OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When operating the loader with the grapple attach-
ment, always remove the upper level of the stack
first and approach the stack with the bucket level.
The upper grapple teeth must be in the maximum
open position. Never ram the grapple into material to
be loaded to gain the desired depth. Close the upper
grapple assembly only far enough to hold the mater-
ial in place.
