WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Do not abuse equipment. Incorrect use of the attachment
can damage equipment structurally and cause serious
injury or death.
•
Never carry riders on the attachment or power machine.
Riders can obstruct the operator’s view, interfere with
controls, be pinched by moving components, become
entangled in rotating components, struck by objects, thrown
about, fall off and be run over, etc.
•
Do not alter attachment or replace parts on the attachment
with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or
meet OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
specifications. They can weaken the integrity and impair the
safety, function, performance, and life of the attachment.
Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.
•
Use a power machine of adequate size for the load being
carried. An undersized machine can roll over when raising
the loader arms due to high center of gravity.
•
Do not chain or strap loads to the loader arms, hitch, or
attachment. Hitting solid objects with a load fastened to the
attachment or machine can cause frame damage and/or
tipping resulting in the loss of operator control.
•
Do not use this attachment to lift, carry, push or tow other
equipment or objects. It is not properly designed or guarded
for this use.
•
Do not use this attachment for pulling objects out of the
ground, for prying other objects, or for pushing and towing
other equipment.
•
Do not use this 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.
•
Never make contact with underground utilities such as
electrical power lines, gas lines, phone lines, etc. They can
cause serious injury or death from electrocution, explosion,
or fire. Always call 811 (USA) before digging so that they
can mark the location of underground services in the area.
For contact information, see Dig Safe in the “Important
Safety Information” starting on page 1.
•
Allow only persons to operate this equipment who have
fully read and comprehended this manual, and who have
been properly trained in the safe operation of this
attachment. Serious injury or death can result from the
inability to read, understand, and follow instructions
provided in this manual.
•
Operate only power machines equipped with a certified
Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt. Keep
folding ROPS in the “locked up” position when
appropriate. If ROPS is in the locked up position, fasten seat
belt snugly and securely to help protect against serious
injury or death from falling and machine overturn.
•
Lightweight power machines may need weight added to the
rear to maintain steering control and prevent forward and/
or side tipping. Consult your power machine Operator’s
Manual to determine proper weight requirements and
maximum limitations.
•
Keep load centered, even when stopped. This will optimize
load stability and protect against load shifting.
•
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure will penetrate the skin
or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves and
safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than
hands when searching for leaks. If an accident occurs, seek
immediate emergency medical care or gangrene may result.
DO NOT DELAY.
•
Make sure safety labels are installed in their proper
location and are in good condition before operating the
attachment. Read and obey all instructions on the labels.
•
Keep body, body extremities, loose clothing, pull strings,
etc. away from pinch points such as rotating, extending,
and/or retracting components. Secure pinch point areas to
ensure they will not move before working on or near them.
•
Always lower the attachment to ground level and fully close
the jaw before dismounting the power machine.
•
Follow recommendations in the power machine Operator’s
Manual when parking or dismounting the power machine.
•
Wear appropriate personal protective gear. Include eye
protection when appropriate and when operating a power
machine without an enclosure or protective shield. Dust and
debris can get into the eyes.
•
Keep bystanders away while operating the attachment. A
person can become pinched or crushed as the attachment is
opened, closed, rotated, raised, or lowered.
•
Avoid exposure to dust containing crystalline silica
particles. This dust can cause serious injury to the lungs
(silicosis). Because crystalline silica is a basic component
of sand and granite, many activities at construction sites
produce dust containing crystalline silica. Trenching,
sawing, and boring of material containing crystalline silica
can produce dust containing crystalline silica.
•
Check hitch fit-up frequently. An improper fit-up can cause
the attachment to come loose from the loader hitch plate
and fall.
•
Do not use this attachment as a lifting device for people or
as a work platform. It is not properly designed or guarded
for this use.
