Locate tractor and loader on firm level ground.372. With bucket raised above ground, tilt bucket down approximately 30° from level.373. Lower boom by retracting lift cylinders to lift tractor front end (tires can be off ground).374. Stop engine. Allow tractor front end to lower by relaxing ONLY lift cylinders with control lever. This will remove pressure on hitch pins. See Figure Asm-L-0025.375. Set parking brake. Rotate parking stands from storage position by removing linch pins and clevis pins. Reinstall clevis pins and linch pins when parking stands are in operation position (See Figure Asm-L-0024).376. Remove linch pins and 1” hitch pins from loader upright.387. Start tractor engine and release brakes. Retract bucket cylinders to allow parking stands to contact ground.388. Extend lift cylinders 6” to 8” to rotate top of loader uprights forward out of the mount, allowing tractor to be pushed rearward. Retract bucket cylinders until lower loader upright pins clear mount pin saddles and front tires (See Figure Asm-...389. Move tractor rearward approximately 6”, being certain not to stretch hydraulic hoses.3810. Stop tractor engine and set parking brake. Relax lift cylinders and bucket cylinders by moving each control lever in both directions. Disconnect hydraulic hoses from tractor.3811. Start tractor engine and release brakes. Slowly back tractor out of loader.38Mounting Loader381. Slowly drive tractor into loader approximately 6” from loader mounts. Shut off tractor engine and set parking brake.382. Connect hydraulic hoses. Make sure couplers are clean before connecting together.383. Start engine and release parking brake. Make sure lift cylinders are extended 6” to 8”. Stroke bucket cylinders to raise or lower upright pin to clear each front mount pin saddle by approximately 1” (See Figure Asm-L-0026).384. Drive tractor forward until loader upright pins contact mount vertical stop surfaces just above the mount pin saddles (See Figure Asm-L-0026). Extend bucket cylinders to FULLY seat both loader upright pins into mount pin saddles and raise parking ...385. Stop engine. Allow tractor front end to lower by relaxing ONLY lift cylinders with control lever.386. Set parking braket. Insert two 1” hitch pins and linch pins.387. Remove linch pins and clevis pins from parking stands, rotate stands into storage position and secure with clevis pins and linch pins (See Figure Asm-L-0024).38Attaching Pin on Bucket391. Attach bucket to lift boom frame and bucket cylinders with four 1” pins, 5-16 x 1-3/4 cap screws and 5-16 lock nuts (Supplied with loader).392. Install level indicator rod in level guide tube on right bucket cylinder. Sandwich level indicator rod angle between right inside bucket ear and cylinder rod end.393. Set bucket level on ground and adjust level guide tube along bucket cylinder until end of guide tube is flush with end or rod.39OPERATION SECTION41BUSH HOG 1035 LOADER42OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS421.

Using front end loaders for handling large heavy objects such as large round or rectangular bales, logs and oil drums is not recommended.732. Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to:733.

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.872. Daily (unless conditions justify more frequently) 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.873. After every ten hours of operation, check all hardware and tighten where required.874. 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.87Adjusting Bucket Level Indicator87Cylinder Service88Lift and Bucket Cylinder Disassembly881. Hold cylinder tube (13) stationary and pull wire ring (14) out through slot.882. Pull shaft (1), with all assembled parts, out of cylinder tube (13).883.
