The loader is a complex machine. The end user must read this instruction book before first use. Familiarise yourself with: — Safety instructions. — Hitching and unhitching of the loader. — Hitching and unhitching of the implements. — Full use of the controls.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS — Control the loader only from the driver’s seat. Do not let go of the controls until the movements are complete. — Do not leave the seat before locking the controls to prevent any movement. — Never leave the tractor while its loader is lifted. Following loader use, park the tractor with the loader lowered to the ground. — It is compulsory to ensure that nobody is in the area while the loader is in use.
2. SAFETY STICKERS Security stickers are located on the loader. Keep them readable and clean, and change them if damaged. C1 and C2 loaders C+ and Cu loaders 3. IDENTIFICATION PLATE The identification plate is located inside the LH arm, next to the implement level indicator.
4. COUNTERWEIGHT The stability of the tractor and loader can only be ensured with a counterweight on the rear of the tractor.This counterweight must ensure that a minimun of 20 % of the total weight (Tractor, loader, implement, maximum load and counterweight) is applied on the back axle of the tractor in order to work in a safe condition.
5. LOADER UNHITCHING Caution This operation must be carried out by the driver who must leave the seat and ensure all manoeuvres are forbidden while he is working on the loader. The loader must always be coupled to an implement to unhitch it. 5.1 Choose a flat and stable area. 5.2 Put the implement dumped on the ground slightly (20° approx.). 5.3 Fit the parking stand(s). C1 and C2 loaders 5.4 C+ and Cu loaders Remove the frame locking pins and insert them into the dedicated holes.
5.5 Lower the loader using the DA, to retract the lift rams. Crowd slightly to position the parking stands. 5.6 Crowd the implement slightly, driving forward to release the loader towers away from the bracket. Pull the parking brake. Turn off the engine.. 5.7 Completely decompress all the hydraulic circuits. 5.8 Close the tap and disconnect the hydraulic couplings.
5.9 Position the protective covers (clean) to the male and female couplings. Store the hoses on the loader. 5.10 Reverse the tractor a little, to clear the loader from the bracket. 6. LOADER HITCHING 6.1 Drive slowly forward so that the bracket is some 5cm away from the loader towers. Pull the parking brake. Turn off the engine.
6.2 Completely decompress all the hydraulic circuits. 6.3 Connect the hydraulic couplers, matching the colour codes. 6.4 Open the tap. 6.5 Tip the implement so as to lift the front of the loader: by rotating it, the frames must fit into the bracket yokes.
6.6 Raise the implement horizontally to 0.30 m from the ground. 0.3 m 6.7 Lock the loader frame on the bracket with the pins and split pins. Fold the parking stands away. 7. IMPLEMENT UNHITCHING - C+ LOADERS Caution This operation must be carried out by the driver who must leave the seat and ensure all manoeuvres are forbidden while he is working on the loader. 7.1 Select a stable parking area. Lower the implement horizontally to 0.30 m from the ground. Pull the parking brake. Turn off the engine.
7.2 From the L.H. side of the loader, pull on the lever to the end. Never operate from the front of the implement. 7.3 Then, move the lever backwards to lock it (compressed springs). "Clac" 7.4 Start the tracteur and lower the loader dumping the implement. As soon as it is down to the ground, slightly reverse the tractor in line while lowering the loader. 8.
8.1 Ensure that the locking lever is in the "HITCHING" position: pins retracted and the springs compressed. 8.2 Approach the loader in line with the implement, the tool carrier being slightly dumped. 8.3 Enter the hitch into the implement hooks. 8.4 Crowd the implement back while driving forwards until the unlocking lever is triggered.
Checking before work. Press on the ground to check if implement is correctly locked on the loader. Use D.A. mode. Maneuver each hydraulic service to its maximum, in each direction to check the correct operation of the hydraulic system and that there are no leaks. 9. IMPLEMENT UNHITCHING / HITCHING - Cu, C1 and C2 LOADERS 9.1 Implement unhitching Select a stable parking area. Position the implement on the ground. Remove the split pins then the crowd ram-implement link pins 1 .
11. 3rd FUNCTION he front couplers mounted on the loader cross beam are used to feed an implementc/w grab or any other attachement which requires a DA extra function (option). The connection will be easier after the engine is turned off and the 3rd function residual pressure is released. Crowd and press the green switch at the same time to operate the 3rd service. Back-up control to be pressed if the solenoid valve locks. 12.
13. SHOCK ELIMINATOR No shocks anymore when driving or when suddenly stop the loader during lowering (option). Suspension off Suspension on 14. LOADER MAINTENANCE Caution Change the tractor hydraulic oil and filters regularly in accordance with the tractor manufacturer recommendations. Used oil does not lubricate, it also contributes to the damage of all hydraulic components (pump, valves, rams…). 14.1 Clean the implement and the loader front after each use.
Check the following each month, and more frequently when used intensively: – – – – – – Condition of the loader articulations. If necessary, replace the wear bushes and/or the pins. The wear bushes must be replaced if they are less than 1 mm thick. The tractor’s hydraulic oil level and the sealing of the hydraulic system. If you notice any internal or external leaks on the hydraulic parts (rams, hoses, connectors, Mach, couplings, etc.), contact your dealer.
16. SAFETY DEVICE ON LIFTING/CROWDING If the loaders lifting operation requires people to be in the close proximity, the hydraulic circuit of the loader must have safety device fitted to it. This in accordance with the standard EN 12525/A1, from July 2006. 17. CONTROL Important: Never leave the tractor with loader in raised position. All spool valves produce an internal leak required for correct operation. 17.1 On tractor valves Please report to the tractor’s instruction book. 17.2 On MX valves: 17.2.
18. GENERAL INFORMATION Each implement is designed for a specific use and has its own resistance limits. Land clearing and stump extraction are forbiden. Such work should be carried out by a specialist vehicle and is not possible for an agricultural loader. Use the tractor’s power to enter in the material to be moved rather than approaching it with speed, which will generate high stress on tractor and loader. When the load to be manoeuvred is too heavy, do not apply force to the hydraulic components.
