IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
TAKE NOTE! This symbol is used to call
attention to safety precautions that
should be followed by the operator to
avoid accidents. When you see this
symbol, carefully read the message that
follows and heed its advice. Failure to
comply with safety precautions could
result in serious bodil
y
in
j
ur
y
or death.
Note the use of the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION with the safety
messages. The appropriate signal word for each has been selected using the following
guidelines:
DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme
situations typically for machine components, which, for functional purposes,
cannot be guarded.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards
are removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe
practices.
THE TRACTOR
1. Read the tractor operator’s manual to learn how to operate your tractor safely.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death and equipment damage.
2. It is recommended that tractor be equipped with rollover protective system (ROPS)
and a seat belt be used for all loader operations.
3. Add wheel ballast or rear weight for stability.
4. Move wheels to the tractor manufacturer’s widest recommended settings to
increase stability.
5. For better stability, use tractor with wide front axle rather than tricycle front wheels.
6. Move and turn the tractor at low speeds.
7. Stop tractor engine, place transmission in park (or neutral), engage parking brake,
lower loader arms to ground, cycle all hydraulic controls to relive pressure, allow
machine moving parts to stop, remove ignition key to prevent unauthorized person
from starting engine before dismounting tractor or servicing, repairing, or making
adjustments to the equipment.
8. Wear personal protective equipment (PPE), such as, but not limited to, protection
for eyes, ears, lungs, head, hands, and feet when operating, servicing, or repairing
Page 7

Revision B, January 1, 2002
VH-900 SERIES FRONT END LOADER
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)
equipment. Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry that may catch and entangle on
equipment moving parts.
THE LOADER
1. Read the loader operator’s manual to learn how to operate your loader safely.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death and equipment damage.
2. Become familiar with all the machine’s controls and all the caution, warning, and
danger decals affixed to the machine before attempting to start or operate.
3. Improper use of a loader can cause serious injury or death.
4. Do not lift or carry anybody on the loader or in the bucket or attachment.
5. Never allow anyone to get under the loader bucket or reach through the booms
when the bucket is raised.
6. Do not walk or work under a raised loader bucket or attachment unless it is
securely blocked or held in position.
7. Avoid overhead wired and obstacles when loader is raised. Contacting electrical
lines can cause electrocution.
8. Make sure all parked loaders on stands are on a hard, level surface.
9. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands and wear eye protection when
searching for hydraulic leaks. Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate
skin. If oil is injected into skin, it must be surgically removed within a few hours by
a doctor or gangrene may result.
10. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, relieve all hydraulic pressure.
11. Do not tamper with the relief valve setting. The relief valve is pre-set at the factory.
Changing the setting can cause overloading the loader and tractor and serious
operator injury may result.
12. Always wear safety goggles when repairing or servicing machine.
13. When servicing or replacing pins in cylinder ends, buckets, etc., a ways use a
brass drift and hammer. Failure to do so could result in injury from flying
fragments.
14. Replace damaged or illegible safety decals. See decal page for required decals.
15. Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to modify or alter the loader, any of its
components, or any loader function without first consulting your local dealer.
OPERATING THE LOADER
1. It is the loader owner’s responsibility to instruct and have a person read the
operator’s manual, safety decals, and become familiar with machine controls
before allowing them to operate loader.
2. Do not allow children to operate the loader.
3. Before starting or operating the equipment, make a walk through inspection and
check for loose ore damaged components. Correct any deficiency before starting.
4. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, particularly small children. The
operator should cease operation whenever anyone comes within the operating
area.
5. Operate the loader from the operator’s seat only.
Page 8

Revision B, January 1, 2002
VH-900 SERIES FRONT END LOADER
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)
6. Exercise caution when operating the loader with a raised loaded bucket or fork.
7. Avoid loose fill, rocks, and holes. They can be dangerous for loader operation or
movement.
8. Be extra careful when working on inclines.
9. Allow for the loader length when making turns.
10. Stop the loader arms gradually when lowering or lifting.
11. Use caution when handling loose or shiftable loads.
12. Carry loader arms at a low position during transport.
13. Lower loader arms, stop engine, and lock brakes before leaving the tractor seat.
14. Operate the loader controls only when properly seated at the controls.
15. Do not use loader for handling large, heavy objects such as logs, oil drums, etc.
16. Handling large, heavy objects is dangerous due to:
a. Possibility of rolling the tractor over.
b. Possibility of upending the tractor
c. Possibility of the object rolling or sliding down the loader arms onto the
operator.
17. Use large round hay bale handler attachment with bale retaining devices (grapples,
bale spears, clamps, etc.) to handle large round hay bales. Failure to use retaining
devices could allow round hay bales to roll or fall down loader boom arms onto the
operator causing serious injury or death and equipment damage.
SAFETY DECALS
1. Keep safety decals and signs clean and legible at all times.
2. Replace safety decals and signs that are missing or have become illegible.
3. Replace parts that displayed a safety sign should also display the current sign.
4. Safety decals or signs are available from your Distributor or Dealer Parts
Department or the factory.
How to install safety decals:
1. Be sure that the installation area is clean and dry.
2. Decide on the exact position before you remove the backing paper.
3. Remove the smallest portion of the split backing paper.
4. Align the decal over the specified area and carefully press the small portion with
the exposed sticky backing in place.
5. Slowly peel back the remaining paper and carefully smooth the remaining portion
of the decal in place.
6. Small air pockets can be pierced with a pin and smoothed out using the piece of
