OPERATION
Do not use loader as a jack to raise the tractor tires off the ground. The loader could fail
causing the tractor and loader to fall to the ground resulting in serious injury.
(SL-25)
Use extreme care when loading, transporting or dumping loads that impair or partially block
the operator’s line of sight. Know where you are traveling. Make sure no bystanders are in
the area of travel. If a bystander assists in providing guidance, make sure they are not in the
path of travel. Keep all bystanders 25 feet away from travel path.
(SL-29)
Always look behind you before backing up. Make sure you are looking
in the direction of travel. A bystander could walk behind the tractor.
Running into a bystander can result in serious injury or death.
(SL-30)
Some tractors are equipped with a “Super Steer” front axle. When a
loader is mounted to this type of tractor, the bucket will shift in the
opposite direction from which the wheels are turned. Maximum shift will
be approximately 8 inches and most noticeable when the tractor is
stationary. Sudden or unexpected movement of the loader and
attachment could result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
(SL-33)
Operate the tractor and loader only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight
or with adequate artificial lighting. Never operate in darkness or foggy conditions where you
cannot clearly see at least 100 feet in front and to the sides of the tractor. Make sure you
can clearly see bystanders, ditches, steep slopes, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power
lines, and debris or obstruction in the travel path. If you are unable to clearly see these
types of items discontinue operating. Contact with unseen vehicles, bystanders,
obstructions, or drop-offs can cause serious injury.
(SL-35)
Never leave the Implement and Power Unit unattended while the Implement is in the raised
position. Accidental operation of a lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause the
implement to suddenly fall causing serious injury or possible death to anyone who might
inadvertently be under the Implement. Lower the implement carefully to the ground. Do not
put hands or feet under lifted components.
(SPU-3)
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.
(SL-38)
Make sure the hydraulic quick disconnects are fully seated into the connections. Do not use
the loader if the hydraulic connection is leaking. Leaking oil could allow the loader to fall
resulting in a serious crushing injury.
