1 Unlatch and raise the seat and the seat plate until the gas spring locks them up (The seat plate latch is to the right and forward of the seat ) 26
2 Remove rubber bulb seal at front edge of the seat plate 26
3 Insert a metal bar through one side of the ROPS/FOPS and out the other side, underneath the seat and seat plate, to hold the seat in raised position Figure 11 26
4 Remove the two nuts securing each of the two gas springs to the seat and back wall of the ROPS/ FOPS Remove the gas springs Figure 12 27
Figure 12 Location of the nut to be removed at the base-end of the gas spring Also, remove the nut at rod- end of the gas spring 27
5 On ROPS/FOPS back wall, loosen the four bolts that are hidden between slits in the soundproofing material Two bolts are located high on the back wall; two bolts are located low Figure 13, Figure 16 27
6 Hold the seat and remove the metal bar supporting the seat and seat plate Carefully lower the seat 27
Figure 13 Bolts on ROPS/FOPS back wall are accessed through slits in the soundproofing material 27
7 Loosen the four nuts that secure the seat, swing arm to the seat plate Figure 14 27

2 The machine has a dipstick to check the hydraulic fluid reservoir It is located in the reservoir filler neck, under the cap 72
3 Check fluid level with lift arms fully lowered and with attachment sitting on the ground 72
4 To read proper oil level the dipstick must be pushed down into the filler tube until it stops 72
5 The oil level should be in the cross-hatched area of the dipstick Do not overfill 72
6 When fluid is required, allow the system to cool Remove the oil cap slowly, allowing pressure to relieve before removing completely 72
7 Add hydraulic fluid as required 72
8 Replace cap 72
Hydraulic/Hydrostatic Charge and Return Filter Replacement 72
Charge and Return Filter Replacement 72
1 Lower the lift arms completely 72
Figure 91 72
2 Open the rear door to access the return filter (Figure 91, item 1) and the charge filter (Figure 91, item 2) 72
3 Use a filter wrench to remove oil filter elements 72
4 Clean the surfaces of the filter housing where the element seal contacts the housing Put clean oil on the rubber gaskets of the filter element 72
5 Install and hand tighten each filter element 3/4 of a turn past the point where the gasket contacts the filter head 72
Hydraulic Fluid Replacement 73
1 Remove the oil filler cap 73
Figure 92 73
2 Install a catch pan of sufficient capa- city under the oil reservoir 73
3 Remove the reservoir drain plug located on the bottom left portion of the oil reservoir (Figure 92) 73
4 Remove and replace hydraulic oil filter and hydrostatic charge filter (Figure 91, items 1 and 2) 73
5 When all the fluid is removed from the reservoir, reinstall the reservoir drain plug 73
6 Add the correct fluid to the reservoir until the fluid is between the marks within the cross-hatched area on the dipstick 73
7 Start the engine and operate the hydraulic controls 73
8 Stop the engine 73
9 Check for leaks at filters and reservoir plug 73
10 Check the fluid level in the reservoir and add fluid as needed 73

2 Remove the check plug (Figure 95, item 1) from each chaincase housing If the fluid can be reached with the tip of your finger, it is correct 76
3 If the level is low, add fluid through the check plug until the oil level reaches the edge of the hole Install check plug and tighten 76
Removing Fluid From the Chaincases 76
1 Raise the rear of the machine to aid in draining chaincase 76
2 Remove the drain plug on each chaincase (Figure 94) and drain fluid into a container 76
3 Dispose of the fluid in a manner respecting local regulations and laws 76
4 Install and tighten drain plugs 76
5 Fill chaincase at check plug (Figure 95, item 1) with appropriate fluid at the correct level Refer to the Specifications (pages 85-94), for more information 76

Mustang 2044 2054 Skid-Steer Loader Operator’s Manual 17099-GP0310 – PDF DOWNLOAD

INTRODUCTION:

THIS OPERATOR’S HANDBOOK WAS WRITTEN TO GIVE THE OWNER/OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SAFE OPERATION OF THE MUSTANG SKID-STEER LOADER. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SEE YOUR AUTHORIZED MUSTANG DEALER.
Serial Number Locations:

Always use the serial number of the Mustang Loader when requesting service information or when ordering parts. Early or later models (identification made by serial number) may use different parts, or it may be necessary to use a different procedure in doing specific service operation.

• The Mustang Loader serial number plate is located on the inside of the right upright, above the engine cover (Figure 1). The engine serial number is located as shown below (Figure 2). On top of the engine by the oil cap. The attachments and equipment available for use with this machine have a wide variety of potential applications.
• Read the manual provided with the attachment to learn how to safely maintain and operate the equipment. Be sure the machine is suitably equipped for the type of work to be performed. Do not use this machine for any applications or purposes other than those described in this manual or applicable for approved attachments.
• If the machine is to be used with special attachments or equipment other than those approved by Mustang Manufacturing, consult your Mustang dealer. Any person using nonapproved attachments or making unauthorized modifications is responsible for the consequences. Different applications may require optional safety equipment, such as a back-up alarm, horn, mirror, strobe light or an impact-resistant front door. Be sure you know the job site hazards and equip your machine as needed.
