SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
OPERATIONAL SAFETY
Be sure power unit is in good condition. Read all the safety precautions and make sure all operators are famil-
iar with the safety rules of operation.
Never leave the power unit and implement unattended while the implement is in the lifted position. Accidental
operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause sudden drop of unit with injury or death by crushing.
Keep all helpers and bystanders fifty feet (50’) from an operating power unit and attached equipment. Only
properly trained people should operate this machine. It is recommended the tractor be equipped with a
Rollover Protection System (ROPS) and a seat belt that is used. Always stop the tractor, or skid steer, set
brake, shut off the engine, remove the ignition key, and lower loader and attachment to the ground before dis-
mounting. Relieve all hydraulic pressure. Never leave equipment unattended with the engine running.
Please remember it is important that you read and heed the safety signs on the front loader attachment and
loader, and the safety rules set forth. Clean or replace all safety signs if they cannot be clearly read and under-
stood. They are there for your safety as well as the safety of others. The safe use of this machine is strictly
up to you, the operator.
The use of any loader attachment is NOT recommended on tractor with a tricycle wheel arrangement. Tricycle
type tractors are unstable for front loader use.
A heavy load can cause instability in driving a power unit. Make sure the front or rear of the power unit is
properly counter-balanced with weights. Always drive slowly – especially around turns. An unstable power unit
could steer badly and possibly tip over, causing injury or death.
Never allow children to play on or around power unit or implement. Children can slip or fall off the equipment
and be injured or killed. Inadvertent contact with controls can cause the implement to shift or fall crushing them-
selves or others.
Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement should occur during assembly,
installation, operation, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.
Start power unit only when properly seated in the operator’s seat. Starting a power unit in gear can result in
injury or death. Do not mount or dismount while the power unit is moving. Mount or dismount only when the
power unit and all moving parts are completely stopped.
Operate the power unit and/or implement controls only while properly seated in the operator’s seat with the
seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the power unit or implement may cause seri-
ous injury or death.
Do not allow others to ride on the power unit with an operator. Riders are subject to injury such as being struck
by foreign objects or being thrown off. Riders obstruct the operator’s view resulting in unsafe operation.
Never
allow anyone to ride on the implement!
Know your controls and how to stop the power unit and engine quickly in an emergency. READ THIS MANU-
AL AND THE ONE PROVIDED WITH YOUR TRACTOR AND LOADER, OR SKID STEER.
