Transporting
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Keep attachment, loader arms, and/or load away from
overhead electrical power lines. Place an orange warning
sign under overhead lines indicating type of danger above.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Follow all safety precautions when transporting a load. Not
using safe transporting methods can damage the equipment
and cause serious injury or death.
•
Select a safe ground speed that will allow adequate control
of steering and stopping. Never exceed 20 mph (32 km/h)
with attached equipment. Rough terrain requires a slower
speed.
•
Always transport loads as close to the ground as possible
without hitting objects. A load carried high could shift
causing the load to fall, tipping of the machine, and/or loss
of control.
•
Always transport over ramps and inclines with the heavy
end of the power machine on the “uphill” side. This may
require one to drive up or back down inclines.
•
Always travel straight up and straight down inclines. Never
make turns on the incline.
•
Transporting loads across inclines, over ramps, on bumpy,
soft, or slippery surfaces reduces machine stability and lift
capacity. Transporting and lifting loads under these
conditions is extremely dangerous. Follow all transport
instructions in your power machine Operator’s Manual.
•
When traveling on public roadways, travel in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass safely. Use accessory
lights, clean reflectors, and a slow moving vehicle sign that
is visible from the back to warn operators in other vehicles
of your presence. Always comply with all federal, state, and
local laws.
Combination Bucket Operation
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Keep bystanders at a safe distance when entering and
picking up a load. Objects can shift or be thrown suddenly
as the attachment makes contact with load causing serious
injury or death.
•
Enter pick-up zone carefully making sure no object will
come through or pass the attachment into the operator’s
space.
•
Read and understand all safety alerts under
“Operating
Safety”
on page 13.
Operating Tips
1. Go slowly when first learning how to operate the
bucket and loader.
2. Keep work area small and travel distance short to
make the job more efficient.
3. When setting up a work site, choose a site that is
level, clear of low hanging electrical lines, and free of
obstructions such as trees, fences, and buildings.
4. Reduce number of cycles by filling the bucket to rated
capacity.
5. Keep loaded bucket low to the ground when
transporting. Always drive up and down slopes with
load on the uphill side. This will require backing down
a slope to keep load on the uphill side.
6. To keep material from spilling over the back, tilt top of
bucket forward to maintain bucket levelness while
raising loader arms or traveling up a slope.
7. To keep material from spilling over the front, tilt top of
bucket back to maintain bucket levelness while
lowering loader arms or traveling down a slope.
8. Always use appropriate counter weight on the back of
the tractor or 3-point when doing loader work.
IMPORTANT: Do not ram bucket into a pile or hook
a chain to the bucket to secure a load. Doing so can
damage the bucket.
