SAFETY

Read and understand all the safety messages listed in this manual. For your safety and the safety of others near the machine, learn how to control and operate the loader properly. It is your responsibility to inform subsequent operators and owners of these precautions.

General Safety Notes:

Improper use of the loader and tractor can cause serious injury or death. Operate the loader while seated in the tractor seat only.

Keep the work area clear of other persons.

Never leave the tractor unattended while the attachment is raised. Always lower the attachment to ground and shut tractor off before leaving the tractor seat.

Never work beneath a raised loader unless it is securely supported. The control lever can be moved or a hydraulic leak could cause the loader to drop resulting in serious injury or death. Refer to the Lift Lock Instructions Decal for proper use of the lift locks.

Prior to use, check to ensure the attachment is properly locked to the quick-tach. Verify from tractor seat by lowering the attachment to the ground and retracting the lift cylinders.

Never operate loader with frayed or damaged hoses or leaking fittings. A burst could cause the loader to drop suddenly and result in serious injury or death and cause damage to the loader or tractor.

Keep tractor on solid ground when raising loader. Loose fill rocks and holes can be dangerous for loader operation and movement.

If for some reason, you feel the tractor tipping, immediately lower the loader.

A pivoting front axle acts like a three-wheeled tractor until the stops hit the axle. Space rear tires as recommended by the tractor manufacturer. Maximize width for high lift applications and uneven terrain.

Add rear ballast as required to ensure 25% of gross vehicle weight is transferred to the rear axle. Loader, attachment and payload must be included as weight.

Do not raise attachment to extreme heights while tractor is on an incline. Be alert for terrain changes and adjust accordingly. Keep attachment at low travel height, no more than one foot, as long as possible.

Allow for attachment and loader length when turning.

The tractor must be equipped with an approved Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS) and safety belts.

Use proper lighting and safety warnings when transporting equipment on public roads and during darkness. The Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem must be visible. Check with your local Law Enforcement Agency for specific requirements.
