SAFETY RULES

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

(Safety Rules continued from previous page)

„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 getting caught 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.

„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 system in “locked up” position at all times.

„Remove seat and upper support assembly before installing or removing backhoe from tractor. Failure to comply may result in equipment failure and/or personal injury.

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

„A minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on the tractor front wheels when attachments are in transport position. Without this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal injury or death. The weight may be attained with a loader. Weigh the tractor and equipment. Do not estimate.

„Do not install backhoe and required counter- weights on tractor if the total tractor and equipment weight then exceeds the ROPS weight certification of the tractor. To reduce overall weight of unit, remove liquid from rear tires and remove mid- mount mower, if equipped.

„Do not allow bystanders in the area when oper- ating, attaching, removing, assembling, or servic- ing equipment.

„Before operating, make sure stabilizer pads are lowered firmly to the ground. Stabilizer arms pro- vide support for the backhoe and support for the backhoe mounting brackets.

„The only time the backhoe may be operated from a position other than the operator seat is dur- ing backhoe attachment and removal. Operator must:

Read Mounting Kit Manual instructions on attaching and removing backhoe and use extreme care.

Always stand between rear tire and backhoe stabilizer arms or along side of tractor to avoid being trapped should the boom swing control be accidentally activated.

„Never leave equipment unattended with engine running or with bucket in raised position. Always engage swing and boom transport locks, relieve system pressure by operating controls, and remove ignition key before leaving equipment.

„Refer to backhoe manual and follow all mainte- nance safety rules and instructions.

„Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to modify or alter the equipment or any of its compo- nents in any way.

„Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

„Tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws to torque chart specifications. Check that all cotter pins are installed securely to ensure equipment is in a safe condition before putting unit into service.

„Make sure all safety decals are installed. Replace if damaged. (See Parts section for loca- tion.)
