8. Operating the Tractor and Loader
Do not attempt to lift loads in excess of loader capacity.
Operating loader on a hillside is dangerous. Extreme care is recommended. Keep bucket
as low as possible.
Use extreme care when piling material above 6 feet high. Material
could shift and fall onto the operator or bystanders. The material could
crush or suffocate the operator or bystander resulting in serious injury
or death.
(SL-17)
Do not raise the loader on a hillside. Do not transport across a slope with
a raised loader. When the loader is raised, the center of gravity of the
tractor and loader is raised increasing the potential for the tractor to tip
over. Tractor wheel contact with any wash out, drop off or the ground
obstruction with a raised loader could result in the tractor tipping over and
causing serious bodily injury.
(SL-21)
Do not operate or raise the loader near the edge of a ditch or where loose
soil can give way and allow the tractor to tip over. Keep the tractor tires
away from loose soil or the edge of a drop off. Always wear your seatbelt
when operating the loader to reduce the possibility of serious injury from a
tractor tip over or roll over.
(SL-24)
The Boom is designed only to position and operate the Bucket which is attached to it. Never
attempt to lift, pull, or push other solid objects with the boom or bucket. Serious injury could
result from a structural failure when the Boom is used for purposes other than those for
which it was designed.
(SBH-9)
Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the Tractor seat
with the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the Tractor or
Implement may cause serious injury or death.
(SG-29)
DO NOT operate this Implement on a Tractor that is not properly maintained. Should a
mechanical or Tractor control failure occur while operating, immediately shut down the
Tractor and perform repairs before resuming operation. Serious injury and possible death
could occur from not maintaining this Implement and Tractor in good operating condition.
