SAFETY

Never leave the Implement and Power Unit unattended while the Implement is in the raised position. Accidental operation of a lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause the implement to suddenly fall causing serious injury or possible death to anyone who might inadvertently be under the Implement. Lower the implement carefully to the ground. Do not put hands or feet under lifted components.

The center of gravity of a Power Unit equipped with a front-mounted Implement is shifted to the front and removes weight from the rear wheels. The Power Unit should maintain at least 25% total weight with the maximum load in the bucket or attachment on the rear wheels to prevent tipping forward, loss of steering control, and possible injury. Add counterweight if required when operating on slopes and proceed with the load uphill to prevent tipping. Reference the Power Unit’s Operator’s Manual or an authorized dealer for information on adding additional weight.

Your driving vision may be reduced or impaired by the tractor, cab, or implement. Before driving on public roadways identify any limited vision areas, and make adjustments to your operating position, mirrors, and the implement transport position so that you can clearly see the area where you will be traveling, and any traffic that may approach you. Failure to maintain adequate vision of the public roadway and traffic can result in serious injury or even death.

Make sure the hydraulic quick disconnects are fully seated into the connections. Do not use the loader if the hydraulic connection is leaking. Leaking oil could allow the loader to fall resulting in a serious crushing injury.

If the loader valve controls fail to functions properly discontinue use of the tractor and loader until the controls are properly repaired. Sudden or unexpected movement or dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious injury.

Make sure all air is purged from the hydraulic system before using the loader. Air in the system can cause the loader to respond sluggishly or with unexpected movement. The air can be purged from the cylinder lines by fully cycling the cylinders several times from the fully closed to fully open position. Sudden or unexpected movement or dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious injury.
