SAFETY

Lower the loader to the bed of the truck or trailer when transporting the tractor and loader with a truck. Measure to ensure the transport height does not exceed the legal limits. Contact with overhead obstructions or power lines can cause property damage or serious injury.

Before dismounting the tractor and loader, lower the loader to the ground or onto solid support blocks. Sudden dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious injury.

Transport an empty bale spear tilted back in the vertical position to prevent unintended harm to a person, animal or object. Serious injury or death may occur from a bale spear puncture.

Never drive the power unit with the bucket or plow in the raised position. Traveling with the bucket or plow in the raised position increases the chances of colliding with overhead obstructions and making the unit more prone to tipping over.
