SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
OPERATIONAL SAFETY (continued)
Before you operate any equipment, check over all pins, bolts and connections to be sure all are securely in place. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.
Do not work under a raised loader unless it is securely blocked or held in position. Do not depend on the power unit hydraulic system to hold the implement in place.
Operate the loader controls smoothly, avoiding jerky operation. Stop loader gradually when lowering or lifting loads.
Beware of low electrical wires when loader is raised. Serious injury or death can result if contact is made.
When handling material on a slope, always approach the material with the power unit facing uphill.
Only use a power unit equipped with a ROPS cab or rollover protective structure.
When stacking material, ALWAYS MAKE SURE MATERIAL IS PLACED SO THE STACK IS STABLE.
Keep all bystanders at a safe distance. REMEMBER FALLING ITEMS CAN ROLL OR TUMBLE.
Do not handle loads that exceed the weight limitations of the loader.
Carry the loads slowly and as low as possible to the ground. Avoid excessive speed during operation.
For operator safety, always keep load in front of power unit. NEVER position load back over operator. ALWAYS BE CAREFUL!
Beware of lift clearance when raising loader to maximum height.
Keep alert and watch the rear as well as the front when working with the loader. 8
