DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death:
A crushing hazard exists when hooking-up and unhooking the
attachment. Do not allow anyone to stand between attachment
and power machine while approaching or backing away from
the attachment. Do not operate hydraulic controls while
someone is near the power machine and/or attachment.
!
WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
•
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.
•
Check Euro style hitch fit-up frequently to make sure it is
properly secured under the attachment's hooks and lock
pins are fully extended into the locking lugs. An improper
fit-up can result in the attachment coming loose and falling.
