EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a grapple. However, every year accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling equipment.
SAFETY TRAINING Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our product. Unfortunately, our efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator or bystander. In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of this equipment.
PREPARATION continued.. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors and Skid Steers with or without grapples attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent, partial hearing loss. We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the operator’s position exceeds 80 db.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY continued... Never permit riders on the tractor or skid-steer loader, in the bucket or attachment, or in the operator's compartment unless the compartment is designed to accommodate a second rider. Always keep bystanders a safe distance away from the work area. Establish a routine maintenance and inspection program in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
TRANSPORT SAFETY Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of machinery on public roads. The use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some localities prohibit their use. Local laws should be checked for all lighting and marking requirements.
WARNING Never stand between skid steer and grapple while attaching. ATTACHING TO SKID STEER 1. Before you begin changing your skid steer attachments, please ensure you are in a safe, flat area with sufficient room to maneuver. 2.
