General Safety Instructions
• Have a first-aid kit available for use and know how to use it.
• Have a fire extinguisher available, stored in a highly visible location, and know how to use it.
• Wear appropriate protective gear. This list may include but is not limited to:
- hard hat
- protective shoes with slip resistant soles
- protective glasses or goggles
- heavy gloves
- wet weather gear
- hearing protection
- respirator or filter mask
• Read and understand the Operator’s Manual and all safety signs before operating, servicing,
adjusting, repairing, or unplugging the equipment.
• Never work beneath raised loader unless it is securely supported. The following are
instructions for the lift lock supports.
• Do not pivot or turn tractor with bucket raised, except at a minimum speed. Always make
allowance for length of loader when making turns.
• Never leave tractor unattended while the bucket is raised. Always lower bucket to the ground
and shut off before leaving the tractor seat.
• Do not walk under raised bucket.
• Never operate loader while operator is not seated in the driver's seat on the tractor.
• Keep tractor on solid ground. Loose fill, rocks and holes can be dangerous for loader
operation or movement.
• Never operate a loader with frayed or damaged hoses or leaking fittings.
• For stability, rear wheels of tractor should be set a maximum convenient spacing and add
ballast to rear wheels.
• Do not raise bucket to extreme heights while tractor is on an incline. Carry loader low for
safety. Load center when bucket is raised on a slope. Be alert for terrain changes and adjust
bucket accordingly. Keep bucket low, no more than one foot high, as long as possible.
• Note: A pivoting front axle acts like a three-wheeled tractor until the stops hit the axle.
• If the cylinders are used to raise front wheels of tractor for service, place blocks under tractor
before working around front end.
Installation
• To install safety signs, ensure the installation area is clean and dry. Decide on the exact
position before you remove the backing paper. Remove the smallest portion of the split
backing paper and align over the specified area. Carefully press in place.
• Slowly peel back the remaining paper and smooth the remaining portion in place. Small air
pockets can be pierced with a pin and smoothed out.
