SAFETY

Lower the loader to the bed of the truck or trailer when transporting the tractor and loader with a truck. Measure to ensure the transport height does not exceed the legal limits. Contact with overhead obstructions or power lines can cause property damage or serious injury.

In case of mechanical difficulty during operation, place the transmission in the park position, set the parking brake, shut down all power, including the PTO and the engine and remove the key. Wait until all rotating motion has stopped before dismounting. (SG-39)

Transport an empty bale spear tilted back in the vertical position to prevent unintended harm to a person, animal or object. Serious injury or death may occur from a bale spear puncture.

Never drive the power unit with the bucket or plow in the raised position. Traveling with the bucket or plow in the raised position increases the chances of colliding with overhead obstructions and making the unit more prone to tipping over.

Maintenance and Service Safety Instructions and Practices

Never interfere with factory-set hydraulic calibrations. Any change in calibration could cause a failure of the equipment and may result in injury. (SBH-13)

READ, UNDERSTAND, and FOLLOW the following Safety Messages. Serious injury or death may occur unless care is taken to follow the warnings and instructions stated in the Safety Messages. Always use good common sense to avoid hazards.

Always maintain the safety signs in good readable condition. If the safety signs are missing, damaged, or unreadable, obtain and install replacement safety signs immediately. (SG-5)

Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local traffic regulations.
