SAFETY

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. (SL-14)

Do not operate the loader from the ground. Operate the tractor and loader only while seated in the tractor seat with the seatbelt fastened. The loader could fall crushing a person resulting in serious injury or death.

Use extreme care when piling material above 6 feet high. Material could shift and fall onto the operator or bystanders. The material could crush or suffocate the operator or bystander resulting in serious injury or death.

Know before you DIG. Call 888-258-0808 and request that all buried utilities locations be identified before digging in unfamiliar ground. Do not let the loader or attachment contact buried electrical power lines, utilities or gas lines. Contact with electrical power lines can result in serious bodily injury or electrocution. If the loader 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.

Do not use loader as a jack to raise the tractor tires off the ground. The loader could fail causing the tractor and loader to fall to the ground resulting in serious injury.

Use extreme care when loading, transporting or dumping loads that impair or partially block the operator’s line of sight. Know where you are traveling. Make sure no bystanders are in the area of travel. If a bystander assists in providing guidance, make sure they are not in the path of travel. Keep all bystanders 25 feet away from travel path.

Always look behind you before backing up. Make sure you are looking in the direction of travel. A bystander could walk behind the tractor. Running into a bystander can result in serious injury or death.
