Make sure all air is purged from the hydraulic system before using the loader. Air in the system can cause the loader to respond sluggishly or with unexpected movement. The air can be purged from the cylinder lines by fully cycling the cylinders several times from the fully closed to fully open position. Sudden or unexpected movement or dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious injury.

Never allow anyone to get under the loader or attachment or to reach through the loader lift arms when raised. Serious injury could result from crushing or pinching by the loader or attachment.
