Improper operation can cause serious
injury or death.
Pre-operation
This attachment is designed to generate continuous
hydraulic flow to run attachments mounted on the front
of a tractor only.
NEVER
use this machine for any
other purpose.
Read the operators manual for the “Tractor”.
NEVER
allow untrained people to operate.
Operating instructions must be given to everyone
before operating this attachment and at least once a
year thereafter in accordance with OSHA regulations.
NEVER
exceed the maximum recommended input
power or speed specifications for the attachment.
Over-powering or over-speeding the attachment may
cause personal injury and/or machine damage.
NEVER
use machine with an attachment that is
heavier than the rated lift capacity of the tractor.
Instability can lead to serious injury or death.
Keep all shields, guards, and covers in place.
Do not modify equipment or add attachments that are
not approved by Erskine Attachments LLC.
Use adequate safety warning lights and devices as
required by local regulations. Obey all local laws and
regulations regarding machine operation on public
property.
Only use attachment with a tractor equipped with a
Roll Over Protection System (ROPS) and seatbelt.
Operation
Avoid loose fitting clothing. Clothing caught in moving
parts may lead to serious injury or death.
To protect the operator from hearing loss, ear
protection is required unless the tractor is equipped
with a noise reduction cab that meets OSHA 1910.95
standard.
Hydraulic connections may be hot after use. Use
gloves if connecting or disconnecting after use.
SAFETY
Operation
Check and be sure all operating controls are in
neutral before starting the engine.
Keep people away from tractor and attachment when
in use.
NEVER
operate near embankments or terrain that is
so steep that rollover could occur.
Always stay in the operator position with seatbelt
fastened when using the attachment.
Before leaving the operators position, disengage
PTO drive, stop engine, set park brake, and wait for
all motion to stop.
NEVER
place hands near attachment while
engine is running.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids Hazard
Escaping fluid under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Avoid the hazard by relieving the
pressure before disconnecting hydraulic
lines.
Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY
PARTS, to check for suspected leaks. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when servicing or performing maintenance on
hydraulic systems.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any
fluid injected into the skin must be surgically
removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Maintenance
NEVER
make adjustments, lubricate, clean, or
perform any service on the machine while it is in
operation.
Make sure the attachment is serviced on a daily
basis. Improper maintenance can cause serious
injury or death in addition to damage to the
attachment and/or your equipment.
