3. Safety instructions for using the attachment
Please bear in mind that safety is the result of several factors. The loader-attachment combination is highly
powerful and improper or careless use or maintenance may cause serious personal injury or property
damage. Due to this, all operators must carefully familiarise themselves about correct use and the operator's
manuals of both the loader and the attachment before starting operation. Do not use the attachment if you
have not completely familiarised yourself with its operation and the related hazards.
Misuse, careless use, or using an attachment that is in poor condition, may cause
risk of serious injuries. Familiarise yourself with the controls of the loader, correct
coupling procedure, and the correct way to operate the attachment at a safe area.
Study especially how to stop the equipment in a safe manner. Read all safety
precautions carefully.
Read all safety instructions carefully before handling the attachment

When attaching an attachment to the loader, ensure that the locking pins of the
loader's quick attach plate are in the lower position and that they have locked
the attachment to the loader.
Never lift or move an unlocked attachment.

The Dozer Blade 2000 is designed to be used by one operator at a time. Do not let
others near the danger area of the equipment when it is in use.

Always transport the attachment as low as possible to keep the centre of gravity low,
and keep the telescopic boom retracted during driving.

Do not drive at high speed unless you can be sure that there are no obstacles at the
working area. The loader may stop suddenly if it hits an obstacle, regardless of the
spring release mechanism. Remember that there may be hidden obstructions or
fragile surfaces under the snow.

Shut down the loader and place the attachment to a safe position as shown in Safe
stopping procedure before any cleaning, maintenance, or adjustments.

Pay attention to the surroundings and any other persons and machines moving in the
vicinity. Pay attention to the contours of the terrain and other hazards, such as
branches and trees that can reach to the driver's area, loose rocks, and slippery
surfaces.

Make sure to use only an attachment that is in good condition. Do not modify the
attachment in any way that could affect its safety.

Use the attachment only for its intended purpose. Other use may create unnecessary
safety risks, and the equipment may get damaged.

Make sure that the loader is equipped with necessary safety components, and that
they are in working condition. Seat belt must be used. If there are specific hazards
related to the operating area, use appropriate safety equipment.

Also read the safety instructions and correct use of the loader from the operator's
manual of the loader.
