SAFETY SUMMARY
Under no circumstances should any
modifi cations be made to LaBounty equipment
without factory authorization.
ALWAYS lower the boom to the ground before
leaving the cab. If it is necessary to work on an
attachment off the ground, securely support the
machine and attachment. DO NOT support the
machine on cinder blocks, hollow tiles, or props
that may crumble under continuous load. DO
NOT rely on a cylinder to hold the attachment
in the air. DO NOT work under a machine that is
supported only by a jack.
DO NOT let hot hydraulic oil get in contact
with the skin as it could cause severe burns.
Wear adequate protective clothing and safety
equipment. DO NOT tamper with any hydraulic
line or component while it is pressurized.
Escaping fl uid under pressure can penetrate the
skin, causing serious injury. Relieve pressure
before unhooking hydraulic or other lines.
Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
Keep hands and body away from pinholes and
nozzles which eject fl uids under high pressure. Use
a piece of cardboard to search for leaks. If ANY fl uid
is injected into the skin, seek immediate medical
assistance.

DO NOT weld on any structural member
unless specifi cally authorized by LaBounty. Any
unauthorized welding or welding procedures
will void the warranty, and may cause structural
failure or result in personal injury.
ALWAYS wear close-fi tting clothing and safety
equipment appropriate to the job. Safety
equipment should be worn at all times
when viewing, operating, or maintaining the
attachment to prevent injury. Safety equipment
includes eye protection, hard hat, steel toe shoes,
gloves, and hearing protection.
Keep clear of all potential pinch points, including
the moving upper jaw, cylinder connections,
bucket linkages or other moving parts.
Before operating the attachment, read and
observe all safety instructions in the Operation
and Maintenance sections of this manual. If
you are unfamiliar with any operation or
maintenance procedure, seek instruction before
proceeding.
