SAFETY RULES
A ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY 1s 1NvolLvED! A
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by a single careless act of an operator.
In ~ddition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident pre-
vention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, prudenceand propertraining ofperson-
nel involved in the operation, transport, mainte-
nance and storage of equipment.
It has been said ''The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator." We ask you to be
that kind of an operator.
The designed and tested safety of this equipment
depends on it being operated within the limitations as
explained in this manual.
TRAINING
■ Safety instructions are important!
Read this manual, the tractor manual and
all safety rules.
■ Know your controls and how to stop
engine andattachmentquicklyinan emer-
gency.
■ Operators must beinstructed in andbe
capable of the safeoperation of theequip-
ment, its attachmentsand all controls. Do
not allow anyone to operate this equip-
ment without proper instructions.
■ Keep handsand bodyawayfrom pres-
surized lines. Use paper or cardboard, not
body parts to check for leaks. Hydraulic
fluid (oil) under pressure will penetrate
skin causing serious injury.
■ Make sure that all operating and ser-
vice personnel know that in the event
hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it must be
surgically removed within a few hours by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury, or
gangrenemay result.
■ Do not allow children or untrained
persons to operate equipment.
PREPARATION
■ Alwayswear relatively tight andbelted
clothing to avoid entanglement in moving
parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work
shoes and protective equipment for eyes,
hands, hearing and head.

seraous mJury or death. I
■ Do not allow riders. Dr not lift or carry
anybody on the loader or in the bucket or
attachment.
■ Keep bystanders aw y from equip-
ment while it is in operatibn.
■ Never allow anyone tb get under the
loader bucket or reach ~hrough the lift
arms when the bucket is rcsised.
I
■ Do not walk or workl under a raised
loader or bucket or attachment.
I
■ Avoid overhead wire$ and obstacles
when the loader is rai~ed. Contacting
electric lines can cause electrocution.
■ Do not tamper with Ithe relief valve
setting. The relief valve is pre-set at the
factory. Changing the ~tting can cause
overloading of the loade~ and tractor and
serious operator injury may result.

OPERATION
PREPARING TRACTOR
Before operating the loader, for optimum stability,
additional weight should be added to the rear of the
tractor with rear wheel weights or liquid ballast. Refer
to your tractor operator's manual for weighting
information.
The tractor rear wheels should be moved to the
tractor manufacturer's widest recommended settings
to increase the stability of the tractor.
OPERATING LOADER
The loadershould be operated with thetractor engine
running at a safe RPM. Excessivespeedsare danger-
ous, and may cause bucket spillage and unnecessary
strain on the tractor and loader.
FILLING THE BUCKET
Approach and enter the pile with a level bucket. See
Figure 1.
Figure 1
Loaders with single handle controls, ease lever back
and toward you to lift and rollback the bucket. See
Figure 2.

ROLLBACK
Figure 2
The lift and rollbadk of the bucket will increase
efficiency because la level bucket throughout the
lifting cycle resists bucket lift and increases break-
away effort. See Figure 3.

Figure 3
NOTE: Do not be concerned if the bucket is not
completely filled during each pass. Maximum produc-
tivity is determined by the amqunt of material loaded
in a given period of time. Time is lost if two or more
attempts are made to fill the b'l,lcket on each pass.
LIFTING THE LOAD
When lifting the load, keep th~ bucket positioned to
avoid spillage. See Figure 4. I

CARRYING THE LOAD
Position the bucket just below [the level of the tractor
hood for maximum stability an~ visibility, whether the
bucket is loaded or empty. See Figure 5.

Use extreme care when operating the loader on a
slope, keep the bucket aslow as possible. This keeps
the bucket and tractor center of gravity low and will
provide maximum tractor stability. See Figure 6.
DO THIS
Figure 6
A CAUTION
■ Operating the loader on a hillside is
dangerous. Extreme care is recommended
to avoid overturn.
When transporting the load, keep the bucket as low
as possible to avoid tipping, in case a wheel drops in
a rut. See Figure 7.

RAISE
OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL
During hard surface operation,1 keep the bucket level
and putthe lift control in thefloat position to permitthe
bucket to float on the working surface. If hydraulic
down pressure is exerted on the bucket, it will wear
faster than normal. See Figure[ 10.

The float will also prevent tpe mixing of surface
material with stockpile material. The float position will

LOADING FROM A BA~K
Exercise caution when undercutting high banks. Dirt
slides can be dangerous. ijoad from as low as
possible for maximum effici~ncy. Loader lift and
break-away capacity diminis~ as loading height is
increased. 1
If the pile sides are too high and liable to cause
cave-in, use the loader to bre~k down the sides until
a slot can be cut over the topi See Figure 12.
,,,,...- 1 ,. ...

·Anothermethod for large dirt piles is to build a ramp
approach to the pile. See Figure 13.
Figure 13
It'simportant to keep the bucketlevel when approach-
ing a bankorpile. This will helpprevent gouging in the
work area. See Figure 14.
Figure 14
PEELING AND SCRAPING
Use a slight bucket angle, travel forward, and holdthe
lift control forward to startthecut. Make ashort, 5 inch
to 8 inch angle cut and break-out cleanly. See
Figure 15.
Figure 15
With the bucket level, start a cut at the notch
approximately 2 inches deep. Hold the depth by
feathering the bucket control to adjust the cutting lip
up or down. When the front tires enter the notch,
adjust the lift cylinder to maintain proper depth. See
Figure 16.

Figure 1~
Make additional passes until the desired depth is
reached. During each pass, .only use the bucket
control while at working depth~ This will allow you to
concentrate on controlling the bucket angle to
maintain a precise cut. See Figure 17.
