SAFETY
Maintenance and Service Safety Instructions and Practices
Lower the loader to the bed of the truck or trailer when transporting the
tractor and loader with a truck. Measure to ensure the transport height
does not exceed the legal limits. Contact with overhead obstructions or
power lines can cause property damage or serious injury.
(SL-34)
In case of mechanical difficulty during operation, place the transmission in the park
position, set the parking brake, shut down all power, including the PTO and the engine and
remove the key. Wait until all rotating motion has stopped before dismounting.
(SG-39)
Transport an empty bale spear tilted back in the vertical position to
prevent unintended harm to a person, animal or object. Serious injury
or death may occur from a bale spear puncture.
(SL-39)
Never drive the power unit with the bucket or plow in the raised position.
Traveling with the bucket or plow in the raised position increases the
chances of colliding with overhead obstructions and making the unit more
prone to tipping over.
(SNPO-37)
Never interfere with factory-set hydraulic calibrations. Any change in calibration could
cause a failure of the equipment and may result in injury.
(SBH-13)
READ, UNDERSTAND, and FOLLOW the following Safety Messages. Serious injury or
death may occur unless care is taken to follow the warnings and instructions stated in the
Safety Messages. Always use good common sense to avoid hazards.
(SG-2)
Always maintain the safety signs in good readable condition. If the safety signs are missing,
damaged, or unreadable, obtain and install replacement safety signs immediately.
(SG-5)
Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in
such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the
Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local
traffic regulations.
(SG-6 )
Do not modify or alter this Implement. Do not permit anyone to modify or alter this
Implement, any of its components or any Implement function.
