SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
When maneuvering close to buildings or passing through narrow areas, be sure to allow sufficient clearance
for the power unit, loader, and load. Drive slowly.
Operate loader from operator’s seat only. Remain at controls until operating cycle is complete.
Use extreme care when working on inclines and hillsides.
Do not operate close to ditches, creeks or holes. Slow down when operating over rough ground.
Allow for additional length of loader and load on power unit while turning.
Keep load centered on Grapple Rake and loader. Unbalanced loads increase possibility of tipping or roll-over.
When handling brush or branches, be aware of branches that might contact power unit or operator.
When cleaning up old building sites, check for live utility lines. Always be sure electric, gas, and water lines
have been properly disconnected.
Check material to be handled, especially at old building sites or dumps. Be alert for any hazardous material
that could be released by Grapple Rake contact. If in doubt, check with professional waste haulers.
Do not lift or carry anyone on loader or in bucket or on attachment.
ALWAYS lower loader to the ground or block securely before performing any maintenance work.
Always keep power unit on solid footing when operating loader.
Observe Safety Recommendations in loader instruction manual.
Inspect the entire machine periodically as indicated in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Look for loose
fasteners, worn or broken parts, pinched hydraulic hoses, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have
cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining this machine in good working order.
