SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Avoid uneven and rough terrain. DO NOT operate near drop off, ditches, or embankments. Unit can suddenly
turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in.
Take all possible precautions when leaving unit unattended: Disengage hydraulic power, set parking brake,
stop engine and remove key from ignition. Park in level area.
Grader blade operating power is supplied from skid steer hydraulic system. Refer to your skid steer manual for
hydraulic engagement and disengagement instructions. Know how to stop skid steer and grader controls
quickly in case of an emergency.
Grader blade should be on the ground before engaging hydraulic power and be sure that no one is near the
machine. When engaging hydraulic system, the RPM should always be low.
Be certain the skid steer is in neutral or park position before starting engine.
Do not leave the skid steer or the attachment unattended with the engine running.
The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards which cannot be protected against by mechanical

STARTING AND STOPPING SAFETY
OPERATIONAL SAFETY
Do not walk or work under a raised skid steer attachment unless it is securely blocked or held in position. Do
not depend on the hydraulic system to hold the skid steer attachment in place.
A heavy load can cause instability of the skid steer. Use extreme care during travel. Slow down on turns and
watch out for bumps. The skid steer may need additional counter-weights to counter-balance the weight of the
grader blade attachment.
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination while operating this
equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while taking prescription medications.
Never permit any person other than the operator to ride or board the skid steer or grader blade attachment at
any time. ALLOW NO RIDERS!
