Do not pivot or turn tractor with bucket raised,
except at a minimum speed. Always make

bucket is raided. Always lower bucket to the
ground and shut off before leaving tractor seat.
•
Do not walk under raised bucket.
•
Never operate loader while operator is not
seated in the driver’s seat on the tractor.

Keep tractor on solid ground. Loose fill, rocks
and holes can be dangerous for loader

Never operate a loader with frayed or damaged
hoses or leaking fittings.

tractor manufacturer. Maximize width
for high lift applications.

Do not raise bucket to extreme heights
while tractor is on an incline. Carry

illustration how load center moves out
when bucket is raised on a slope. Be
alert for terrain changes and adjust
bucket accordingly. Keep bucket low,
no more than one foot high, as long as
possible.
