Check visibility. If visibility is impaired, reduce speed or consider other means of transport.
Allow for additional length of loader on tractor while turning.
Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting from one area to another. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.
When traveling over rough or hilly terrain or when mak- ing turns, slow down and use extra care.
Read all the safety warnings in the front of the manual.
S T O R A G E
•Never store equipment with fuel in the tank inside a building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark. Allow engine to cool before storing in an enclosure.
•Do not run engine indoors – exhaust gasses contain carbon monoxide, and odorless and deadly poison.
•At the end of the working season or when the pallet fork will not be used for a long period, it is good practice to clean off any dirt that may have accumulated.
•Inspect the pallet fork for loose, damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace if needed.
•Sand areas where paint is chipped or worn and repaint to prevent rust.
•Always store in a safe place away from children or livestock.
CAUTION!
When traveling on public roads, whether at night or during the day, use accessory light and devices for adequate warnings to operators of other vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.
