Safety Rules

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by an operator’s single careless act.

In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident preven- tion are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.

It has been said “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that kind of operator.

INSTALLATION

This Sub-Frame Mounting Kit is to be used only for the backhoes and tractors specified in the Sub- Frame Mount Installation section of this manual. Any other use or modification of this mounting kit may result in serious injury or death.

Hydraulics must be connected as instructed in this manual. Do not substitute parts, modify, or connect in any other way.

After connecting hoses, check that all control lever positions function as instructed in the Opera- tor’s Manual. Do not put into service until control lever and equipment movements are correct.

Safety instructions are important! Read all attachment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace- ment manuals are available from dealer or, in the United States and Canada, call 1-800-319-6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can result in serious injury or death.

Know your controls and how to stop engine and attachment quickly in an emergency.

Keep hands and body away from pressurized lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate skin and will cause serious injury or death.

Make sure that all operating and service person- nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it must be surgically removed as soon as possible by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan- grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-

TACT A PH YSICIA N IMMEDIATELY IF FLU ID ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.

Check that all hardware is properly installed. Always tighten to torque chart specifications unless instructed otherwise in this manual.

Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic oper- ation and allows loads or equipment components to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance, purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all hydraulic functions several times. Do this before p ut t i ng i n t o ser vice o r al l o win g an yo n e t o approach the equipment.

After connecting hoses, check that all control lever positions function as instructed in the Opera- tor’s Manual. Do not put into service until control lever and equipment movements are correct.

Protective hose sleeves must cover all hydrau- lic hoses within 20 inches of the operator and be secured onto metal hose fittings. Replace hoses or sleeves if damaged or if protective sleeve cannot be properly positioned or secured.

Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and valves are in good condition and not leaking before starting power unit or using equipment. Check and route hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hoses must not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed, pinched, or come into contact with any moving parts. Operate moveable components through full operational range to check clearances. Replace any damaged hoses immediately.

Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid entanglement in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

Make sure attachment is properly secured, adjusted, and in good operating condition.

This mounting kit is designed to provide secure mounting and adequate operator clearance when properly installed. Check clearance dimensions shown in figure 1 to be sure you have installed mounting kit correctly. Follow all mounting instruc- tions in this manual. Do not operate backhoe unless there is adequate clearance. Failure to check and comply with these instructions may result in serious injury or death.

Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times.
