SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Consult local utility companies to make certain there are no buried gas lines, electrical cables, etc., in the work
area before beginning operation.
Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on hillside, over rough ground and
when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners.
Inspect the entire machine periodically as indicated in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Look for loose
fasteners, worn or broken parts and/or shields. Make sure all pins have cotter pins and washers. Serious injury
may occur from not maintaining this machine in good working order.
Avoid sudden starts and stops while traveling up or downhill. Avoid parking on a slope.
Always drive down slopes; never across the face. Avoid operation on steep slopes. Slow down on sharp turns
and slopes to prevent tipping and/or loss of control. Avoid slopes when surface is wet, slippery grass or soil.
Be careful when changing directions on slopes. Do not start or stop suddenly on slopes.
Keep work area clear of all debris. Debris could damage the unit. Never assume an area is clear. ALWAYS
CHECK.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY (continued)
Before you operate the grader blade, check over all pins, bolts and connections to be sure all are securely in
place. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.
When maneuvering close to buildings or passing through narrow areas, be sure to allow sufficient clearance
for the skid steer and attachment. Drive slowly.
Keep alert and watch the rear as well as the front when working with the grader blade. Watch for traffic when
operating along streets or curbs.
Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all helpers and bystanders at a safe distance.
Make sure children are out of work area and under watchful care of a responsible adult.
Beware of low electrical wires if grader blade attachment is raised with skid steer loader. Serious injury or death
can result if contact is made. Beware of lift clearance when raising grader blade to maximum height.
