Transport Safety
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.
•
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.
•
Keep load centered, even when stopped. This will optimize
load stability and protect against load shifting.
•
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.
•
Keep bystanders away while operating the attachment. A
person can become pinched or crushed as the attachment is
opened, closed, rotated, raised, or lowered.
•
Read and understand all safety alerts under
“Operating
Safety”
on page 16.
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. Before and while backing-up, make sure visibility to
the rear is appropriate and the back-up area is clear
of pedestrians, animals, obstructions, drop-offs, etc.
5. Reduce number of cycles by filling the bucket to rated
capacity.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
Digging With The Bucket
The bucket can be used for digging in the ground or into
piles of dirt, sand, and other similar materials.
1. Make sure load does not exceed rated lift capacity of
the tractor and loader.
2. Center tractor on the material to be picked up.
3. Do not ram bucket into the ground or pile. Make a
complete stop in front of the material to position
bucket at the proper height and angle for digging.
If digging into the ground:
a. Lower loader arms until bucket is on the ground.
b. Tilt front of bucket down until cutting edge is on the
ground.
c. Start driving forward slowly while continuing to tilt
the cutting edge down until bucket starts to dig.
d. Once the bucket starts digging, the front cutting
edge can be tilted up slightly to increase tractor
traction and achieve even digging depth.
e. When digging hard ground, slowly raise and lower
the cutting edge while slowly traveling forward.
IMPORTANT: Do not ram bucket into a pile or chain
a load to the bucket. This can damage the bucket.
