SAFETY  PRECAUTIONS 

Lack of attention to safety  can result in accident,  personal injury,  reduction of  efficiency  and worst  of  all­

loss of life. Watch for safety hazards and correct deficiencies promptly. Use the following safety precautions 

as  a  general  guide  to safe  operations  when using  this machine.  Additional safety  precautions  are used 
throughout this manual for specific operating and maintenance procedures.  Read this manual and review 
the  safety  precautions often  until  you  know  the  limitations. 

1.  Read the  Operator's  Manual. 

2.  Become familiar  with  all  the  machine's  controls  and  all  the  caution,  warning,  and  danger 

decals  affixed to  the  machine before attempting  to  start  or  operate machine. 

3.  Before  starting  or  operating  the  machine,  make  a  walk  around  inspection  and  check  for 

obvious  defects  such  as  loose  mounting  bolts  and  damaged  components.  Correct  any 
deficiency  before  starting. 

4. 

Do  not  allow  children  to  operate  the  loader.  Do  not  allow  adults  to  operate  it  without  proper 

instruction. 

5. 

Do  not  carry  passengers. 

6.  Keep  the  area  of  operation  clear  of  all  persons  particularly  small  children  and  pets. 

7.  Use  a  piece  of  cardboard  or  wood  rather  than  hands  to  search  for  hydraulic  leaks. Escaping 

hydraulic  oil  under  pressure  can  penetrate  the  skin.  If  fluid  is injected into  the  skin,  it  must  be 
surgically  removed within a few hours by  a doctor familiar  with this form of injury  or  gangrene 
may  result. 

8.  Lower implement  to  ground,  stop tractor  engine and apply  parking brake before  leaving 

tractor. 

9.  Do not lift or carry  anyone  in  the  bucket  or  on  any other portion  of  the  loader  or  loader 

attachment. 

10.  Do  not  get  under  bucket  or  lift  arms  or  reach  through  lift  arms  when  the  loader  is  raised.
