TIRE SAFETY

OPERATION SAFETY

TRANSPORT SAFELY

PRACTICE SAFE MAINTENANCE

•  Tire changing can be dangerous 

and must be performed by trained 

personnel using the correct tools 

and equipment.

•  Always maintain correct tire 

pressure. Do not inflate tires 

above recommended pressures 

shown in the Operator’s Manual.

•  When inflating tires, use a clip-on 

chuck and extension hose long 

enough to allow you to stand 

to one side and NOT in front of 

or over the tire assembly. Use a 

safety cage if available.

•  Securely support the implement 

when changing a wheel.

•  When removing and installing 

wheels, use wheel handling 

equipment adequate for the 

weight involved.

•  Make sure wheel bolts have been 

tightened to the specified torque.

•  Some attachments may have 

foam or sealant inside them and 

must be disposed of properly.

•  Stay alert for holes, rocks, and 

roots in the terrain and other 
hidden hazards. Keep away from 
drop-offs.

•  Stop implement immediately 

upon striking an obstruction. 
Turn engine off, remove key, 
inspect and repair any damage 
before resuming operation.

•  Never operate tractor and 

implement under trees with low 
hanging limbs. Operators can be 
knocked off the tractor and then 
run over by implement.

•  Comply with federal, state, and 

local laws.

•  Use towing vehicle and trailer of 

adequate size and capacity Secure 

equipment towed on a trailer with 

tie downs and chains.

•  Sudden braking can cause a 

towed trailer to swerve and upset. 

Reduce speed if towed trailer is 

not equipped with brakes.

•  Avoid contact with any overhead 

utility lines or electrically charged 

conductors.

•  Always drive with load on end of 

loader arms low to the ground.

•  Always drive straight up and 

down steep inclines with heavy 

end of a tow vehicle with loader 

attachment on the “uphill” side.

•  Understand procedure before doing 

work. Refer to the Operator’s Manual 

for additional information.

•  Work on a level surface in a clean dry 

area that is well-lit.

•  Lower implement to the ground 

and follow all shutdown procedures 

before leaving the operator’s seat to 

perform maintenance.

•  Do not work under any hydraulic 

supported equipment. It can settle, 

suddenly leak down, or be lowered 

accidentally. If it is necessary to 

work under the equipment, securely 

support it with stands or suitable 

blocking beforehand.

•  Use properly grounded electrical 

outlets and tools.

•  Use correct tools and equipment for 

the job that are in good condition.

•  Allow equipment to cool before 

working on it.

•  Engage park brake when stopped on 

an incline.

•  Maximum transport speed for an 

attached equipment is 20 mph. DO 

NOT EXCEED. Never travel at a speed 

which does not allow adequate 

control of steering and stopping. 

Some rough terrains require a slower 

speed.

•  As a guideline, use the following 

maximum speed weight ratios for 

attached equipment:

           - 

20 mph

 when weight of attached

              equipment is less than or equal

              to the weight of machine towing

              the equipment.

           - 

10 mph

 when weight of attached

             equipment exceeds weight of

             machine towing equipment but

             not more than double the weight.

•  IMPORTANT:

 Do not tow a load that 

is more than double the weight of the 

vehicle towing the load.

•  Disconnect battery ground cable 

(-) before servicing or adjusting 

electrical systems or before welding 

on implement.

•  Inspect all parts. Make certain parts 

are in good condition & installed 

properly.

•  Replace parts on this implement 

with genuine ABI Attachments parts 

only.

•  Do not alter this implement in a 

way which will adversely affect its 

performance.

•  Do not grease or oil implement 

while it is in operation.

•  Remove buildup of grease, oil, or 

debris.

•  Always make sure any material and 

waste products from the repair and 

maintenance of the implement are 

properly collected and disposed.

•  Remove all tools and unused parts 

before operation.
