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.
DANGER
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
WARNING

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.

This attachment 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.

Risk of thrown objects - Keep the discharge chute directed away from other
persons or fragile objects.
Make sure that the rotation of discharge chute works
smoothly, and that the discharge chute protector and throwing height deflectors are
securely fastened. Lock the manual throwing height adjustment securely.
 Impact hazard - Thrown objects.
Do not let bystanders stay near the machine.
Stop the attachment if others get closer than 5 metres from the attachment. Use
only if all covers in place.
 Risk of entanglement and severing near the Leaf blower - Follow safe stopping
procedure before leaving the driver's seat. Never leave the driver’s seat when the
attachment is running or when the auxiliary hydraulics control lever of the loader is
locked on. Always keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

The attachment is to be used by one operator at a time. Do not approach or allow
others to approach the operating area when another person is operating the
controls of the loader.

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. Perform daily
inspections and read the instructions regarding service and maintenance. Never
operate the attachment if the hydraulic systems of both the attachment and the
loader are not completely intact. Check the condition of the Leaf blower rotor
regularly.
