1. LOADER ATTACHMENT CONTROLS

WITH STANDARD LOADER BUCKET
Located on the right of the steering wheel, this nine
position lever operates all the loader attachment
controls. The speed of movement of each control de-
pends on the tilting angle of the lever. In the interme-
diate position, two movements can be obtained
simultaneously.

WITH 4x1 LOADER BUCKET

The function of the lever is identical to that of the ma-
chine fitted with the standard loader bucket, with the
addition of the clam control.

LOADER CONTROLS, NEUTRAL AND HOLD

When in the neutral/hold position (0) the attachment
movement can be stopped. As soon as the lever is
released, it automatically returns to the neutral posi-
tion (0) and the attachment remains in the position
where was when movement stopped.

RAISING THE LOADER ATTACHMENT

With the lever in position (1), the attachment rises.

LOWERING THE LOADER ATTACHMENT

With the lever in position (2), the attachment lowers.

LOADER BUCKET FLOAT CONTROL

With the lever in position (3), the bucket follows the
contours of the ground without it being necessary to
operate the lever.

NOTE: in this position the lever does not automati-

cally return to neutral when it is released. It is neces-
sary to move it manually.

FILLING THE LOADER BUCKET

With the lever in position (4), the bucket rolls back
(fills).

DUMPING THE LOADER BUCKET

With the lever in position (5), the bucket rolls forward
(dumps).

LOADER ATTACHMENT AUTOMATIC RETURN

TO DIG
With the lever in position (6), the attachment lowers
and simultaneously the loader bucket places itself in
the digging position.

NOTE: it is possible to adjust the tilt angle for bucket

dig.

SECTION 82 - LOADER 5

4x1 LOADER BUCKET CLAM CONTROL (if

fitted)
This control operates the opening and closing of the
4x1 loader bucket clam. To use the control it is nec-
essary to unlock the lever by means of the latch (A).
This control has three positions:
Position (0): Neutral/hold. As soon as the lever is re-
leased, it automatically returns to the neutral position
(0) and the clam remains in the position where it was
when movement stopped.
Position (1): Open clam.
Press the latch (A) and tilt the lever to the right.
Position (2): Close clam.
Press the latch (A) and tilt the lever to the left.

IMPORTANT: the latch (A) must be in the locked po-

sition when the clam is not being used. It does not
lock automatically, it has to be engaged manually.

2. LOADER BUCKET SELF LEVELING

The self leveling linkage mounted on the right hand
loader arm and chassis automatically controls the
angle of the loader bucket during the raising cycle of
the lift arms to maintain a constant bucket level.
There is no self leveling during lowering.
Return to dig is an electrically activated feature
which enables the operator to automatically return
the bucket to a level digging position for a further
work cycle with one simple movement of the loader
control lever (3).
Whenever the bucket is rolled forward to dump the
return to dig electrical circuit is completed and the so-
lenoid on the bucket spool is energized.
When the loader bucket control lever (3) is moved di-
agonally left to the return to dig position (2) the elec-
tromagnet will hold the bucket spool in the roll back
position until the bucket is in the level digging posi-
tion at which time the indicator on the rod of the buck-
et self levelling linkage will pass in front of the sensor
which de-energises the electromagnet on the bucket
spool enabling the spool to return to the neutral posi-
tion.

RETURN TO DIG SENSOR ADJUSTMENT

The return to dig system consists of an electromag-
net mounted on the loader bucket control valve
spool, a sensor (1) mounted on top of the loader arm
and a pointer attached to the tube of the bucket self
levelling linkage.
Z Place the bucket on the ground in the preferred dig-
ging position.
Z Check the dimensions of 88.5 mm (3.4 in) and
7.5 mm (0.30 in) are maintained as shown.
Z Ensure the face of the sensor (1) is 6 mm (0.24 in)
from rod (2).
As a visual aid for the operator, while seated in the
cab, the pointer mounted on the loader arm can be
seen to align with the pointer on return to dig linkage,
when the loader arms are lowered and the bucket is
in the level digging position.

3. LOADER ATTACHMENT SAFETY STRUT

Located on the left-hand side of the loader attach-
ment, this safety strut enables the loader attachment
to be locked in the raised position in case of defects
in the system.

LOCKED POSITION
Raise the loader attachment completely, stop the en-
gine and remove the starter switch key.
Remove the pins and the safety strut from the loader
arm. Put the pins back in place.

Place the strut on the cylinder rod and install the re-
taining strap.

UNLOCKED POSITION
Remove the strut from the cylinder rod.

4. LOADER BUCKET REMOVAL

REMOVAL
Park the machine on flat surface.
Lower the bucket to the ground in dump position (tilt-
ed completely forward).
Stop the engine and remove the starter switch key.
If the machine is fitted with a 4x1 bucket, release the
pressure in the bucket circuit.
Remove the snap rings and retaining pins and then
drive out the linkage pins (1).
(4x1 bucket) disconnect and plug the hydraulic sup-
ply lines.
Start the engine.
Operate the attachment controls so as to release the
bucket.
Reverse the machine from the bucket.

INSTALLATION
Make sure all bushings are completely clean.
Remove any dirt or foreign matter, if necessary.
Start the engine.
Use the attachment controls to engage the attach-
ment between the bucket lugs.
Install the arm/bucket linkage pins (1) and then in-
stall the retaining pins and snap rings.
Use the bucket controls to align the connecting rod
holes with the bucket lugs.
Stop the engine and remove the starter switch key.
(4x1 bucket) release the pressure in the bucket cir-
cuit.
Install the connecting rod/bucket linkage pins (1) and
then install the retaining pins and snap rings.
(4x1 bucket) remove the plugs and reconnect the hy-
draulic supply lines.

INSTALLATION LOADER BUCKET WITH MECHANICAL QUICK COUPLER

It is possible to install a mechanical quick coupler (1)
for the loader bucket on the loader arms, using the
standard mounting pins (2).
Make sure the bucket to be installed is in a safe area,
on flat, level ground and with the upper pins in place.
Use the control lever (dumping position) to bring the
quick coupler hooks over the bucket pins (3).
Use the control lever (digging position) to swing the
bucket down onto the lower part of the quick coupler.
Stop the engine and remove the starter switch key.
Install the pins (4) and retaining hardware.

IMPORTANT: make sure the loader bucket is cor-

rectly installed with all its pins and locking rings be-
fore using the loader.
