SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
OPERATIONAL SAFETY (continued)
When maneuvering close to buildings or passing through narrow areas, be sure to allow sufficient clearance
for the tractor, implement, and bale. Drive slowly.
Always load rear of tractor first and unload last when using a front loader.
Beware of lift clearance when raising loader or implement to maximum height.
Keep alert and watch the rear as well as the front when working with attached implements.
Stop loader gradually when lowering or lifting loads.
Operate hydraulic controls from operator’s seat only. Remain at controls until operating cycle is complete.
Allow for additional length of implement and bale on tractor while turning.
Never allow anyone to walk or work under a raised implement.
Be sure that people, livestock, or pets are not standing near the machine while operating.
Do not use implement for a work platform.
Do not lift or carry anyone on attachment.
ALWAYS lower implement to the ground or block securely before performing any maintenance work.
Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on hillside, over rough ground and
when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners.
Stay alert for holes, rocks and roots in the terrain and other hidden hazards. Keep away from drop-offs.
Reduce speed on slopes and sharp turns to minimize tipping or loss of control. Be careful when changing
directions on slopes. Do not start or stop suddenly on slopes. Avoid operation on steep slopes.
