- 3. Set bucket level on ground and adjust level guide tube along bucket cylinder until end of guide tube is flush with end of rod.
- Assembling Quick Attach Device
- Installing Quick Attach Device
- 1. Fasten quick attach device to lower boom arms and bucket tilt cylinders using 1” x 4-3/8” anti-rotation pins, 3/8” x 3/4” shoulder bolts, and 3/8” lock nuts (supplied with loader). Figure Asm-L-0014.
- 2. Attach bucket leveling rod indicator (supplied with loader), to outside of right ear on quick attach as shown. Figure Asm-L-0014. Secure bucket leveling rod indicator with two 1/8” x 1” cotter pins (supplied with loader).
- 1. Be sure both quick hitch pin levers are in the unlocked position, with the levers pointing up. Tilt the loader quick hitch forward, drive the loader into the attachment bracket and engage top of the quick hitch into the top of the attachment bracket.
- 2. Raise the loader slightly and rotate the top of the quick hitch back toward the operator until the bottom of the attachment is seated firmly in the bottom of the quick hitch.
- 3. Rotate the quick hitch pin levers down 90 degrees to the locked position. You should feel a firm resistance when locking the levers down. The tapered pins must extend through the slots in the bottom of the attachment bracket. The tapered side of t...
- 4. Raise the loader and attachment to shoulder height. By standing at the side of the loader, inspect the connection between the quick hitch and attachment.
- 5. On level ground, tilt the attachment down 90 degrees and lower it to the ground. Lower the loader further to slightly raise the front of the tractor of the tractor off the ground. Drive the tractor in reverse while the attachment is on the ground ...

- MAINTENANCE SECTION
- Lubrication Schedule
- Daily Maintenance
- 1. Check fluid level of tractor hydraulic system before starting each day’s operation. If necessary, add hydraulic oil as recommended in your tractor operator’s manual.
- 2. Daily, unless conditions justify more frequent greasing, lubricate all twelve grease fittings; one at each end of lift boom arms and one at rod and base ends of each lift and bucket cylinder.
- 3. After every ten hours of operation, check all hardware and tighten where required.
- 4. 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.
