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 per tractor manu-
facturer’s recommendations. 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.
BUCKET LEVEL GAUGE ROD
The bucket level gauge rod (Figure 4, page 13) can
be used to determine bucket angle. Before begin-
ning work, observe the position of gauge rod with
bucket flat on ground. Raise boom to several differ-
ent positions. At each position, level bucket, then
observe gauge rod. Once familiar with the gauge rod
positions, operation of the loader will be easier and
more efficient.
OPERATION
The loader should be operated with the tractor
engine running at 1200-1700 rpm. Excessive speeds
are dangerous and may cause bucket spillage and
unnecessary strain on both the tractor and loader.
When operating in temperatures below 30°F, run the
tractor engine belolw 1200 rpm until the hydraulic
fluid temperature exceeds 30°F.
The following text and illustrations offer suggested
loader and tractor operating techniques.
