SAFETY INFORMATION - (continued)
Improper use of a loader can cause serious injury or death. The following safety precautions, and those
given on the tractor mount installation instructions should be thoroughly understood before attempting to
operate this machine.
BEFORE OPERATING:
Carefully study and understand this manual, the specific tractor mount instructions, and the
attachment(s) manual(s).
Prior to operation, inspect the loader for system leaks and damaged, missing, or malfunctioning
components in an effort to avoid the possibility of a dangerous failure involving structural
members or hydraulic system components.
Completely familiarize yourself and others involved with the operation of the hydraulic control
valve before operating the loader.
Be certain all bystanders are clear of the machine and operation area prior to operation.
It may be necessary to add wheel ballast or rear weights as recommended by the tractor
manufacturer to maintain stability of the machine to prevent tipping or upset which could result in
serious injury or death. See mounting instructions for specific information.
It is recommended that both front and rear wheel treads be set to the widest recommended width to
prevent tipping or upset which could result in serious injury or death.
This loader is designed for farm type operations such as snow removal, barn and feedlot cleaning,
light commercial or light grading and digging. It’s design is NOT intended for industrial use.
DURING OPERATION:
Never operate the machine other than from the tractor operator’s seat.
Never lift, hoist, or carry humans in the bucket or on any portion of the loader or loader
attachments. Failure to heed, may result in serious injury or death.
Page 3
SAFETY INFORMATION – (continued)
Transport the machine load at the slowest speed possible and with the loader boom at the lowest
transport position to avoid tipping or upsetting, which may result in serious injury or death.
Be extremely careful when working on inclines or near loose fill, rocks, and holes as they can cause
tipping or upsetting which may result in serious injury or death.
Be certain to avoid overhead electrical wires when operating loader. Contact with power lines may
cause serious injury or death.
Avoid sudden stops when lowering or lifting the loader boom to prevent loss of control over the
machine and/or load, which may result in serious injury or death.
Use maximum ballast and the widest recommended wheel setting on your tractor when handling
large shiftable loads.
Never attempt to ram with the bucket at high speed or full tractor power. Sudden impact may result
in structural failure and possible serious injury or death.
Never adjust or perform maintenance on the loader or tractor with the unit in motion, or without
power source locked out.
Never get under bucket or lift arms or reach through the lift arms or bucket linkage when the loader
is in operation. Inadvertent movement may cause serious injury or death.
FOLLOWING OPERATION:
Whenever the machine is not in operation, lower the loader boom and set the tractor brakes,
disengage drive, shut the engine off, and remove the ignition key before dismounting the tractor.
If loader is to be disengaged from tractor, be sure the loader is securely supported on a hard, level
surface and the stand is securely engaged. Be certain all connections between tractor and loader are
free before disengaging.

SAFETY INFORMATION - (continued)
PERFORMING MAINTENANCE:
Carefully review, understand, and follow the “maintenance” section in this owners manual before
attempting to service loader.
Lower the bucket or attachment to the ground, shut off tractor engine, and relieve pressure in the
hydraulic system before adjusting, lubricating, or servicing the loader.
Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin. Never use any part of your body to
check for hydraulic leaks. Use cardboard when checking for leaks. See Fig. 5-1. Relieve hydrau-
lic pressure before disconnecting any hydraulic line. Failure to heed may result in serious injury or
death.
Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, lower the loader and attachments. Lock out the hydraulic
supply and relieve all hydraulic pressure.
Replace any damaged or painted-over decals. See Page 6 for replacement decals.
REMEMBER:
1. Move Slowly!
4. Legend loaders include all reasonable means for accident prevention except a safe and
careful operator.

TRACTOR & SAFETY POINTERS
The use of good judgment and common sense is necessary by the operator in using this loader. The front
and rear wheels should be set for the widest wheel tread to assure best stability. Use extra caution when
rear wheel weights and tire ballast are added to a loader-equipped tractor. DO NOT ram into frozen dirt
piles, frozen manure piles, ice, etc., with great momentum where sudden shock loads are encountered.
Serious and costly damage may result to both the loader and the tractor.
When scraping or back dragging do not extend the attachment cylinders more than one half of the
cylinder’s stroke. A limited amount of leveling may be done, when the loader valving is arranged with a
float control. This will prevent damage to cylinder rods. Never ride in the bucket.
Before operating the loader, be sure no one is standing near it. Only one person, the operator, should be on
the tractor. Remain at the controls and under no circumstances leave the tractor unattended with the bucket
in a raised position.
Never drive your loader-equipped tractor down a hill that is steeper than 15 degrees. Carry all loads low
and use care on side hills.
Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from all moving parts.
Hydraulic oil, under pressure, can cause injury. Be sure that all connections are tight and that all pressure
is relieved before disconnecting any lines.
Care must be taken with your loader cylinders. Nicks, scratches, rust, or other shaft damage can result in
worn packing causing cylinder leakage and subnormal performance.
MOVE SLOWLY

Page 15
OPERATION
WARNING:
Never allow anyone to operate the loader until they have carefully reviewed and
understood this owners manual.
When manure is piled on a slope, it is best to drive tractor up the slope straight into the pile. Operating
sideways on a slope has a tendency to tip the loading unit. Drive tractor straight into the pile, raise the
bucket about six inches, then drop bucket and drive forward until the bucket is filled. Tilt bucket
completely back, raise main frame and back away from manure pile.
When dumping, bring the bucket to proper dumping height which is just high enough so it will not strike
the spreader as the load is being dumped. With the bucket tipped, drive tractor forward and raise the
bucket at the same time to distribute the load evenly into spreader or conveyance.
WARNING:
Make sure material in bucket cannot spill out on to tractor when loader boom is raised.
Keep clear of overhead obstructions such as trees, limbs or power lines when raising
the bucket.
Side cutting is the best method of reducing large stockpiles. If the sides of the pile are
too high, use the loader to pull them down and reduce the possibility of slides.
Make sure you keep all lines, cylinders, and complete hydraulic system free of all sand, dirt, and
foreign matter. Use only clean oil in the hydraulic system. When removing the loader from the
tractor, be sure to plug all open ports. If the loader will be out of service for several days or longer,
grease the exposed polished piston shafts on the bucket and the lift cylinders.
WARNING:
NEVER attempt to operate the loader with someone near the loader frame or bucket.
If this loader is equipped with a Grapple fork, be sure Grapple teeth are closed before leaving seat of
tractor.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM INFORMATION
The hoses from the tractor valves are attached to the oil lines which are on the inside of the loader main
frame.
Re-check all joints to prevent leakage after loader is mounted and in operation.
CAUTION! It is of utmost importance that the hydraulic system of this loader be kept
free from dirt and foreign matter.
All internal parts to the hydraulic system of your loader have been carefully cleaned,
inspected, and plugged with protective caps before shipment. All protective caps
should be kept in place until the hydraulic system is connected.
NOTE: Over 75 percent of all hydraulic failure and service is caused by dirt, etc. in
the system.

HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: Read these service tips before beginning assembly of cylinder gland or piston.
1. Keep seals clean from the time they are removed from package until they are installed.
2. Clean the groove or bore into which the seal is to be fitted before installing the seal.
3. Never touch the seal lip in handling. Always pick up the seal by its outer member.
4. Inspect each seal lip carefully for nicks, scratches, and dirt at time of installation. If dirty use a soft,
clean cloth and carefully wipe off seal. DO NOT wipe seal with fingers, this only imbeds dirt in the
seal.
NEVER clean rubber related seals with a mineral based solvent! Clean rubber
seals in denatured alcohol or non-mineral based solvents only.
NOTE: Seals can be made more pliable and easier to install, if first heated in hydraulic oil to 160°F.
Never use direct heat on any seals.

TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
1. Tightening Bolts & Nuts
Check all loader bolts and nuts for tightness every 50 working hours. The movement of the loader
over rough terrain may cause bolts to come under pressure and over a long period of time some
slight stretching of the bolt may occur. The slack created may need to be taken up by tightening.
Please refer below for recommended torque settings.
DO NOT use these values if a different torque value or tightening procedure is given for a
specific application. Torque values listed are for general use only and include a +/- 10%
variance. Check tightness of fasteners periodically. DO NOT use air powered wrenches.
Shear bolts are designed to fail under predetermined loads. Always replace shear bolts with
identical grade.
