SAFETY

Do not raise the loader on a hillside. Do not transport across a slope with a raised loader. When the loader is raised, the center of gravity of the tractor and loader is raised increasing the potential for the tractor to tip over. Tractor wheel contact with any wash out, drop off or the ground obstruction with a raised loader could result in the tractor tipping over and causing serious bodily injury.

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.

In case of mechanical difficulty during operation, place the transmission in the park position, set the parking brake, shut down all power, including the PTO and the engine and remove the key. Wait until all rotating motion has stopped before dismounting. (SG-39)

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.
