When traveling on public roads, whether at night or
during the day, use accessory light and devices for
adequate warnings to operators of other vehicles.
Comply with all federal, state and local laws.
Check visibility. If visibility is impaired, reduce speed or
consider other means of transport.
Allow for additional length of loader on tractor while
turning. Carry load low.
Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting
from one area to another. When traveling on roadways,
transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles may
pass you safely.
When traveling over rough or hilly terrain or when
making turns, slow down and use extra care.
Read all the safety warnings in the front of this manu-
al and in the manual of tractor or skid steer unit.
TRANSPORTING
OWNER SERVICE
Check the pins at the ends of the loader arms. Make
sure they are locked in place with the linchpins.
Periodically check all bolts to make sure they are tight.
Check hydraulic hoses. Make sure they are not chafed
or pinched. Replace any damaged hose.
Check hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks. Repair any
leaks immediately. Never use your hand to check for a
hydraulic leak when system is under pressure.
Periodically lubricate the clamp arm pivot bushings.
Thoroughly clean the grease zerks before servicing.
Dirt mixed with lubricant will rapidly wear parts and
destroy bearings. Keep it clean.
At the end of the working season or when the Grapple
Rake will not be used for a long period, it is good practice
to clean off any dirt or grease that may have accumulated.
Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately. Do
not use attachment with any damaged parts.
It is recommended to store the grapple rake with the
clamps fully opened and then face down. This leaves the
grapple in a stable position with the rods of the hydraulic
cylinders retracted into the cylinders. See figure below.
STORAGE
POSITION
MAINTENANCE
Always stop the power unit, set brake, shut off
engine, remove key, and lower loader to ground
before attempting to service. Never leave equipment
unattended with engine running.
Do not work under a raised loader unless it is
securely blocked or held in position. Do not depend
on the hydraulic system to hold loader and attach-
ment in place.
STORAGE
If the above method is not satisfactory, you may
purchase the optional parking stand kit #811395. The
stands bolt on the back of the main frame. Be sure to
raise the stand legs and pin in the raised position before
using the grapple. (See page 20.) Always store the
grapple on a solid surface when using the parking
stands.
Always store in a safe place away from children or
livestock.
