Safety instructions

The loader is equipped with a stop valve above the control

valve on the right of the loader.
This should be turned closed "position" during service
work, or when the loader is left in the lifted position for
any length of time for other reasons.

B WARNING: This valve may NOT be used

when working in the loader's lift cylinders or
associated lines. In such cases, the loader
must be lowered to the ground. Turn off
the tractor's engine, depressurise the oil
pressure with the operating control before
disconnecting any couplings or doing any
Turn the stop valve to closed position during service work.
other work on the hydraulics - oil under high
pressure can cause severe injuries.

• When working on the loader's hydraulic system, release

hydraulic pressure by moving all hydraulic controls to
all positions a number of times once the engine has
been shut off.
• Do NOT use the loader to lift the tractor during service
on the tractor or the loader.

CAUTION: Be on your guard against pressu-

B rised hydraulic fluid. NEVER use your finger
or hand to search for leaks. The fluid which
flows out from small holes can be almost
invisible. Use a piece of wood or cardboard
instead.

• Undo hydraulic couplings slowly. Keep your hands and

fingers away from loosened couplings.
• Get medical attention at once if fluid penetrates your
skin. Serious reactions and/or infections can rapidly
occur if the oil is not removed at once by surgical
operation.
NEVER use your finger or hand to search for leaks.
Spare parts
• When spare parts are needed for service and mainte-
nance work, only use original spare parts to restore the
machine to its original quality standard.
• The manufacturer declines all responsibility if non-
approved spare parts or tools are installed, and for the
damage which might occur if such non-original spares
are used.

INSTALLATION

Checking the subframe hardware

Check that all hardware are tightened to the specified
torque, first time after 10 hours of operation and then every
50 hours of operation. Please refer to the table below for
torque values.

Tightening torques - Hardware

Torque all the hardware on the subframe and all fasteners to
the values specified in the table below, except in the cases
where the tightening torque is specified in the assembly
instructions.
The torques specified below apply to clean, dry threads.
Lubricated threads can mean that the fastener is over
torqued. Damaged or dirty thread can cause torque values
which are too low.
A torque amplifier can be needed when tightening screws to
high torque values.

Delta subframe preparation

Consult both the safety and the installation instructions
before beginning any installation.
Before you begin to install the Subframe, ensure that you
are equipped with all of the proper tools and parts required
to attach the subframe to the tractor.
If any defect of the Subframe material, workmanship or
mounting is observed, contact Alo technical support. If the
Subframe does not fit properly, this issue should be addres-
sed immediately so that we are made aware of the potential
problem, and are able to instruct you on how to proceed.
Before mounting either of the latest loader ranges from
Quicke or Trima to the new Delta™ subframe, you must
carry out the following procedure.
All paint must be removed from the machined surfaces:
All paint must be removed from the machined surfaces:
A. Machined Saddle
B. Front Face and Lip
C. Loader
Remove all paint from tractor casting, and any excess paint
from subframe to ensure a secure contact. A chasing tap
may be required to clean out the tractor casting.
If a bolt will not start into its designated hole, check that the
hole is clean and free from paint. Also, make sure that the
bolt is being used in the correct hole. If there are any
problems screwing in the bolt, DO NOT attempt to force it
in; this could strip the hole of its threads.
Use an overhead hoist to raise the Subframe up to the
tractor. Be careful to protect the tractor hood and platform
from damage.
Start some of the bolts into the tractor. Once you are sure all
of the bolts will thread into their proper holes, begin
tightening the bolts so that they will support the Subframe.

Install the level indicator

Install the level indicator on the tilt cylinder. Adjusting is
done with each tool installed. The indicator can be installed
on the right or left sides. Indicator (B) is installed for left
installation and must be moved for right installation.
Set the tool in level position, adjust the reference indicator
(A) directly opposite the indicator (B). Check that the
indicator runs freely, adjust if needed. The indicator hose
(C) should be parallel to the tilt cylinder. Incorrect adjust-
ment can cause the device to self-destruct. When adjusting
after a tool change, set the tool level, move the reference
indicator (A) centrally against the indicator (B).

Install the position indicator on the tilt cylinder.

Check list
When the loader has been installed - check carefully that
everything works before it is taken into service. The
following points must always be checked. Mark them off
and do the necessary adjustments if necessary.
1. Check that everything has been installed in accordance
with the installation instructions.
2. Check that a counterweight is fitted, which is required
for the tool and application.
3. Check that all screws are tightened.
4. Check that the front wheels clear the loader and base
during full wheel lock and oscillation of the front axle
- if this is not the case, oscillation stops or limitation of
steering lock must be installed.
5. Check that the green end of the Lock & Go lock pin is
visible on the inside of both the left and right bearing
housings.
6. Check that no oil leakage occurs.
7. Operate all loader functions several times to remove air
from the system.
8. Check the tractor oil level - top it as necessary.
9. Check that the lock pins engage when a tool is
connected.

Control cable replacement

To replace Control Cables within the
Joystick Controller
First use a screwdriver to slide back the Joystick Collar
according to Fig. 1. Remove the Pivot Post by removing the
cap screw on the underside of the Joystick Housing (see
Fig. 7). Next, remove the Control Cable Positioning Screws
from the Joystick Housing with a screwdriver, according to
Fig. 7 (also refer to Fig.’s 3 &4). Finally, disassemble the
Control Cables from the Joystick Lever and remove them
from the Joystick Housing (see Fig.’s 2 & 7).
For reassembly, repeat the preceding steps in reverse order,
paying special attention to the positioning of the Control
Cables within the Joystick Housing.
Note. Do Not over tighten the Control Cable Positioning
Screws. Their main purpose is to hold the Control Cables in
their correct position. If over tightened, the Joystick
Housing may crack and fail to serve its intended purpose.
When reinserting the Control Cable Positioning Screws,
hold the Control Cable slightly out of position. As the screw
is tightened it will move the Control Cable into place. When
the Control Cable is positioned correctly, stop tightening.

To replace the Control Cables at the

Control Valve:
Remove the screws from the Adjusting Sleeve assembly
and slide the assembly back down the Control Cable (see
Fig. 5). Extract the Locking Pin from the Control Valve
Spool and remove the Control Cable.
Upon reinstallation of the Control Cable to the Control
Valve Spool place the Adjusting Sleeve assembly over the
Control Cable according to Fig. 5 and slide it down such
that there is enough of the Control Cable sticking out to
easily reinsert the Locking Pin through the Control Valve
Spool and the cable together.
Note. When positioning the Adjusting Sleeve assembly,
ensure that the Controller Joystick cannot be moved, by
engaging the Controller Lock.
Now, slide the Adjusting Sleeve assembly up tight to the
Control Valve and reinsert the screws.

 Trouble shooting

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Faulty functioning of the loader is frequently caused by
factors not related to the loader:
• Check the oil level in the tractor's hydraulic tank. Top
up to the correct level.
• Check that the correct oil is used. Only use the oil
specified in the tractor instruction book. Incorrect oil
can cause foaming, heating and internal leakage.
• Make sure that hoses and couplings are correctly
installed and connected to the tractor. Hydraulic
couplings must be fully inserted.
• Check that the oil is clean and free from moisture.
Change the oil and filter as necessary.
• Check hoses and couplings for leakage, cuts and twists.
• Low temperatures may cause slow movements and/or
that the loader does not work in a normal way until
normal operating temperature has been reached. Check
that the oil is at normal operating temperature before
the loader is tested.
• When a hose kit is used, make sure that the tractor
valve has been adjusted for double action. Check that
flow control has been set to maximum value.
• Operate the loader cylinders to their end positions
several times to remove air from hoses and cylinders.
Most problems which occur with the loader are simple in
nature and can be easily rectified. Use the "Troubleshooting
table" on the following pages to help you localise and solve
problems.

Disassembly
Begin by drawing out the piston rod at least 100mm.
Remove the retaining ring with pliers, and Carefully
Extract the O-ring. Using a plastic mandrel, to protect the
piston rod from damage, tap in the bearing so that the
retaining ring is uncovered, but not so much as the bearing
will throttle the air flow in the outer oil connection. Loosen
the retaining ring with a small screwdriver. Loosen the retaining ring with a small screwdriver
Thereafter withdraw the piston rod from the ram. For
mechanical self-leveling loaders with equal displacement
implement rams, the ram is equipped with a piston guide.
The stop screw must be removed from the ram barrel, and if
the guide slides out of the barrel with the piston rod, it must
be removed from the end of it. If the guide does not remove
with the piston rod, make sure all the stop screws are
removed, then carefully tap the barrel opening on a wooden
block until the guide slide to the end where it can be
removed.
Following this, the piston and bearing both must be
removed from the piston rod by unscrewing the piston from
the rod. Do not use any tools that could damage the
piston rod or the barrel. Again, if the ram is of the self-
leveling type, the piston rod is threaded into both ends of
the piston.
When the Hydraulic Ram has been disassembled, remove
the scraper, if it is damaged, with the aid of a screwdriver.
Note: Prior to replacing Hydraulic Ram Seals, check that
the piston, piston rod, slide-face of the bearing and the
inside of the barrel are free from defects and make sure
there are no scratches in the seal slot.
Should any of above damage exist, proper measures must
be taken to correct the defects before reassembling the seals
and hydraulic ram.

Replacing bearings seal

Remove the seal with the aid of a knife. Ensure that the
knife does not scratch the bottom of the seal slide.

Replace the seal with the corresponding component from

the new kit. Fold the seal according to figures, and make a
special note that the seal should be used so that the lips are
turned against the ram.

It will be easiest to mount the scraper with the aid of a

special tool, but one could also carefully tap it in place.

Mount the scraper

Replacing piston seals

Remove the piston seal with the aid of a blunt screwdriver,
being careful not to damage the seal slot.
To replace the seal, lubricate it with clean hydraulic oil and
mount it by hand without the aid of any tools. Be careful to
mount the seal in the same way as the exchanged seal.

 Service

Before the piston is reassembled on to the piston rod, clean

the threads and apply a few drops of Loc-Tite thread
locking fluid.
Clamp the bearing of the piston rod in a screw vice and
secure the guide with a pipe wrench (torque to 49 kpm). If
the pipe wrench has caused edges/splints on the outside
surface of the guide, file them off.

Apply a few drops of Loc-Tite thread locking fluid

Reassembly
When reinserting the piston rod assembly, thread the guide
on the piston rod and insert the two pieces together. Check
that the ram is completely compressed before reinserting
the stop screws.
Always study the spare parts sheet of the ram as a guide.
