▶
▶ Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to danger of rolling the tractor over.
▶ Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to danger of upending the tractor.

▶ Use only Factory bale probe or bale retaining devise handler attachment when handling round bales.
▶ Do not handle large square bales without a retaining device handler attachment.
▶ Do not use buckets, forks ,or other attachments without bale retaining devices.
▶ Do not use loader for handling large, heavy objects such as logs, tanks, etc.
If you must handle large heavy objects, protect yourself by never lifting load higher than necessary to
clear the ground.
If you must handle large heavy objects, protect yousrelf by adding rear ballast to the tractor to
compensate for weight of load.
If you must handle large heavy objects, protect yourself by never lifting large heavy objects that may
roll or fall on the operator.
Never lift any load from any point of the loader with a chain, rope or cable unless loader is equipped
with a Factory approved attachment that was designed and built for this type of lifting. Always follow
lifting instructions included with these attachments.

Never use loader for handling large heavy objects, such as large round or rectangular bales, logs, and
oil drums unless loader is equipped with attachment that is designed to handle such objects.
Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to danger of the object rolling or sliding
down the loader boom onto the operator.
If you must handle large heavy objects, protect yourself by using caution, moving slowly, and avoiding
bumps and rough ground.

▶ Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation.
▶ Shift down before you start up or down a hill with a heavy load. Avoid "free wheeling".
▶ Use extreme caution when operating on a slope.
▶ Always operate up and down the slope, never across the slope.

▶ To prevent personal injury, relieve all pressure before disconnecting fluid lines.
▶
▶ Be sure to purge all the air from the hydraulic system before attempting to raise or lower this machine.
Do not tamper with the relief valve setting. This will void warranty and could cause damage to loader
and/or tractor.
Pouring hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious
personal injury. Do not use HANDS to search for suspected leaks. If injured by escaping fluid, obtain
medical treatment immediately.
Visuslly check for hydraulic leaks and broken, missing or malfunctioning parts. Never use your hand to
check for suspected leaks under pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or wood for this purpose.
Escaping hydraulic fluid or diesel fuel leaking under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the
skin and cause serious infection or other personal injury. If injured by leaking fluid, seek medical
attention immediately.
Before applying hydraulic pressure, make sure all hydraulic connections are tight and components are
in good condition.
Avoid contact with overhead wires, power lines,and obstacles when loader bucket or attachment is
raised.
Contact with overhead power lines can cause severe electrical burns or death from electrocution. Make
sure there is enough clearance between raised equipment and overhead power lines.
