SAFETY
Operate the front loader arms gradually by "feathering"
the loader controls to prevent abrupt
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.
To avoid loss of control or overturning, do not turn or stop on sloping surfaces.
Do not operate the front loader near the edge of a ditch or an embankment. Slipping off the edge
could lead to severe personal injury and equipment damage.
When descending a slope, disengaging the clutch or shifting to neutral can cause loss of control
that may result in severe personal injury.
Never use individual brakes during front loader operation. Use of individual brakes during front
loader operation can cause abrupt movements of the tractor causing severe personal injury or
equipment damage.
Be sure to follow instructions below whenever applying the tractor differential lock during front
loader use.
- Do not apply the tractor differential lock while turning, use the differential lock only while driving
in a straight line.
- Never apply the tractor differential lock on paved surfaces.
TO avoid injury to yourself and others, before leaving the front loader unattended, ALWAYS:
- Park on level ground.
- Lower the front loader bucket flat to the ground.
- Disengage the front loader drive system.
- Lock the parking brake.
- Stop the engine.
- Remove the key.
If YOU find it necessary to park on a grade, be sure to lock the parking brake and securely block
the wheels.
