Transport the machine load at the slowest speed possible and with the loader boom at the lowest
transport position to avoid tipping or upsetting, which may result in serious injury or death.
Be extremely careful when working on inclines or near loose fill, rocks, and holes as they can cause
tipping or upsetting which may result in serious injury or death.
Be certain to avoid overhead electrical wires when operating loader. Contact with power lines may
cause serious injury or death.
Avoid sudden stops when lowering or lifting the loader boom to prevent loss of control over the
machine and/or load, which may result in serious injury or death.
Use maximum ballast and the widest recommended wheel setting on your tractor when handling
large shiftable loads.
Never attempt to ram with the bucket at high speed or full tractor power. Sudden impact may result
in structural failure and possible serious injury or death.
Never adjust or perform maintenance on the loader or tractor with the unit in motion, or without
power source locked out.
Never get under bucket or lift arms or reach through the lift arms or bucket linkage when the loader
is in operation. Inadvertent movement may cause serious injury or death.
FOLLOWING OPERATION:
Whenever the machine is not in operation, lower the loader boom and set the tractor brakes,
disengage drive, shut the engine off, and remove the ignition key before dismounting the tractor.
If loader is to be disengaged from tractor, be sure the loader is securely supported on a hard, level
surface and the stand is securely engaged. Be certain all connections between tractor and loader are
free before disengaging.
TRANSPORTING:
Use safety lights and SMV emblem in addition to whatever local codes require when equipment is
being transported on the road or highway. Check with proper authorities for legal limitations.
Transport all loads at a slow and safe speed.
Carry the load as low as possible and maintain adequate visibility and good round clearance at all
times.
