Important Safety Information
Listed below are common practices that may or may not be applicable to the products
described in this manual.

Safety at All Times
Careful operation is your best
assurance against an accident.
All operators, no matter how much
experience they may have, should
carefully read this manual and
other related manuals, or have the
manuals read to them, before
operating the power machine and
this attachment.
Thoroughly read and understand
the “Safety Label” section. Read
all instructions noted on them.
Do not operate the equipment
while under the influence of drugs
or alcohol as they impair the ability
to safely and properly operate the
equipment.
Operator should be familiar with all
functions of the tractor/skid steer
and attachment and be able to
handle emergencies quickly.
Make sure all guards and shields
appropriate for the operation are in
place and secured before
operating attachment.
Keep all bystanders away from
equipment and work area.
Start tractor/skid steer from the
driver’s seat with steering levers
and hydraulic controls in neutral.
Operate tractor/skid steer and
controls from the driver’s seat only.
Never dismount from a moving
tractor/skid steer or leave machine
unattended with engine running.
Do not allow anyone to stand
between tractor/skid steer and
attachment while hooking-up.
Keep hands, feet, and clothing
away from power-driven parts.
While transporting and operating
equipment, watch out for objects
overhead and along side such as
fences, trees, buildings, wires, etc.
Store attachment in an area where
children normally do not play.
When needed, secure attachment
against falling with support blocks.
Look for the Safety Alert Symbol
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a
potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra
safety precaution must be taken. When you see this
symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that
follows it. In addition to design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control, and accident prevention are
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and
proper training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance, and storage of equipment.
!
Be Aware of
Signal Words
A signal word designates a degree or
level of hazard seriousness. The
signal words are:
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if
not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if
not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if
not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.

DANGER

Safety Precautions for
Children
Tragedy can occur if the operator
is not alert to the presence of
children. Children generally are
attracted to attachments and their
work.
Never assume children will remain
where you last saw them.
Keep children out of the work area
and under the watchful eye of a
responsible adult.
Be alert and shut the attachment
and skid steer/track loader down if
children enter the work area.
Never carry children on the power
machine or attachment. There is
not a safe place for them to ride.
They may fall off and be run over
or interfere with the control of the
power machine.
Never allow children to operate the
power machine, even under adult
supervision.
Never allow children to play on the
power machine or attachment.
Use extra caution when backing
up. Before the power machine
starts to move, look down and
behind to make sure the area is
clear.
