OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3-1 GENERAL SAFETY
Only qualified people familiar with this operator’s manual should operate this machine. Operator should wear hard hat, safety glasses, and safety shoes. The operator should read, understand and practice all safety messages shown on the caution, warning and danger decals affixed to the loader to avoid serious injury or death. It is recommended that tractor be equipped with Rollover Protective System (ROPS) and a seat belt be used. Check for ditches, stumps, holes or other obstacles that could upset tractor or damage loader. Always turn off tractor engine, set parking brake, and lower loader to ground before leaving tractor operator’s seat.
3-2 PRE-OPERATION
IMPORTANT
Do not extend bucket cylinders without quick hitch attachment installed on loader. Failure to follow these instructions could cause bucket cylinder damage and will void loader warranty.
NOTE
Check the tractor hydraulic fluid reservoir and fill, if required.
3-3 INITIAL LOADER OPERATION
NOTE
Keep engine speed at low idle during the initial loader operation.
WARNING
ESCAPING HYDRAULIC FLUID UNDER PRESSURE CAN HAVE SUFFICIENT FORCE TO PENETRATE SKIN, CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. BEFORE APPLYING PRESSURE TO SYSTEM, BE SURE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHT AND THAT LINES, TUBES, AND HOSES ARE NOT DAMAGED. FLUID ESCAPING FROM A VERY SMALL HOLE CAN BE ALMOST INVISIBLE. USE A PIECE OF CARDBOARD OR WOOD, RATHER THAN HANDS, TO SEARCH FOR SUSPECTED LEAKS. IF INJURED BY ESCAPING FLUID, SEE A DOCTOR AT ONCE. SERIOUS INFECTION OR REACTION CAN DEVELOP IF PROPER MEDICAL TREATMENT IS NOT ADMINISTERED IMMEDIATELY.
