Page 6: Safe Operating Rules
SAFEN Front Loader Safety Operation of the Tractor and Front Loader requires special efforts on your part to ensure your safety and the safety of others. Know these requirements before you operate the Tractor or the Front Loader. SAFE OPERATING RULES Severe personal injury or equipment damage may result if the operation instructions on pages 5 and 6 are not followed. -
Page 7: Operation Safety
BEFORE STARTING The use of heavy equipment and/or pulling or lifting excessive loads may adversely affect vehicle stability and control. To avoid loss of control that can result in severe personal injury: Only use recommended tractor hitch attachment points. Limit loads to those within tractor and front loader limitations as stated in this manual and in the tractor owner’s manual. - Page 8 SAFETY Operate the front loader arms gradually by “feathering” movements that could cause damage to the front loader or tractor. Use added caution when working with shifting or loose loads in the front loader bucket. It could cause vehicle instability or fall out of the bucket and cause severe personal injury. Attempting to change gears while operating the front loader on a slope may adversely affect vehicle stability and control and severe personal injury could result Do not back down, or rapidly accelerate up a sloping surface.

Page 27: Operation
OPERATION Precautionary Notes Do not lower the edge of the bucket too low for loading. Keep the bottom of the bucket level with the ground when loading. Do not use bucket for pushing down material with bucket cylinders partially extended. Damage cylinders may result. - Page 28 OPERATION CONTROLLED RATE FUNCTIONS ‘By feathering (slightly moving) the control lever, precise operational speeds can be obtained. This action controls the position of the valve spools in the control valve and regulates flow of oil from/to cylinders. It is important to utilize this operational practice when lowerfng the main frame when the bucket is loaded with material.
- Page 29 LOADING Drive straight ahead into pile with bucket cutting edge level with the ground. In order to prevent possibility of damaging tractor or loader; Do not ram into pile at high speed. Do not attempt to turn tractor while loading. As bucket begins to fill with material, gradually roll the bucket back and raise the loader to increase “fill”...
- Page 30 OPERATION Transporting Material Transport material to “Unloading Point” with loader bucket as low as possible to prevent spillage maintain Tractor/Loader stability. During transport the loader should not be in a position that will impair operator’s vision. Safety: Avoid any overhead wires or obstacles when loader ls raised, to avoid damage or possible death by electrocution.
