Introduction - 495 & S495 Loader Introduction Allied by Farm King front-end loaders are backed by years of extensive research. Factory testing simulates specific operations to evaluate durability; days of continuous cycling in raising, twisting and dropping loads using a programmed hydraulic power unit represents years of extreme use. With one of the largest mounting kit application lists in the industry, there is an Allied front-end loader available for nearly every tractor, large or small, new or old.
Safety - 495 & S495 Loader Hydraulic (Hose Kit) Hose Kit “A” Loader powered by the tractor remotes. Consists of four hoses leading from loader tubing to tractor remote couplers Hose Kit “C” Loader operated by an external valve that is plumbed into the tractor hydraulic system. Consists of 4 hoses leading from loader tubing to external mounted valve plus the necessary fittings, hoses and adapter blocks (if necessary) to tap into tractor hydraulic system.

Safety - 495 & S495 Loader Important Precautions 11
Operation - 495 & S495 Loader Operation Operation General Operating Notes: Refer to tractor Operator's Manual for Operating information on the tractor's hydraulic system. Hydraulic systems using auxiliary valves should have them located for easy reach from the tractor seat. Hoses should be connected in such a manner that pushing forward on valve handles lowers the boom or dumps the bucket WARNING Always connect boom hoses to float section.
Operation - 495 & S495 Loader Operating Suggestions for Loading When handling heavy loads, be sure to lower lift arms slowly. This is known as feathering the hydraulic lever. If load is lowered too fast and stopped suddenly, excessive shock loads are created which can damage loader or tractor. When loading bucket, drive straight into material. Attempting to turn tractor while loading bucket can cause damage to both the loader and tractor. Note: Bottom surface of bucket is parallel to line on motion.
Operation - 495 & S495 Loader Operating Suggestions for Backfilling DO THIS When backfilling approach pile with a flat bucket. Leave dirt in bucket. Dumping on each pass wastes time. Backgrade work surface with a loaded bucket. Release all pressure on lift cylinders so full weight of bucket is scraping ground. Use heel of bucket Do not use bucket in dumped position for bulldozing. This will only impose severe shock loading on the bucket cylinders and make it more difficult to maintain a level grade.
Operation - 495 & S495 Loader Attaching the Loader to Your Tractor 1. Postion the tractor as centrally as possible and drive, using lowest gear possible, into the loader frame until hoses can be connected. 2.
Operation - 495 & S495 Loader 7. Continue to drive the tractor forward until the subframe uprights are seated in the boot. 8. Secure the subframe uprights with the bolts and washers. Torque 500 ft-lb. When mounting for the first time, the front hook bolts will have to be tightened after positioning the hook directly over the mounting boss (most rearward position) 9. Raise the loader and lock the support stand tubes in the up position.
Operation - 495 & S495 Loader Removing the Loader from Your Tractor 1. WARNING When removing the loader, it must be fitted with a bucket or other suitable attachment to give the frame stability after removal. If this is not done, the frame will not remain standing. WARNING Always remove the loader on firm, level ground (away from children's play area and high traffic areas). This makes attaching and removing much faster and easier. It also makes the free standing loader more stable.
Operation - 495 & S495 Loader 4. Roll back the bucket slightly and simultaneously extend or retract the lift cylinders to free hooks from spools. Then slowly back up the tractor. 5. Once the subframe is clear of the boot and the hook is clear of the mounting boss, roll back the bucket all the way. This raises the rear uprights of the loader. On some mountings, the lift cylinders must be extended more while the tractor is backing up, so that the subframes clear the front axle. 6.
General Instructions - 495 & S495 Loader General Instructions As with any piece of equipment, the care with which your loader is operated and maintained will greatly affect its 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.
Troubleshooting - 495 & S495 Loader Troubleshooting Problem Loader slow and/or will not dump Loader chatters or vibrates when raising and lowering Excessive movement at pivots Possible Cause Quick couplers leaking Hydraulic oil too heavy Change or replace filter Oil filter plugged Clean or replace filter Hydraulic pump worn Repair or replace pump Oil line restricted or leaking Replace damaged or restricted hoses or tube lines Inspect, clean, repair or replace valve Air in hydraulic system Cycle
Troubleshooting - 495 & S495 Loader Problem Insufficient lift capacity Possible Cause Remedy Improper hydraulic pump operation Repair or replace pump Load is greater than boom lift capacity Check loader specifications Internal boom cylinder leakage Replace any worn parts and install a seal repair kit Improper hydraulic valve operation Repair or replace valve Worn control valve Worn cylinder piston seals Have authorized dealer replace seals Excessive wear on bottom of bucket and wear pads Flo
Maintenance - 495 & S495 Loader Maintenance Lubrication Lubricate loader bushings and pivots every eight hours of average operation with high-grade grease. For grease fitting locations see illustration below. Select grease based on the expected outside temperature range. Lithium, Molybdenum and synthetic greases are preferred. Use the tractor hour meter as a guide. Increase lubrication intervals for extreme use or adverse conditions. Each pivot should be lubricated until grease is visible at pin.
Bolt Torque - 495 & S495 Loader Bolt Torque Checking Bolt Torque The tables shown below give correct torque values for various bolts and hex bolts. Tighten all bolts to the torques specified in chart unless otherwise noted. Check tightness of bolts periodically, using bolt torque chart as a guide. Replace hardware with the same strength bolt.
