Transport Safety
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
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.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Follow all safety precautions when transporting a load. Not
using safe transporting methods can damage the equipment
and cause serious injury or death.
•
Always transport loads as close to the ground as possible
without hitting objects. A load carried high could shift
causing the load to fall, tipping of the machine, and/or loss
of control.
•
Always transport a load low to the ground with attachment
tilted fully back. Never transport a load with hitch plate
tilted forward.
•
Always travel straight up and straight down inclines. Never
make turns on the incline.
•
Transporting loads across inclines, over ramps, on bumpy,
soft, or slippery surfaces reduces machine stability and lift
capacity. Transporting and lifting loads under these
conditions is extremely dangerous. Follow all transport
instructions in your power machine Operator’s Manual.
•
When traveling on public roadways, travel in such a way
that faster moving vehicles may pass safely. Use accessory
lights, clean reflectors, and a slow moving vehicle sign that
is visible from the back to warn operators in other vehicles
of your presence. Always comply with all federal, state, and
local laws.
Grapple Bucket Operation
Picking Up A Load
DANGER
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
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.
WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
Keep bystanders at a safe distance when entering and
picking up a load. Objects can shift or be thrown suddenly
as the attachment makes contact with load causing serious
injury or death.
•
Enter pick-up zone carefully making sure no object will
come through or pass the attachment into the operator’s
space.
1. Be sure to read and understand all safety alerts
under “Operating Safety” on page 16.
2. Make sure the load does not exceed the rated lift
capacity of the tractor loader lifting the load.
3. Check for overhead obstructions.
4. Center bucket on the load to be picked up.
5. Make a complete stop in front of the load and position
the bucket at the proper height to enter the load.
6. Fully open grapple tines and slowly drive into the
load. Do not ram bucket into the load.
7. Close grapple tines to secure the load.
8. Lift load a few inches and tilt it back slightly.
9. Make sure you have good control of the load. If the
load is not secure, release and recapture the load in
a more secure location.
10. Back load out slowly making sure the load clears all
other obstacles.
11. The load will not always be secured properly in the
bucket when pulled free from a pile. Before traveling
with a loose load, lower the load to the ground,
release it, and re-capture it to make it more secure.
12. Position the load at a safe, low traveling height before
transferring it to the unloading site.
Traveling With A Load
1. Be sure to read and understand all safety alerts
under
“Transport Safety”
on page 18.
2. Pedestrians always have the right-of-way.
3. Keep load tilted back. Do not travel with hitch plate
tilted forward.
4. When possible, travel with bucket and load kept low
to the ground.
5. Continually scan all sides for pedestrians, other
traffic, and obstacles.
6. If the load is large and blocks your view, travel in
reverse.
7. Always drive at a safe speed and slow down when
going around corners. Avoid sudden braking.
8. Leave enough clearance when turning so the bucket
and load does not contact obstacles such as
vehicles, buildings, trees, or fences.
9. When traveling over a ramp or incline, keep load on
the “uphill” side of the tractor.
IMPORTANT:
Do not ram attachment into a pile or
hook a chain to the attachment to secure a load.
Doing so can damage the attachment.
IMPORTANT:
Close upper jaw with care when lifting
fragile or hollow objects such as a crate. This will
help protect the object from being crushed.
