Startup Checklist
Hazard control and accident prevention are dependent
upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper
training involved in the operation, transport, storage, and
maintenance of the 4-in-1 Combination Bucket.
Therefore, it is absolutely essential that no one operates
the bucket unless they have read, fully understood, and
are totally familiar with the Operator’s Manual. Make sure
the operator has paid particular attention to:

General Inspection
Make the following inspections with bucket attached to a
tractor parked on a level surface.
1. Complete Operating Checklist provided above.
2. Inspect the attachment’s safety equipment to make
sure it is in good working condition and that all safety
alert decals are visible and legible. Replace all
missing and/or illegible safety alert decals. See
3. Inspect hitch hook-up to bucket. Make sure loader
hitch is properly positioned under the attachment’s
top angle bars, lock handles are locked down with
lock pins fully seated in their bottom slots, and
attachment is in good operating condition.
4. Consult your tractor Operator’s Manual to determine
if ballast is required. Add ballast if necessary.
5. Inspect condition of hydraulic hoses, fittings, and
valves before starting the tractor. Make sure hoses
are not twisted or frayed and will not get pinched,
kinked, or stretched.
6. Operate hydraulic controls to verify control
movements function properly and equipment
movements are correct. Make any necessary
changes to controls and hydraulic hook-ups before
putting equipment into service.

Operating Safety
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
The operator of this attachment must know how to control
the power machine with attachment and how to stop them
•
Keep attachment, loader arms, and/or load away from
overhead electrical power lines. Place an orange warning
sign under overhead lines indicating type of danger above.
•
Do not drive up to anyone or an animal in front of a fixed
object such as a wall or bench. Never assume that the power
•
Keep bystanders, pets, and livestock away from your work
area. Never allow anyone to go near or under the
attachment or its load. The attachment and/or load can fall.
•
Make sure all objects are contained and/or secured before
lifting. Do not lift a load that cannot be contained in the
attachment as the load can shift and fall.
•
Do not lift a load that cannot be contained in the
•
Keep load positioned forward enough to prevent accidental
spillage onto the operator and power machine.
•
Keep load slightly tilted back to secure its weight against
the vertical face of the attachment. Rotating front of
attachment too high can cause the load to shift and fall onto
the operator or others. Rotating front of attachment level or
lower can cause the load to fall forward.
•
Use a “spotter” when it is hard to see in the direction you
are traveling and when placing a load that obstructs your
vision. A person or animal could be nearby in a blind spot.
•
Be safe, lift only loads with the loader arms that can be kept
under control and contained. An uncontrolled load can
result in a serious injury or death.
•
Make sure the machine is stopped on solid, level ground
before raising load to dump. To maintain stability, raise
load only to the height necessary to complete the dump.
•
Never dump a load around gas lines, overhead power lines,
utilities, or other hazards that can cause serious injury or
death from electrocution, explosion, or fire.
•
Do not go near or under raised loader arms without first
securing loader arms in the raised position with an
•
Always secure equipment with solid, non-concrete supports
before working under it. Never go under equipment
supported by concrete blocks or hydraulics. Concrete can
break, hydraulic lines can burst, and/or hydraulic controls
can be actuated even when power to hydraulics is off.
