1 GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION The Ford CL35 and CL45 Compact
Loaders, (Fig. 1), are designed for handling
construction, industrial, mining and agricultural
materials. The CL35 has a rated lift capacity
of 1000 lbs. (454 Kg) to a height of 109 inches
(2769 mm) as measured at the quick-tach hinge
pin. The CL45 has a rated lift capacity of 1300
lbs. (590 Kg) to a height of 109 inches (2769
mm). These loaders are designed to transport from
one area to another, both indoors and outdoors.
With the variety of attachments available, both
the Ford CL35 and CL45 compact loaders can be
equipped for a multitude of job site uses. The
following paragraphs contain a description of the
components and systems incorporated in these
loaders. 'with equipment specified in section
5.1 Engine Assembly CL35 The engine assembly,
Fig. 1, is located directly behind the operators
seat in a completely enclosed compartment. The
engine is a three cylinder, liquid cooled, 28.2
horsepower, Shibaura Model H843-TL diesel engine.
The CL35 is also available with a four cylinder,
air cooled, 30 H.P., Wisconsin Model VH4D
gasoline engine. Standard engine accessories
include a dry type air cleaner, oil filter, fuel
filter, glow plugs, 12 volt alternator and
starter, fuel pump and mechanical governor.
hydrostatic piston pump. Each pump supplies oil
to only one torque motor to drive the wheels on
one side of the loader. The further a control
lever is moved in the desired direction of
travel, increases the volume of oil supplied to
the motor driving the wheels of that side of the
loader, thus increasing the speed of those
wheels. Moving both hand control levers an equal
amount will provide straight line travel. Varying
the lever movements results in one side driving
faster or slower than the other and produces
turning. With one lever full forward and the
other full back, a pivot or skid-steer turn is
obtained.
Braking is accomplished by returning the control
levers to their neutral position or slightly
beyond.
Hydraulic System Separate hydraulic circuits
provide power for operating both the loader drive
and hydraulic systems. A gear pump supplies oil
to a three spool series type control valve. Two,
double acting cylinders provide lifting and
lowering action of the loader boom arms. Two,
double acting bucket cylinders, dump or curl the
bucket or provide for tilting of attachments. A
hydraulic oil reservoir, separate from all chain
drives, two 100 micron suction elements, a 10
micron hydraulic filter and an oil cooler
complete the hydraulic system. The hydraulic
system has a capacity of 8 gal. (30.3 I).
Safety Equipment The Ford CL35 and CL45 provide
a combination foot pedal lock and loader controls
neutral centering device. The loader cannot be
started unless the foot pedals are locked and the
hand control levers centered in neutral. When the
engine has started the seat bar can be lowered in
position which automatically unlocks the foot
pedals and steering control levers. Other
standard safety equipment includes safety belt,
boom locks, quick-tach lock, override starting
switch, ROPS, side screens and parling brake.
CL45 The engine assembly, Fig. 1, is located
directly behind the operators seat in a
completely enclosed compartment. The engine is a
four cylinder, liquid cooled, 42 horsepower,
Shibaura Model LEP854A-3 diesel engine. Standard
engine accessories include a dry type air
cleaner, oil filter, fuel filter, glow plugs, 12
volt alternator and starter, fuel pump and
mechanical governor. Operating Controls and
Instruments Standard instruments on the Ford
CL35 and CL45 include key ignition switch,
safety override starting switch, fuel gauge, glow
plug indicator, engine coolant temperature and
oil pressure warning light, hydraulic oil
temperature warning light, alternator light, hour
meter and light switch. Controls consist of hand
lever throttle and diesel shut-off, hand lever
speed, direction control, parking brake, and foot
pedal boom lift, bucket dump and auxiliary
hydraulic controls. Hydrostatic Drive Two engine
driven, in line axial variable displacement
piston hydrostatic pumps supply oil to two
hydraulic torque drive motors. One drive motor
for each side of the loader powers the wheels.
The final drive assembly, of each side of the
unit, is sealed inside a dust proof case and
consists of a single ASA 80 roller chain on the
CL35 and a single ASA 100 roller chain drive on
the CL45 running in an oil bath. Steering Steerin
g consists of two hand control levers, each
connected through a linkage arrangement to a

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions are suggested to help
prevent accidents. A careful operator is the best
operator. Most accidents can be avoided by
observing certain precautions. Read and take the
following precautions before operating this
loader to help prevent accidents. Equipment
should be operated only by those who are
responsible and instructed to do so.

• THE LOADER
• Read this manual carefully before using the
  loader. Working with unfamiliar equipment can
  lead to accidents.
• Do not allow anyone to ride on the loader with
  the operator.
• Make sure the control locks and the seat bar are
  installed and functioning at all times.
• Never run the engine in a closed building without
  adequate ventilation, as the exhaust fumes can
  cause death.
• Always fasten the seat belt before starting the
  engine.
• Never attempt to start the engine while standing
  beside the unit. Start the engine only while
  sitting in the operator's seat with the seat
  belt fastened. Always check to make certain that
  the seat cushion is secured to the frame.
• Keep the operator's platform free of debris.
• Never enter or leave the loader while the engine
  is running. Always lower the lift arms down
  against the frame, drop the bucket down to
  contact the ground, set the parking brake and
  shut off the engine prior to leaving the loader.
• If the unit is equipped with a cab enclosure kit
  always close the door prior to operating the
  loader lift arms.

• OPERATING THE LOADER
• Do not dismount from the loader and leave the
  loader lift arms raised. Always lower the lift
  arms down against the frame and drop the bucket
  down to contact the ground prior to leaving the
  loader.
• Always be watchful of bystanders when operating
  the loader.
• Always carry the bucket low for maximum
  stability and visability, whether the bucket is
  loaded or empty.
• Exercise extreme caution when operating the
  loader with a raised, loaded bucket or fork.
• Never attempt to lift loads in excess of loader
  capacity.

• MAINTENANCE
• Stop the engine before performing any service on
  the loader.
• Never refuel the loader while smoking or with the
  engine hot or running.
• Replace all missing, illegible, or damaged safety
  and warning decals. See section 5.3 for list.
• Do not modify or alter, or permit anyone to
  modify or alter this equipment or any of its
  components or any tractor function without first
  consulting a Ford Tractor Equipment Dealer.
• Do not bypass the starter safety system. Consult
  your Ford Tractor-Equipment Dealer if your safety
  starter controls are malfunctioning. Use jumper
  cables only in recommended manner.
• Do not make mechanical adjustments while the unit
  is in motion or when the engine is running.
  However, if minor engine adjustments must be
  made, securely block the loader wheels, and use
  extreme caution.
• Do not attempt to repair or tighten hydraulic
  hoses when the system is under pressure, when
  the engine is running, or when the lift arms are
  raised.
• Do not get under the bucket or lift arms or reach
  through the lift arms when the loader is raised.
• Never attach chains or ropes to the operator's
  guard for pulling purposes, as the loader can
  tip over.
• Whenever servicing or replacing pins in cylinder
  ends, buckets, etc., always use a brass drift and
  a hammer. Failure to do so could result in injury
  from flying metal fragments.
• Cooling system operates under pressure which is
  controlled by the radiator cap. It is dangerous
  to remove the cap while system is hot. Always
  turn cap slowly to the first stop and allow the
  pressure to escape before removing the cap
  entirely.

• OPERATING THE LOADER
• Always drive the loader at speeds compatible with
  safety, especially when operating over rough
  ground, crossing ditches, or when turning.
• Avoid jerky turns, starts, stops, or reverses.
• Use care when operating on steep grades to
  maintain proper stability.
• Do not turn the unit while the lift arms are in
  the raised position.
• Be careful when driving through door openings or
  under overhead objects. Always make sure there
  is sufficient clearance for the operator's
  guard.
• When travelling on public roads use accessory
  lights and devices for adequate warning to
  operators of other vehicles.
• Always be sure of water, gas, sewage and
  electrical line locations before you start to
  dig.
• Watch out for overhead and underground
  high-voltage electrical lines when operating the
  loader.
• Never leave the loader when it is parked on an
  incline. Always park the loader on level ground
  where possible. If the loader is to be parked on
  an incline, always lower the bucket so that the
  cutting lip contacts the ground and set the
  parking brake.
• Do not leave the loader when it is in motion.

engine coolant temperature. If the light comes on
during operation or fails to go out after
starting shut-off the engine immediately and
determine cause.
1. Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge indicates the quantity of fuel in
the fuel tank. The fuel tank capacity is 16.8
gal. (64 I). The diesel engine must not be
allowed to run out of fuel otherwise air will
have to be removed from the fuel (see section
4.7.8).
5. Hour Meter
The hour meter records the number of engine
operating hours and has a total read out of
9999.9 hours. The clock winds approximately every
12 seconds and will run a short time after the
engine has been shut off.
6. Engine Pre-Heat Indicator (Diesel Only)
The diesel engine is equipped with glow plugs to
assist in starting. The glow plugs are activated
by turning the ignition key counter clockwise as
far as possible and held in this position. The
pre-heat indicator will turn red when the air in
the combustion chamber has reached the
proper temperature for starting.
2. Alternator Light
The alternator light will come on if the
alternator is not producing sufficient current.

The loader is steered by moving one lever further
forward than the other. To turn right move the
left lever further than the right lever, to turn
left move the right lever further than the left
lever.
2.5 STEERING CONTROLS The two steering levers
control speed direction and turning the loader.
The R.H. lever controls the wheels on the R.H.
side of the loader and the L.H. lever the L.H.
wheels. Loader speed is controlled by the amount
each lever is moved from centre or neutral
position (fig. 2.5). The further away from
neutral the faster the travel speed. For maximum
power and slow travel speed move the control
levers only a small amount.
For the loader to turn or skid-steer within its
own length, one lever is moved forward and the
other back. This causes the wheels on one side to
turn forward and the wheels on the other side to
reverse turning the loader (fig. 2.5.1 C D).
NOTE The steering control levers automatically
center in neutral position when the seat bar is
in the up position.

2.6 FOOT PEDALS Operation of the boom lift
cylinders, bucket tilt cylinders and auxiliary
hydraulic circuit are controlled by foot pedals
(fig. 2.6) connected to a hydraulic control
valve. The hydraulic control valve is a series
type valve which allows simultaneous use of both
the boom lift and bucket tilt circuits. The
control valve is equipped with a 2150 PSI (148
bar) relief valve for circuit protection.
Boom Lift The L.H. pedal is the boom lift
control (fig. 2.6). To raise the boom press on
the heel (2) of the pedal. To lower the boom
press on the toe (1) of the pedal. Firm pressure
on the toe (2) of the pedal will lock the boom in
float position. This allows the bucket to follow
the ground as the loader moves backward. Auxiliary
Hydraulics The center pedal is used to engage
the auxiliary hydraulic circuit to power an
attachment such as a back hoe. Pressing on the
toe (3) of the pedal provides hydraulic pressure
to the female quick-connect coupling located at
the front of the boom arms. Firm pressure on the
toe (3) of the pedal places the valve in detent
position providing a continuous flow of hydraulic
oil to the attachment. Pressing on the heel of
the pedal (4) provides hydraulic pressure to the
male quick-connect coupling reversing the flow of
hydraulic oil. When the auxiliary circuit is not
in use return the foot pedal to neutral position
otherwise starting the loader may be difficult or
impossible and damage to the starter may occur.

seat (fig. 2.9). To engage the brakes pull
upward on the brake handle until it locks in
position. To release the brakes push the brake
release button, lih up on the brake handle until
the lock disengages and lower the brake handle
completely down.
Bucket Tilt The R.H. pedal is the bucket tilt
(dump) control. Pressing on the toe (5) of the
pedal will dump the bucket. Pressing on the heel
(6) of the pedal will roll the bucket back. For
operator comfort, the foot pedal control linkage
can be adjusted to change the foot pedal angle.
2.7 QUICK-TACH The quick-tach which is standard
equipment allows changing from one attachment to
another quickly without having to remove bolts or
pins.
To operate the boom lock, first remove any bucket
or attachment from the quick-tach raise the boom
arms to full height push the two boom lock pin
handles, located directly in front of the
operator at the top of the ROPS, outward,
extending the boom locking pins (see fig. 2.8).
With the ignition off, slowly lower the boom arms
down onto the pins.
To operate, lift the locking lever (fig. 2.7) up
to completely retract the lock pins. Tilt the
quick-tach frame forward with the bucket tilt
cylinders and drive into the attachment. Retract
the bucket tilt cylinders which will line up the
bottom of the attachment with the quick-tach lock
pins. Push the locking lever down, extending the
lock pins and engage the safety lock. Before
operating check that the lock pins are fully
engaged.
2.8 BOOM LOCK For safety while performing
regular service or maintenance work the loader is
