OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3-1 GENERAL SAFETY
Only qualified people familiar with this operator’s
manual should operate this machine. Operator
should wear hard hat, safety glasses, and safety
shoes. The operator should read, understand and
practice all safety messages shown on the caution,
warning and danger decals affixed to the loader to
avoid serious injury or death. It is recommended that
tractor be equipped with Rollover Protective System
(ROPS) and a seat belt be used. Check for ditches,
stumps, holes or other obstacles that could upset
tractor or damage loader. Always turn off tractor
engine, set parking brake, and lower loader to
ground before leaving tractor operator’s seat.
3-2 PRE-OPERATION
IMPORTANT
Do not extend bucket cylinders without quick
hitch attachment installed on loader. Failure to
follow these instructions could cause bucket
cylinder damage and will void loader warranty.
NOTE
Check the tractor hydraulic fluid reservoir and
fill, if required.
3-3 INITIAL LOADER OPERATION
NOTE
Keep engine speed at low idle during the initial
loader operation.

IMPORTANT
To avoid hydraulic hose damage, be alert
and make sure hoses do not catch on trac-
tor and/or loader during mounting or dis-
mounting.
ESCAPING HYDRAULIC FLUID UNDER
PRESSURE CAN HAVE SUFFICIENT
FORCE TO PENETRATE SKIN, CAUSING
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. BEFORE
APPLYING PRESSURE TO SYSTEM, BE
SURE ALL CONNECTIONS ARE TIGHT
AND THAT LINES, TUBES, AND HOSES
ARE NOT DAMAGED. FLUID ESCAPING
FROM A VERY SMALL HOLE CAN BE
ALMOST INVISIBLE. USE A PIECE OF
CARDBOARD OR WOOD, RATHER THAN
HANDS, TO SEARCH FOR SUSPECTED
LEAKS. IF INJURED BY ESCAPING FLUID,
SEE A DOCTOR AT ONCE. SERIOUS
INFECTION OR REACTION CAN DEVELOP
IF PROPER MEDICAL TREATMENT IS NOT
ADMINISTERED IMMEDIATELY.
