Never let anyone operate this unit without reading the “Safety Precautions” and
“Operations” sections of this manual.
Always choose hard, level ground to park the tractor and loader on and set the brake
so the unit cannot roll.
WARNING!

WARNING
■
■
Rear ballast is required to ensure 25% of gross
vehicle weight is transferred to the rear axle.
Attachment and load must be included as weight.
Adequate rear weights are required to counter-
balance maximum loader capacity and safe
loader operation. Weight can be added as rear
tire liquid, rear wheel weights, rear axle weights
and/or three point hitch mounted ballast or
implement. Ballasting will vary with tractor and
loader attachment. Refer to the Tractor manual
for recommended ballasting.
WARNING
■
■
Do not operate this product until you have
positive indication that this adapter and imple-
ment is securely mounted to the loader. Failure to
install lock pins could result in injury or death.
■
■
Operate the equipment only when properly
seated at the operator's station. Any other
method could result in serious personal injury or
death.
■
■
Do not exceed the recommended lifting capac-
ity of loader or the prime mover.
■
■
Transport the implement at a slow speed and
with the loader at the lowest transport position to
avoid tipping or upsetting, which could result in
serious injury or death.
Operation
Cont’d
OPERATE LOADER SAFELY
• Be sure tractor is properly counter-balanced with
weights before attempting to lift any load.
• Start lifting slowing and smoothly. Lift speeds can
be slightly increased once the load has started
moving and appears to be stable.
• Allow for additional length of loader and attach-
ment on tractor while turning.
• Check visibility. If visibility is impaired, reduce
speed or consider other means of transport.
• Before exiting the prime mover, lower the attach-
ment to the ground, turn off the prime mover’s
engine, remove the key and apply the brakes.
DANGER
■
■
Beware of low electrical wires when loader is
raised. Serious injury or death can result if con-
tact is made.
Do not leave the operator’s seat if any part of
the tractor or implement contacts electric lines.
CAUTION
■
■
Beware of lift clearance when raising loader to
maximum height.
When stacking or loading vehicles, make sure
you are operating in an area AWAY FROM OVER-
HEAD WIRES.
■
■
Keep load centered on pallet fork and loader.
Unbalanced loads increase possibility of tipping
or roll-over.
■
■
Never stack loads on uneven ground. Loads
stacked on uneven ground can topple.
