Your driving vision may be reduced or impaired by the tractor, cab, or implement. Before
driving on public roadways identify any limited vision areas, and make adjustments to your
operating position, mirrors, and the implement transport position so that you can clearly see
the area where you will be traveling, and any traffic that may approach you. Failure to
maintain adequate vision of the public roadway and traffic can result in serious injury or even
death.
Make sure the hydraulic quick disconnects are fully seated into the connections. Do not use
the loader if the hydraulic connection is leaking. Leaking oil could allow the loader to fall
resulting in a serious crushing injury.
If the loader valve controls fail to functions properly discontinue use of the tractor and loader
until the controls are properly repaired. Sudden or unexpected movement or dropping of the
loader and attachment could result in serious injury.
Make sure all air is purged from the hydraulic system before using the loader. Air in the
system can cause the loader to respond sluggishly or with unexpected movement. The air
can be purged from the cylinder lines by fully cycling the cylinders several times from the fully
closed to fully open position. Sudden or unexpected movement or dropping of the loader and
attachment could result in serious injury.
CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING IMPLEMENT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS AND PRACTICES
Do not stand or allow bystander or coworkers between the loader and the
tractor while installing or disconnecting the loader from the tractor. Keep
hands and body clear of the loader and the loader mounts. Serious injury
or death can result from a person being crushed between the tractor and
loader.
Never allow anyone to get under the loader or attachment or to reach
through the loader lift arms when raised. Serious injury could result from
crushing or pinching by the loader or attachment.
Make sure the loader is properly attached to the tractor and the retaining pins securely lock
the loader into position. Improper mounting of the loader onto the tractor can result in the
loader falling causing serious injury.
Make sure all tractor and loader guards are in place and properly functioning. Do not use an
attachment if the roll back guards are damaged or missing. The roll back guards prevents
items carried in the attachment from rolling back onto the operator causing serious injury. For
added safety when lifting loads above the height of the operator, install a certified Falling
Object Protective Structure.
