This manual must be provided to all persons concerned who will be involved with the setting up,
operation, maintenance and use of the tractor and transport box. It must be available at all times.
If important safety instructions are not complied with, it can lead to the risk of injury to you and
others as well as damage to property and the environment.
NON COMPLIANCE WITH SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAN LEAD TO WARRANTY CLAIMS BECOMING
INVALID.

Further Safety
Any warning signs/instructions on the machine provide important information and must be
observed.
Ensure that you are familiar with the equipment, controls and functions before starting work.
Check around the machine for any noticeable damage, or missing parts before starting work.
It is advisable that the operator wears close fitting clothing to avoid the risk of snagging and
trapping.
Ensure that you watch out for wandering individuals (particularly children!)
Always match your speed to the conditions and legal speed limits. Observe and respect traffic
regulations when using public roads.
Remember to take into account the size of any attachments to the tractor and be aware of the
sideways forces acting on the machine when turning and negotiating corners. Always ensure you
have adequate all-round visibility.
The driving characteristics of the forklift/loader/tractor are influenced and altered by the
attachment of mounted machines and it is important to ensure adequate steering and braking ability
as required.
Unit Weight –Excludes additional concrete
•8RX Transport Box 265kg
•Bespoke sizes = Please refer to individual serial plate for details
Please note dimensions and weights may be subject to change without prior notification.
RISKS OF OVERLOADING
It is your responsibility to check the maximum load capacity of your tractor chassis/front linkage,
before ordering your transport to ensure that you do not exceed the recommendations advised by
the tractor/front linkage manufacturer.
Agriweld accepts no responsibility for damage or injury occurred by attaching a transport box that
exceeds the maximum capacity advised by the tractor/front linkage manufacturer.
It is important to ensure any additional weight imposed when carrying tools/spares stored within
the transport box is also accounted for and the additional weight does not exceed the overall
maximum capacity of the tractor’s linkage/chassis.
IMPORTANT: The max capacity of any ancillary options (such as front hooks) must also be
accounted for. Any additional load imposed must also be included within the overall max weight that
the transport box imposes on the tractor chassis.

PRE-USE CHECKS & STORAGE
Before operational use, it is important to inspect the tractor and attachment with the recommended
pre-use checks to prevent damage or danger.
•Check that the tractor is in full working order.
•Check all mounting/securing pins are present and do not appear to be worn or missing.
Replace as required.
•Check any lights on the attachment are in full working order.
•Physically check all nuts and bolts or other fixings are present and tight. Do not use if any are
missing or broken.
•Visually check welds for cracks - this can compromise the strength and operational use of
the product and may pose a health and safety risk.
•If relevant, check round all hydraulic hose and connections for leaks and damaged hydraulic
pipe. Replace as required. Do not attempt to repair hydraulic hose.
•Check for any potential damage to the serial plate as this helps to identify the product, its
origin of manufacture and will be required to order spare parts if needed.
•Check all ancillary parts are present, in good condition and that none are defective or
missing.
•When products are to be stored away when not in use, correct storage methods are
important in protecting the paintwork. The product should be cleaned down thoroughly and
stored inside where possible, always detach any other attachments from the Agriweld
product when you have finished using them.
•Always store your product in an area free from obstruction so not to cause hazard to others
or damage to it.
•Always follow and record a regular greasing /lubrication routine. Essential greasing points
are marked and easy to see on the product.

Never work or stand under suspended loads!
The securing of loads and the instruction of crane operators should only be entrusted to experienced
persons. A signaller giving instructions must be within sight of the crane operator or must be
provided with a radio link.
For carrying out any overhead work, if applicable, always use specially designed facilities or safe
ladders/ platforms. Never climb on the attachment! Wear a safety harness when carrying out

flashing pattern.
2. Connect the BROWN wire to Live (+POSITIVE) on the battery.
3. Connect the BLACK wire to Earth (-NEGATIVE) on the battery.
4. Touch the GREY wire once to Earth (-NEGATIVE) which will produce the next pattern in the
sequence.
5. Keep touching the GREY wire in this way until the desired pattern is achieved.
6. When happy you can fit your 12-24V plug using only the BROWN LIVE (+POSITIVE) wire and
BLACK Earth (-NEGATIVE) wire.
7. Cut excess GREY and YELLOW/GREEN wires down to within the sheath to prevent further
contact.
