OPERATION
OPERATION
Do Not operate this equipment in areas where insects such as bees may attack you and/or cause you to lose control of the equipment. If you must enter in such areas, use a tractor with an enclosed Cab and close the windows to prevent insects from entering. If a tractor cab is not available, wear suitable clothing including head, face, and hand protection to shield you from the insects. Attacking insects can cause you to lose control of the tractor, which can result in serious injury or death to you or bystanders. Never dismount a moving tractor.
Keep bystanders 10 feet away from the tractor and loader while operating. The bystanders could enter the path of the tractor or items could fall from the loader resulting in serious injury to the bystander.
Use extra care when turning or stopping. Allow for increased length and weight of added loader. The loader adds five to six feet of length in front of the tractor and significant weight. Allow extra distance when stopping or turning. Do not allow loader or attachment to contact solid objects.
Do not raise the loader into an overhead structure or allow a raised attachment to contact overhead structures. Sudden or unexpected contact with an overhead structure could result in serious injury.
Do not let the loader or attachment contact electrical power lines. Contact with electrical power lines can result in serious injury or electrocution. If the loader attachment contacts a power line remain in the tractor seat until the power has been shut off. Stepping off the tractor can permit electrical current to pass through the body resulting in electrocution.
Carry the loader and attachment low when transporting to reduce the potential of the tractor tipping over. Transport on slopes only at slow speeds and use gradual turning angles. Tractor wheel contact with any wash out, drop off or ground obstruction with a raised loader could result in the tractor tipping over and causing serious injury.
Do not work from the loader or attachments. Do now allow any riders on the loader, tractor or attachments. Falling off the loader could result in serious injury and/or tractor run over.
