SAFETY
DO NOT operate this Implement on a Tractor that is not properly maintained. Should a mechanical or Tractor control failure occur while operating, immediately shut down the Tractor and perform repairs before resuming operation. Serious injury and possible death could occur from not maintaining this Implement and Tractor in good operating condition.
(SG-36)
Do Not operate this equipment in areas where insects such as bees may attack you and/or cause you to lose control of the equipment. If you must enter in such areas, use a tractor with an enclosed Cab and close the windows to prevent insects from entering. If a tractor cab is not available, wear suitable clothing including head, face, and hand protection to shield you from the insects. Attacking insects can cause you to lose control of the tractor, which can result in serious injury or death to you or bystanders. Never dismount a moving tractor.
Keep bystanders 10 feet away from the tractor and loader while operating. The bystanders could enter the path of the tractor or items could fall from the loader resulting in serious injury to the bystander.
For added safety when lifting loads above the height of the operator, install a certified Falling Object Protective Structure. Shiftable loads, round bales, large loose items, and loader attachments can fall toward the operator resulting in serious injury or death. Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) rated Cab may be obtained from the tractor dealer or other sources.
Before dismounting the tractor and loader lower the loader to the ground or onto solid support blocks. Engage the loader valve travel lock to prevent inadvertent movement of the valve controls causing the loader to suddenly move and drop. Sudden dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious injury.
Use extra care when turning or stopping. Allow for increased length and weight of added loader. The loader adds five to six feet of length in front of the tractor and significant weight. Allow extra distance when stopping or turning. Do not allow loader or attachment to contact solid objects.
Do not raise the loader into an overhead structure or allow a raised attachment to contact overhead structures. Sudden or unexpected contact with an overhead structure could result in serious injury.
