WARNING
!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Keep load centered, even when stopped. This will optimize
load stability and protect against load shifting.
• Allow only persons to operate this attachment who have
fully read and comprehended this manual, who are properly
trained to operate the attachment safely, and who are age 16
or older. Serious injury or death can result from the failure
to read, understand, and follow instructions provided in this
manual.
• Never carry riders on the attachment or power machine.
Riders can obstruct the operator’s view, interfere with
control of the equipment, be pinched by moving
components, become entangled in rotating components, be
struck by objects, be thrown or fall from the equipment, etc.
•
Consult your power machine’s manual for operating
capacity, lifting capacity, and operating specifications.
Exceeding rated capacities and specifications can result in
a roll-over or other serious hazard.
•
Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin
and/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective gloves
and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than
hands when searching for leaks. A doctor familiar with this
type of injury must treat the injury within a few hours or
gangrene may result. DO NOT DELAY.
• Operate only power machines equipped with a certified
Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt. Keep
folding ROPS in the “locked up” position when
appropriate. If ROPS is in the locked up position, fasten seat
belt snugly and securely to help protect against serious
injury or death from falling and machine overturn.
• Check hitch fit-up frequently. An improper fit-up can cause
the attachment to come loose from the loader hitch plate
and fall.
•
Follow recommendations in the power machine Operator’s
Manual when parking or dismounting the power machine.
•
Always lower grapple to the ground and fully close upper
jaw before dismounting to service the grapple or to park
with grapple attached. Working around a grapple with
raised upper jaw or getting on and off the power machine
with loader arms not fully down can cause in a crushing
hazard due to accidental movement of control levers or loss
of hydraulic pressure.
• Lightweight power machines may need weight added to the
rear to maintain steering control and prevent forward
tipping or side tipping caused by a heavy front load. Consult
your power machine Operator’s Manual to determine
proper weight requirements and maximum weight
limitations.
• Use a power machine of adequate size for the load being
carried. An undersized machine can roll over when raising
the loader arms due to high center of gravity.
•
Do not lift loads that exceed rated lift capacity of
attachment.
• Do not chain or strap loads to the loader arms, hitch, or
attachment. Hitting solid objects with a load fastened to the
attachment or machine can cause the operator to lose
control.
• Do not use attachment as a lifting device for people or as a
work platform. It is not properly designed or guarded for
this use.
•
Do not use attachment to lift the front or back of the power
machine off the ground. Doing so can damage the
attachment, power machine, and/or cause serious injury or
death.
•
Do not use attachment to pull and/or pry fence posts,
stumps, roots, rocks, or other objects out of the ground. It is
not properly designed or guarded for this use.
• Do not use attachment to lift, carry, push or tow other
equipment and objects. It is not properly designed or
guarded for this use.
•
Do not force solid objects in between teeth while closing
upper jaw against lower jaw.
•
Do not alter attachment or replace parts on the attachment
with other brands. Other brands may not fit properly or
meet OEM specifications. They can weaken the integrity
and impair the safety, function, performance, and life of the
attachment. Replace parts only with genuine OEM parts.
• Store attachment with hydraulic cylinders fully retracted,
upper claw fully open, and upper and lower teeth pointing
down resting on the ground. The attachment can tip-over if
stored in the upright position.
• Wear appropriate personal protective gear, including eye
protection when appropriate, when operating a power
machine without an enclosure or protective shield. Dust and
debris can get into the eyes.
