Operating Check List

Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of the Pallet Forks. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that no one operates the Pallet Forks without first having read, fully understood and become totally familiar with the Operator’s Manual. Make sure the operator has paid particular attention to:

•Important Safety Information, pages 1 to 3

•Section 1: Installation, page 6

•Section 2: Operating Procedures, page 7

•Section 3: Maintenance & Lubrication, page 9

Instructions

!DANGER

Do not drive up to anyone standing in front of a fixed object such as a wall or bench. Never assume that the brakes will stop the machine in time.

!DANGER

Keep pedestrians, pets and livestock away from your work area. Objects can shift and fall from the pallets causing injury.

!CAUTION

Do not allow riders on the machine, Pallet Forks, pallets and palletized loads.

!CAUTION

Do not use Pallet Forks for digging, pushing or pulling objects and do not use them for lifting objects except on pallets. Misuse of the Pallet Forks can damage the forks and bucket.

!WARNING

Lift objects only with pallets. Make sure objects on the pallets are secure. Not using pallets can result in the load falling, damaging the machine and load, and injury to yourself and others.

!WARNING

Do not lift loads that exceed the back height of the bucket or if available, bucket load guard.

!WARNING

Using Pallet Forks will reduced stability of a machine. Always transport a load on the Pallet Forks low to the ground to help maintain stability of the load and machine. Follow recommendations provided by the manufacturer of the machine when adding counter weights and other ballast.

!DANGER

Transporting loads over ramps, grades, bumpy, soft and/or slippery surfaces will reduce machine stability and lift capacity. Transporting and lifting loads under these conditions is extremely dangerous.

!DANGER

Always transport over ramps and inclines in excess of 10 percent with the load on the “uphill” side of the machine. This will require one to drive-up and back down steep inclines. Always travel straight up and down inclines and never make turns while on the incline.

!DANGER

Sound a horn before traveling in reverse. Drive at a slower speed to compensate for increased blind spots.

!DANGER

Use a “spotter” when it is hard to see in the direction you are traveling and when placing a load that obstructs your vision. A person could be standing or bent over in a blind spot.

!DANGER

Always keep load centered on the Pallet Forks and machine at all times, even when stopped. Otherwise, the machine could tip or the load could shift and fall causing damage to the machine, load and injury to yourself and others.

!DANGER

Keep load slightly tilted back when using Pallet Forks. Rotating the front of the Pallet Forks too high can cause the load to shift and fall on the operator and others. Rotating the front of the Pallet Forks level or lower than the back can cause the load to fall forward.

!DANGER

Keep equipment and pallet load away from electrical power lines. Place an orange warning sign under overhead electrical power lines indicating type of danger above.

!WARNING

Always secure bucket and Skid Steers with solid supports before working under them. Never work under equipment supported by hydraulics. Hydraulics can drop equipment if controls are actuated or if hydraulic line burst. Either situation can drop machinery instantly even when power to the hydraulics is off.
