DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Use a skid steer or tractor of adequate size. A light weight
machine can tip over causing serious injury or death when
loader arms are raised due to high center of gravity.
•
Some light weight skid steers and tractors will require rear
ballast for heavy loads to maintain control. Be sure to
consult your machine’s Operator’s Manual to determine
whether or not to add ballast.
Torque Requirements For Bolts
Refer to
“Torque Values Chart”
on page 20 to
