OPERATION

A

W

ARNING:

BEFORE starting the

Loader engine and attempting to operate the Skid Steer Loader for the first time, review the WARNINGS section and the Controls & Safety Equipment section of this manual. Know how to STOP the Loader

BEFORE starting it.

STOPPING THE LOADER

1. Move the Traction T -bar to the "N eutral" position.

2. LOWER THE LOAD ARMS to rest onto the

Loader Frame.

3. Place the Lift / Tilt T-bar in "Neutral" and rest the

Bucket or Fork onto the ground.

4. Move the Throttle to the Idle position.

5. Disengage the Hydrostatic Pump Drive Belt Idler.

6. Turn the Ignition Key to "OFF" and remove the

Key.

7. Make sure that all movement and Loader motion has stopped, detach the Seat Belt and climb out of the Operator's Compartment.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

Before actually starting the engine and running the

Loader, familiarize yourself with the T -bar operation to orient your mind and coordinate your hand movements.

Grasp the T-bars and move them in the appropriate directions to simulate the various movements of the

Loader, Load Arms and Tilt Cylinders.

STARTING THE ENGINE

I. Step up onto the back of the Bucket or Fork and clim b backwards into the Operator's

Compartment.

A

WARNING: FASTEN AND PROPERLY

ADJUST the Seat Belt BEFORE proceeding.

2. Check that both T-bars are in their "Neutral" position and check that the Hydrostatic Pump

Drive Belt Idler is disengaged.

3. Move the Throttle to the midway point of its travel.

4. F or cold engine starts, pull the Choke all the way out.

5. Turn the Ignition Key to start the engine.

6. Make appropriate Choke readjustments and push the Choke all the way in after the engine reaches proper operating temperature.

7. Before attempting to engage the Hydrostatic Pump

Drive Belt Idler, roll the Bucket or Fork back completely and hold this Lift / Tilt T -bar position for several seconds to speed-up oil heat-up process.

FIRST TIME PRACTICE RUNNING

A

WARNING: BE SURE that the area being used for test-running is clear of spectators and obstructions. Operate the Loader with an empty Bucket or Fork.

Smoothest and most efficient Loader opeation is achieved while the engine is being operated at half to full

Throttle. After the engine is sufficiently warmed-up, engage the Hydrostatic Pump Drive Belt Idler and slowly and deliberately move the Traction T-bar straight forward, using a firm left-hand grip and left-arm extension. Attempt all forward, reverse and turning operations before proceeding to operate the Lift / Tilt T­ bar. Leaving your left hand off the Traction T-bar, slowly and deliberately pull the Lift/Tilt T-bar straight back, using a firm right-hand grip and right-arm extension.

Attempt all raise and lower operations, Bucket roll­ forward and roll-back operations and combinations of the two functions before proceeding to operate both T­ bars at the same time.

Skill in Skid Steer Loader operation is only obtained through proper coordination of the Loader's forward and reverse travel with raising and lowering the Load

Arms and with rolling the Bucket or Fork forward or back. To gain proficiency, practice all T-bar operations until they happen naturally and without mistake or hesitation.

A

WARNING: Operation of the Skid Steer

Loader at full Throttle should only be attempted after complete familiarity with all

T-bar operations is known. ALWAYS exercise caution and good judgement while running this equipment.

•

NOTE: To prolong Loader component life, avoid "jackrabbit" starts, stops and forceful T­ bar movements.

LIFT CYLINDER LOCK (Figs. 7 & 8)

A

WARNING: When it becomes neccessary to work on the Loader with the Load Arms raised, BE SURE to engage the Lift Cylinder

Lock BEFORE shutting the engine off and leaving the Operator's Compartment. BE SURE also to remove the Ignition Key.

Fig. 7: Lift Cylinder Lock "Engaged"

14

Fig. 8: Cylinder Lock in "Storage" Position

Engaging Lock

Before proceeding to engage the Lift Cylinder Lock and to prevent Loader movement, first disengage the Hydro­ static Pump Drive Belt Idler.

1. Remove the Lockpin from the Cylinder Lock.

2. Raise the Load Arms far enough to allow the Lock to drop down around the Cylinder Rod.

3. Lower the Load Arms slightly until the Lock firmly rests against the Cylinder.

•

NOTE: DO NOT drop the Load Arms onto the

Lock NOR continue to lower the Load Arms after the Lock contacts the Cylinder to avoid damaging the Lock or the Cylinder.

Disengaging the Cylinder Lock

A

WARNING: BE SURE to disengage the

Hydrostatic Pump Drive Belt Idler BEFORE proceeding.

Two methods can be followed to disengage and secure the

Lock back into its "storage" position. The recommended method is to have a second person disengage the Lock while the Loader Operator raises the Load Arms. Then, after the Lock is released, the second person also locks it back into "storage".

An alternative method of disengaging the Lock is to do so as follows:

1. Raise the Load Arms slightly away from contact with the Lift Cylinder Lock.

2. Using the left hand, reach around the top right corner of the Overhead Guard and lift and hold the

Lock up so that the Cylinder can be retracted and the Lock can be cleared by the Cylinder when the

Load Arms are lowered.

3. After the Lock is cleared completely, release the

Lock with the left hand and continue to lower the

Load Arms down until they contact the Loader

Frame. With the Load Arms down, shut the engine off and secure the Lockpin to place the Lift

Cylinder Lock back into the "storage" position.

GENERAL INFORMATION

A

WARNING: Fasten and properly adjust the

Seat Belt BEFORE starting the Loader engine. Know how to stop the Loader

BEFORE starting it.

If the Loader engine kills while the Lift / Tilt T -bar is being operated to raise the Load Arms, the Load Arms will stop rising and hold at the level already reached.

Lower the Load Arms and return the T -bar to "Neutral" before attempting to restart the engine. If the Loader engine kills while the Lift/Tilt T-bar is being operated to lower the Load Arms, the Arms will continue to lower until they rest against the Frame. Return the T -bar to

"Neutral" before attempting to restart the engine.

Braking - Stopping Loader Motion

The Hydrostatic Drive Pumps of the Skid Steer Loader control braking and stopping Loader forward and reverse movement. When the Traction T -bar is moved to the straight "Neutral" position, all movement of the

Wheels is stopped. By all means, BE SURE to move the

Traction T-bar gradually and deliberately to slow-down and stop the Wheels .

3-Spool Control Valve models. Models with 3-Spool

Control Valves are factory equipped with Auxiliary

Hydraulic connections and feature a Load Arm Float,

"detent", on the Lift / Tilt T -bar as well as a "detent" position for the Auxiliary Hydraulics connections.

The "Float" position for the Lift/Tilt T-bar is reached by pushing the T-bar all the way forward. This T-bar position causes oil flow to effectively bypass the Lift

Cylinders thus allowing the Load Arms to "float" while following the ground contour.

A

WARNING: NEVER push the LiftlTIIt T-bar, on a unit equipped with 3-Spool Control

Valve (characterized by Foot Pedals and

Auxiliary Hydraulics connections), all the way forward into the "Float" position when the Load

Arms are raised.

The "detent" position for the Auxiliary Hydraulics connections is reached by pushing the "toe" end of the

Foot Pedal all the way down. The Auxiliary Hydraulics

"detent" position enables operations of special accessories, from outside the Operator's Compartment.

•

NOTE: HL360 Skid Steer Loader models with

2-Spool Control Valves do NOT have a Lift/Tilt

T-bar Float Position NOR Auxiliary Hydraulics connections.

Digging & Loading (Figs. 9, 10, 11 & 12)

To dig with and load the Bucket, first lower the Load

Arms down in contact with the Loader Frame and roll the Bucket Cutting Edge down in contact with the ground. Move the Loader into the material and, as the engine RPM loads-down, roll the Bucket back slowly and, at the same time, gradually pull back on the Traction

T-bar to decrease travel speed while still maintaining

Wheel torque .

•

NOTE: Loader working ability is increased when travel speed is decreased. For optimum working ability through maximum Wheel torque, move the Traction T-bar only a slight amount forward, from its "Neutral" position, while filling a

Bucket.

In most hard-packed materials, to fill the Bucket it is also necessary to raise the Load Arms while rolling the Bucket back. Avoid driving onto the material if at all possible.

With the Bucket filled, back the Loader away from the material and rest the Load Arms down onto the Frame before proceeding to the dumping area.

A

WARNING: ALWAYS carry a loaded Bucket or Fork LOW with the Load Arms resting on the Loader Frame. When operating on an incline or ramp, ALWAYS travel with the heavier end

(loaded Bucket end) toward the top of the incline.

Dumping the Bucket or Fork

Onto a Pile

Carry the loaded Bucket or Fork low unt i l reaching the pile. Then, stop forward motion and raise the Load Arms high enough so that the Bucket or Fork clears the top of the pile . Then , slowly move the Loader ahead to position the Bucket or Fork to spill the material on top ofthe pile.

Empty the Bucket or Fork and back the Loader away while lowering the Load Arms and rolling the Bucket or

Fork back.

Into a Box

Carry the loaded Bucket or Fork low and approach the truck, trailer or spreader box squarel y with the sideofthe box. Then , stop forward motion well away from the side of the box to raise the Load Arms and clear the side of the box. Slowly move the Loader ahead to position the

Bucket or Fork over the inside of the box. After the material is dumped, back away from the box and lower the Load Arms while rolling the Bucket or Fork back.

16

•

NOTE: A Bucket can be conveniently used to spread the pile inside the box by positioning the Bucket Cutting Edge against the near side of the pile and rolling the Bucket back while slowly driving forward and pushing the top of the pile forward.

Over a Solid Embankment

A

WARNING: DO NOT drive too close to an excavation or ditch! BE SURE surrounding ground has adequate strength to support weight of the Loader and load!

Carry the loaded Bucket or Fork low while traveling toward the dumping area. Stop the Loader at the position where the Bucket or Fork extends half-way over the edge of the embankment. Then , roll the Bucket or Fork forward and raise the Load Arms to dump the material.

After the material is dumped, back away from the emb a nkment while lowedn g tbe Load Arms and rolling the Bucket or Fork back

Scraping with a Bucket (Figs. 13 & 14)

Both HL360 Skid Steer Loader models , units with either

2-Spool or 3-Spool Control Valves, can be used for scraping with a Bucket attached to the Load Arms. For scraping, the Loader should be operated in the forward direction. First position the Load Arms at the appropriate level which allows the Bucket to be tipped to place the Bucket Cutting Edge at a slight angle to the surface being scraped. While traveling forward with the

Bucket in this position , material can flow over the

Cutting Edge and collect inside the Bucket.

Bucket and Fork Mounting (Figs. 16 & 17)

HL360 Buckets and Forks are designed for quick and convenient attachment and detachment. To attach a

Bucket or Fork, approach it from the rear with the Load

Arms resting against the Frame and the Tilt Cylinders partially extended. Drive the Loader against the back of the Bucket or Fork head-on and squarely so that the

Attachment Plate in front of the Load Arms slides under the Attachment Lip on the back of the Bucket. With the

Lip positively engaged , retract the Tilt Cylinders completely. Then, shut off the Loader engine, leave the

Operator's Compartment and jnstall the Attachment

Pins and Lockpins in the position and direction shown.

To detach the Bucket or Fork, reverse the process .

A

WARNING: ALWAYS install or remove the

Attachment Pins and Lockpins with the engine shut OFF and the Load Arm

LOWERED completely.

Fig. 17

Auxiliary Hydraulics (Fig. 18)

HL360 Loader models with 3-Spool Control Valve and

Auxiliary Hydraulics connections have a Foot Pedal control mechanism to operate a secondary device, such as a Grapple Attachment. Pushing the Pedals with the toe closes the Grapple. Pushing the Pedals with the heel opens the Grapple. Both Pedals are welded onto a common Shaft.

•

NOTE: Pushing the Pedals all the way down with the toe engages the "detent" position enabling continuous oil flow.

Fig. 18

ADJ U STME NTS

Simplicity of HL360 design and functions makes for a minimum amount of readjustment required to maintain proper Loader operation.

•

NOTE: If the Loader is operated on a "day-to­ day" basis and since NO gasoline gauge is provided, it is advisable to refuel before starting the day.

A

WARNING: Refuel in a safe place away from open flames and potential sparks. NEVER refuel the Loader while the engine is running or when it is HOT.

ENGINE

All information related to engine adjustments and operating settings is detailed in the separate Engine

Manual furnished with the Loader.

HYDROSTATIC PUMP DRIVE BELT (Fig. 19)

After break-in and through the course of normal operation , the Hydrostatic Pumps Drive Belt will wear and stretch .

•

NOTE: After the first 10 hours of operation and at regular 10 hour intervals thereafter, check and adjust Drive Belt tension as necessary. If excessive Belt wear is noted, BE SU RE to realign the

Sheaves using details provided in the Sheave

Alignment topic in the Service section of this manual. If Belt tension is too tight, the Pumps will

NOT disengage. If tension is too loose, the Belt will slip and wear faster. I mproper Belt tension likewise causes excessive wear and early failure.

A

WARNING: Attempt Belt tension readjust­ ment ONLY after the correct Traction T -bar

"Neutral" position is established. To safely adjust Belt tension, the Loader Wheels MUST NOT rotate. Refer to Service section for "Neutral" adjustment.

To readjust the Pump Drive Belt tension , first carefully and properly block the Loader up so that all four Tires are NOT touching the ground.

Raising the Loader can be conveniently accomplished by first placing two equal height (approximately 5-1 / 2" tall) solid blocks of wood (at least 2 feet long) parallel with the rear Wheels and under the rear corners of the Loader

Frame . Then, with the Hydrostatic Pump Drive Belt

Idler disengaged and the Load Arms down against the

Loader Fr ame, extend the Tilt Cylinders to roll the

Bucket and pick the Loader off the ground; stop when all four Tires are off the ground.

A

WARNING: The above p r ocedure for raising the Loader should only be used for ju st that.

DO NOT leave the Operator's Compa rtment with the engine running and the Loader in this position. Shut the engine off and carefully leave the

Loader to block it up B EFORE attempting to restart the engine or to perform any adjustment or service routines. DO NOT rely on t he Load er Hydraulics to maintain this position without additional blocking or supporting.

With the Loader Tires off the g r ound, shut the engine off and remove the Ignit i on Ke y . Next, remove the Seat assembly for access to the Drive Belt. Then , loosen (bu t do NOT remove) the (4) bolts which secure the Idler and

Pump Mounting Plate to the Frame . Then, pry the Plate up as far as possible and snug the (4) bolts enough to hold the Plate in this positions.

Fig. 19

Then, making sure that the Traction T-bar is in the

"Neutral" position and with the Pump Idler disengaged , start the Loader engine and note that the Pump Sheaves are turning . Next, using a rubber malet or lead hammer , tap the corners of the Plate down slightly and in equal amounts until the Pump Sheaves stop turning. Then , shut the engine off and remove the Ignition Key and proceed to tightly secure the (4) bolts to fix the Idler and

Pump Mounting Plate position.

Where indicated, certain service routines should only be carried-out by an authorized Gehl Dealer or

Gehl Company representative.

BATTERY (Fig. 20)

The HL360 uses a 12 volt wet cell Battery. The Loader

Electrical System has negative (-) ground.

22

Fig. 20

Adding Water

O

NOTE: loaders sold within th .

e United States are shipped from the factory with Battery in­ stalled and filled with the proper Electrolyte

Solution.

On a routine basis after every 50 hours of operation, remove the Battery Vent Caps and inspect the Electrolyte level. The water in the Electrolyte Solution evaporates at high temperatures or with excessive charging rates. The level should be to the bottom of the Filler Neck; if NOT, replenish to the proper level with distilled water.

O

NOTE: Do NOT allow the Electrolyte Solution specific gravity to drop below 1.2000 at 80 F

(27 C).

Cleaning Terminals & Cable Connections

The top of the Battery MUST be kept clean. Tighten the

Vent Caps and clean the Battery with a brush dipped in an alkaline solution (ammonia or baking soda and water). After the foaming has stopped, flush the top of the Battery with clean water. If Terminals and Cable

Clamps are corroded, disconnect the Cables and clean them with the same alkaline solution.

Jumping a Discharged Battery

If Loader Battery becomes discharged and fails to have sufficient power to start the Loader engine, jumper cables can be used to obtain starting assistance.

A

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to jump-start the loader Battery if it is frozen; this may cause it to rupture or explode. Follow these instruction in order and completely as stated to avoid personal injury.

•

1.

NOTE: BE SURE thatthejumperbattery is also

. a 12 volt battery.

Turn off both ignition keys before making jumper cable connections .

2. Make sure that both vehicles are in neutral and

NOT touching each other.

3. Remove the Filler Caps from both batteries and check and replenish the Electrolyte levels before proceeding.

4. Place a clean cloth over the uncapped Vent Holes of both batteries to prevent boil-over and acid splash.

A

WARNING: If acid contacts your skin, eyes or clothing, flush the area immediately with large amounts of water.

5. Interconnect the positive terminals (+) of both batteries with one jumper cable.

6. Interconnect the negative terminal of the booster battery to an unpainted portion of the Loader

Frame or engine block.

•

NOTE: Twist the jumper cable clamps a couple of times to make a good electrical contact. DO

NOT short the jumper cables or cross them. The negative (-) jumper cable connection should NOT be made directly to the Loader Battery to insure that potential sparks are kept well away from the open

Filler Caps on the discharged Battery which will tend to produce hydrogen gas.

7. Proceed to start the Loader. If it does NOT start im­ mediately, start the engine of the booster vehicle to avoid excessive drain on the booster battery.

8. After the Loader is started and running smoothly, remove the jumper cable from the Loader Frame member first. Then, detach the opposite end from the booster battery . Then, remove the other jumper cable from the booster battery and the Loader positive (+) Terminal. .

Allow the Loader to recharge the Battery for approxi­ mately 10 minutes before attempting to operate the

Loader. BE SURE to discard the cloths and replace the

Vent Caps on both batteries .

NOTE: If Loader Battery discharging becomes

• a reoccurring problem, have Battery checked for possible dead cell and/or troubleshoot Electrical

System for possible shorted wire or damaged insulation.

Recharging Weak Battery

If Loader Battery becomes run-down and weak, it may be desirable to recharge it with a plug-in 120 volt AC battery charger unit. Follow operating instructions given with re­ charger unit and exercise all prescribed precautions. BE

SURE also to remove the Loader Battery Vent Caps and cover the uncapped Vent Holes and check the Electrolyte level before starting the charger.

A

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to recharge a frozen Battery; this may cause it to rupture or explode. DO NOT attempt to recharge the

Battery in an area of sparks or near an open flame.

DRIVE CHAINS & MOTORS (Fig. 21)

Both Wheels on each side of the HL360 Skid Steer

Loader are Chain-driven directly off of independent

Hydraulic Motors. Double Sprockets on the Motor

Output Shafts drive both Wheels through individual

Drive Chains which are running continuously in oil.

Drive Chain tension is NOT adjustable. After every 100 hours of operation, visually inspect the Drive Chains and

Motors. Access to the Chains and Motors is obtained by removing the Operator's Console, T-bar Linkage Rods and Loader Floorplate. Hydraulic Motors can be conveniently removed by detaching the (4) mounting bolts.

NOTE: Motors MUST be returned to the Dealer

• for repair or replacement. BE SURE to check that the Motor mounting bolts are tightly secured at all times.

Chain Case oil should be checked after every 50 hours of operation and maintained at a level of 1" deep. To conveniently check the oil level, remove the Plug in the

Floorplate and use the engine · Dipstick for the 1" measurement. Chain Case oil should be replaced after every 500 hours of operation; a Plug is provided in the front of the Loader to drain the oil. Replace or replenish

Chain Case oil with lOW40 or equivalent.

Sheaves are used to draw the Sheaves toward the

Hubs. Tapped holes in the Hubs are used to push the Sheaves away from the Hubs.

1. Through the process of adjust, measure and re­ adjust, get the Left Pump Sheave to line-up with the

Motor Drive Sheave.

2. In the same manner, after the Left Pump Sheave is lined-up with the Motor Sheave, get the Right

Pump Sheave to line-up with the Left Pump

Sheave.

•

NOTE: Use a straight-edge across the faces of the Sheaves to check for parallel alignment.

T-BARS

T -bars are used on all Gehl Skid Steer Loaders. Right­ hand and left-hand operations and functions are likewise the same for all Gehl Loaders . Several particular differences however, should be noted and understood, especially in regard to service routines.

Traction T -bar Neutral (Fig. 37)

"N e utral" position for the Traction T -bar and

Hydrostatic Dr i ve Pumps is the position at which Loader

Wheel rotation stops on both sides of the Loader. To check the "Neutral" position, raise and carefully block the Loader up so that the Wheels are NOT touching the ground.

•

NOTE: Refer to the Adjustment section for proper raising procedure.

With all four Wheels off the ground, engage the

Hydrostatic Pump Drive Belt Idler and note whether the

Wheel s on either (or both) sides of the Loader are turning. If turning, proceed to the Pump Arm

Realignment topic .

After the correct "Neutral" position has been obtained for both Pumps, readjust the T-bar (in Console slot) position to bring the T-bar into alignment with the

"N eutral" mark on the Operation Decal. Refer to

Traction Rods information under the following T-bar

Linkage Rods topic. BE SURE also to check and reset the Positive Stops of the T -bar; refer to the Positive Stops topic within this section .

Fig. 37: T -bars in "Neutral" Positions

Pump Arm Realignment (Figs. 37 & 38)

If the Right Wheels are turning, the Right Pump

"Neutral" setting is incorrect or if the Left Wheels are turning , the Left Pump "Neutral" setting is incorrect. If both Wheels are turning both Pump "Neutral" settings are incorrect. Readjust the Pump Arm po s itions as follows :

1. Shut the engine off and disengage the Pump Idler.

2. Remove the Seat assembly, start the engine and engage the Pump Idler.

3 . Using two open-end wrenches, loosen the Locknut with one wrench and rotate the Cam with the other wrench until the Pump Arm reaches the point where Wheel movement stops; retighten the

Locknut.

4. As necessary, repeat step 3 for the other Pump to reset the "Neutral" Arm position.

Fig. 38

T -bar Linkage Rods

Lift/Tilt T -bar

Lift/Tilt T-bar Linkage Rods can be conveniently disconnected from the Systems Control Valve by removing the bolts which secure the Rods to the Valve

Spools . Rod lengths are factory set and should NOT require readjustment unless the Systems Control Valve and / or Operator's Console is removed for service.

Traction T -bar (Figs. 38 & 39)

Traction T-bar Linkage Rods are likewise factory adjusted to match the Hydrostatic Pump Arm positions.

It may become necessary to readjust the Rod lengths if

Pump Arm positions are changed or if the T-bar position indicated by the Operation Decal on top of the Console does NOT match the "Neutral" positions of the Pumps.

To adjust the Traction T-bar Rod lengths, proceed as follows:

•

NOTE: Traction T -bar Linkage Rod lengths should only be changed after the correct

"Neutral" positions of the Hydrostatic Pumps have been obtained.

1. With the engine off and the Hydrostatic Pump

Drive Belt Idler disengaged, remove the Seat assembly for convenience and better access to the

Pump Arms.

2 . Remove the Cotter Pins and detach the Rods from the Pump Arms.

29

3. Loosen the Locknuts on the opposite ends of the

Rods.

4. Position the T-bar at the "Neutral" mark and make sure that it is exactly parallel with the front of the

Loader.

5. Without moving the T-bar from the position set in step 4, rotate the Rods out or in (as required) to align the right-angle ends of the Rods with the slotted holes in the Pump Arms.

6. After the correct lengths are adjusted, lock the Rod positions by tightening the Locknuts.

7. Replace and secure the Rods back into the Pump

Arms and recheck the T -bar position.

WHEELS & TIRES (Fig. 41)

HL360 Skid Steer Loaders are available with two variations of Wheels and Tu beless Tires sets: standard set is composed of 12 x 5.70 4-ply Tires on 12:00 x 5 Wheel

Rims or, optional set is composed of 23 x 8.50-12 4-ply

Flotation Tires on 12:00 x 7 Wheel Rims. Loader function and proper operation is dependent upon routine maintenance of the Wheels and Tires. Beyond repair of the Tires due to damage from operating hazards, such as nails, sharp rocks, etc., the following guidelines should be closely complied with.

Fig. 39: Hydrostatic Pumps (Seat Removed)

Positive Stops (Fig. 40)

Positive Stops are provided for the Traction T -bar to pre­ vent surpassing the rotational limits of the Hydrostatic

Pump Arm Shafts. To check and adjust the Positive

Stops, remove the Plate onto which the Operation Decal is mounted. Once the Plate is removed, the Locknuts on both Stops should be loosened. Then, each Stop Bolt should be turned all the way in and the T-bar moved all the way in both directions until the Arm movement for­ ward and back stop naturally (without excessive force).

The Stop Bolts should then be set up to the T -bar and given another turn to prevent bottoming-out. Retighten the Locknuts after the proper Stop Bolt positions are adjusted.

Tire Pressure

Proper equal and maintained Tire pressure is essential to long life, even wear and operating stability. The standard

12 x 5.70 4-ply Tire pressure should be checked after every 10 hours of operation and maintained at 45 psig

(315 kPa). The optional 23 x 8 .

50-12 4-ply Flotation Tire pressure should be checked after every 10 hours of operati.on and maintained at 35 psig (245 kPa).

Tire Wear & Rotation

Proper function of the Loader is greatly dependent upon the design and orientation of the Tire Tread and direction of rotation. Treads are angled toward the centers of the

Tires and MUST be mounted on the Wheels and , in turn, on the Loader so that their angles and rotations are forward on all four Wheels. These important factors limit

Tire rotation , without Wheel changing, to only interchanging the front Tire on one side with the rear Tire on the same side of the Loader. Without switching Tires with Wheels, NO Tire can be moved to the other side of the Loader.

•

NOTE: If the Loader is equipped with optional

Flotation Tires, the front Tires are filled with liquid for additional stability. Thus, without re­ moving and installing the liquid in another Tire, NO

Tire position switching can ' be carried-out.

•

NOTE: To prevent damage to the Drive Motor and Drive Chains, it is highly recommended that both Tires on one side of the Loader are changed at the same time even though only one

Tire's Tread is badly worn. This replacement of both

Tires is necessary to equalize the loads on both

Chains which are driven off the same Double

Sprocket and Drive Motor.

Wheel Nuts

Wheel Nuts MUST be checked after the first 10 hours of operation and at regular 50 hour intervals thereafter .

Check that all Nuts are torqued to 55 ft-lb (7.6 kg-rn).
