pass wastes time.
Operate at right anglesto 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.

Connecting the Hydraulics (Figure 27)
Locate the hydraulic manifold block (10) located below
the right foot platfonn of the trador. NOTE: This block
hasa switchbetweentheports labeled "N'' and "P." Tum
this switch to the "S" position for loader operation.
Remove the socket head pipe plug labeled "P" from
the manifold block and replace with an adapter elbow
(6), short hydraulic hose (2), and the female end of a
quick coupler (5). Tum the male end of a quick
coupler (4) onto the end of another short hydraulic
hose (1), and connect it to the 45 ° elbow at the loader
valve. Then couple the two short hoses together.
NOTE: Use a good thread sealant on all pipe threads
to prevent leaks.
Remove the socket head plug labeled ''N." Replace it
with a straight adapter (8), elbow (7) and the male end
of a quick coupler (4), Repeat the same procedure for
the port labeled "T' except install a female coupler (5)
and a rubber plug (9).
Connectthetwo longer hoses (3) tothe remaining ports
of the loader valve. Tum a female coupler (5) onto the
hose leading from the 90° adapterat the powerbeyond
port of the valve and then couple it to the male coupler
at the "N'' port of the hydraulic manifold. Tum a male
coupler (4) onto the remaining hose and connect it to
the coupler at the "T' port.
NOTE: When the loader is removed from the tractor
it will be necessary to couple the short hose (2) in~
12
loop to the malecoupleratthe "N' port of the manifold
to powerthe 3-point hitchand pr vent blocking of the
hydraulic circuit. Use the rubb1 er (9) in the open
female coupler to prevent dirt trcjm getting into it.

Figure 35. Lubrication Points
Regular maintenance of the loader and hydraulic
system will insure maximum loader efficiency and
long life.
AwARNING
■ Never work under a raised loader.
Always lower loader to ground for service
or maintenance.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
-Check the level of hydraulic oil in the tractor
before starting each day'soperation. Ifnecessary,
addoil as recommended in yourtractoroperator's
manual.
IMPORTANT
■ ·When adding oil to the tractor reser-
voir, always use hydraulic oil as specified
for your model tractor.
-After every eight hours of operation, lubricate the
grease fittings at each end of each lift boom arm
and at the rod and base end of each lift and
bucket cylinder.
-After every ten hours of operation, check all
hardware andtighten where required.
-Replace hoses immediately if they are damaged
by a cut or scrape, extruded at the fittings, or
leaking. Hydraulic oil leaks should be repaired
promptly to avoid loss of oil and serious personal
injury from escaping oil.
F-8297 (Rev. 2-94)
17
A CAUTION
■ Keep handsand body away from pres-
surized lines. Use paperorcardboard, not
body parts to check for leaks. Hydraulic
fluid (oil) under pressure will penetrate
skin causing serious injury.
■ Make sure that all o~rating and ser"'.
I
vice personnel know that in the event
hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it must be
surgically removed within a few hours by
a doctorfamiliar with this form of injury, or
gangrene may result.
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
Follow the following procedure 1to check if the loader
is operating at the correct hydraulic pressure:
Obtain a pressure gaugethat registers3000 PSI in 50
PSI increments.
Install the pressure gauge into the hydraulic line
connecting the loader valve to the base port of the
bucket cylinders.
Start the tractor engine and adjust the throttle sothe
engine is running at operating RPM.
Push bucket control lever to pressurize the hydraulic
line with the gaugeattached. Hold the control untilthe
cylinders reach the fully extended position. Holding
the control with the cylinders fully extended will give
you the hydraulic system pre~ure on the gauge.
If the pressure is not correct (416 loader: 1500psi, or
417 loader: 2000 psi), contactan authorized service
department.

BOLTTORQUE
After every ten (10) hours of operation, check all hardware and tighten where required.
