Anti-Slip Surfaces (Quick Attach Hitch Only)
Figure 3-1
•
Refer to Figure 3-1:
Use steps, grab-handles, and anti-
slip surfaces on the power machine and attachment to get on
and off the power machine. Using unapproved stepping
surfaces and/or handholds can result in a falling hazard.
•
All guards and shields must be installed and in good
working condition while operating the attachment.
•
Avoid hitting solid objects with this attachment. Solid
objects can damage equipment and throw operator forward
causing loss of control, bodily injury, or death. Always wear
the seat belt.
•
Do not use attachment as a lifting device for people or as a
work platform. It is not properly designed or guarded for
this use.
•
Do not use attachment for pulling objects out of the ground,
for prying other objects, or for pushing and towing other
equipment.
•
Do not use attachment to lift the front or back of the power
machine off the ground. Doing so can damage the
attachment, power machine, and/or cause serious injury or
death.
•
Only use the Silage Defacer to deface silage and similar
feeds. Using the attachment in a manner other than its
designed purpose will result in damage to the unit as well as
unforeseen objects being thrown from the rotor.
•
Make sure controls are all in neutral position or park before
starting the power machine.
•
Never adjust skid steer relief valve for a pressure rating
higher than what is recommended by the skid steer
manufacturer.
•
Make sure hydraulic hoses are properly routed without
twists to prevent becoming stretched, pinched, or kinked. A
damaged hydraulic hose can burst and leak hydraulic fluid.
•
Hydraulic fluid and components that the fluid flows through
such as couplers, hoses, hydraulic lines, fittings and motor
become hot from use. Be careful when connecting and
disconnecting couplers. It is best to allow hydraulic fluid
and hydraulic components to cool before touching them.

!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Always exercise safety, courtesy, and common sense. Be
aware of pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Check blind spots
before moving equipment.
•
Always transport with attachment carried low to protect
against rollover, hitting overhead objects, power lines, and
loss of control.
•
When transporting a skid steer or track loader on a trailer,
use towing vehicle and trailer of adequate size and capacity.
Always drive up a ramp with heavy end uphill. Engage the
power machine’s park brake and remove ignition switch key
once it is loaded. Secure power machine and attachment
using tie downs and chains.
