SAFETY
Only mount the loader on a tractor that is listed on the mounting instructions. Never mount
on a tricycle steering front axle. Move the tractor front and rear wheels to the widest spacing
and add the recommended rear tractor ballast to prevent tractor tip over. Keep the tractor
tires properly inflated. Maintain at least 25% of the total Tractor and Loader weight including
the maximum load in the bucket or attachment on the rear axle. Always wear your seatbelt
and make sure the ROPS structure is fully deployed to prevent serious injury or death from
the tractor tipping over.
(SL-11)
Carry the loader and attachment low when transporting to reduce the
potential of the tractor tipping over. Transport on slopes only at slow
speeds and use gradual turning angles. Tractor wheel contact with any
wash out, drop off or ground obstruction with a raised loader could result
in the tractor tipping over and causing serious injury.
(SL-12)
Do not work from the loader or attachments. Do now allow any riders on
the loader, tractor or attachments. Falling off the loader could result in
serious injury and/or tractor run over.
(SL-14)
Do not operate the loader from the ground. Operate the tractor and loader only while seated
in the tractor seat with the seatbelt fastened. The loader could fall crushing a person
resulting in serious injury or death.
(SL-16)
Use extreme care when piling material above 6 feet high. Material
could shift and fall onto the operator or bystanders. The material could
crush or suffocate the operator or bystander resulting in serious injury
or death.
(SL-17)
Know before you DIG. Call 888-258-0808 and request that all buried utilities locations be
identified before digging in unfamiliar ground. Do not let the loader or attachment contact
buried electrical power lines, utilities or gas lines. Contact with electrical power lines can
result in serious bodily injury or electrocution. If the loader contacts a power line, remain in
the tractor seat until the power has been shut off. Stepping off the tractor can permit
electrical current to pass through the body resulting in electrocution.
(SL-18)
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.
