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 use an attachment that is not securely attached to the quick
hitch, The attachment could fall resulting in severe crushing injuries
or death to the operator or bystanders.
• Rotate both hitch pin levers down to the locked position. You should feel a firm
resistance when locking the levers down. The pins must extend through the slots in
the bottom of the attachment bracket.
• Examine the fit between the quick hitch and the bottom of the attachment bracket.
The pins must extend through the slots in the bottom of the attachment bracket. The
tapered side of each pin must be firmly wedged against the surface of the slot on
the bottom of the attachment bracket. The attachment bucket should fit snugly
against the bottom of the quick hitch bracket. If there is a gap of more than 1/8” or if
the pins are not firmly seated do not use the attachment. Contact your dealer before
using the attachment.
• On level ground, tilt the attachment down 90° degrees and lower it to the ground.
Lower the loader further to slightly raise the front of the tractor off the ground. Drive
the tractor in reverse while the attachment is on the ground for 20-30 feet to ensure
the attachment does not disconnect. If the attachment disconnects during this
process, discontinue the use of the attachment and contact your dealer.
NEVER walk or work under or allow any person to be underneath a
raised loader or attachment.
