6.5 Usage
Before using the attachment, the operator must
have a complete understanding of how to operate
the machine including all controls, and how to use
the attachment.
The operator should read and understand the Safety
and Operation Sections of the machine operator’s
manual. It is important to note that these manuals
mustbereadandexplainedtoanyoperatorwho
cannot read. It is crucial to never allow anyone to
operate the machine or use the attachment without
complete operating instructions.
To ensure safety to the operator, bystanders, and
equipment, the operator must become familiar
with the surrounding work area and any obstacles
and hazards contained within before starting any
operation. Special attention should be paid to foreign
debris, rough terrain, steep slopes, bystanders, or
animals in the area.
If the operator is not already familiar with the
process, it is recommended to practice lifting,
lowering, maneuvering, and placing a load on a level
siteuntilthecondenceandskillneededtosafely
move loads is achieved. It is important to follow the
safety operating procedures that are spelled out in
this Operator’s Manual.
WARNING
Crush Hazard
When handling loads, improper use
of the machine can result in serious
injury or death to the machine operator. This
could be caused by the contents of the load
falling or rolling backwards into the operator’s
station. Therefore, it is important to handle
loads safely.
CAUTION
Tip Over Hazard
It is important not to exceed 3,500 lbs. or
83% of the lift capacity of the machine.
The operator should not lift the load too high,
creating an unstable and unsafe situation. The
operator should also avoid tilting the load too
far forward, setting up a situation that could
cause the load to empty from the bucket
The operator must travel at a safe speed for
ground conditions. Travel slowly over rough
ground or when making turns. Working on or
around slippery or sloped areas could cause the
operator to lose control of the machine.
The operator must not allow bystanders, pets,
or livestock to approach the danger zone of the
working area.
The operator must not leave the machine with
the attachment raised off the ground.

roofs when driving with the raised loader. Do
not touch the machine or attachment if they
come into contact with a live electric cable.
Back the tractor away from the cable or wait
until it is de-energized.
NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure there is enough overhead
clearance and no potential hazards or obstructions that
could interfere with the lifting and placing of the loads.
2. Verifythattheloaddoesnotexceedthesmaller
of the two lift capacities:
• Rated lift capacity of the attachment.
• 83% of the rated lift capacity of the machine.
Note: Using 83% of the rated lift capacity accounts
for increased loader stresses caused by the
extendedattachmentandensurespropertire
rating.
NOTICE
Prying with the bucket’s edge or using the bucket with
excessive horsepower can damage the bucket and void its
warranty.
3. Center the bucket on the material to be picked
up.
WARNING
Before digging
Check for hidden live electrical
cables. Do not leave the driver’s
seat if any part of the tractor, loader, or tool
contacts a live electric cable. Avoid touching
the machine or attachment and the ground
simultaneously. Back the tractor away from the
cable or wait until it is de-energized.
Carefully approach the loading area,
ensuring no objects will come back into
the operator’s space, causing serious
injury or death.
If working on an uphill slope, drive
straight upwards, fill the bucket, and
reverse downhill while lowering the loader
as far as possible. Avoid driving along the
side of a slope to prevent overturning.
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Transport loads at a height that maintains a
clear line of sight and keep the load low to the
ground when possible to enhance stability.
4. Slowly drive into the pile without ramming the
bucket.
WARNING
Bystander Hazard
Keep all bystanders at a safe
distance when entering and picking
up a load. Objects can shift or be thrown
suddenly as the bucket makes contact with the
load, causing serious injury or death. Avoid
ramming the bucket into a pile as it can damage
the attachment.
5. Lift the load of material a short distance and tilt
the bucket back before traveling.
6. Conrmthattheloadisbalancedandsecurely
positioned.
Note: Ensure the material is properly secured before
traveling. Have good control of the load,
releasing and recapturing it if it’s not secure.
7. Verify that no animals or bystanders are behind
you and that it is safe to reverse.
8. Back the load out of the pile slowly, ensuring it
clears all other obstacles.
9. Position the load at a safe, low traveling height
before transferring it to the unloading site. It
is recommended to keep it two to four inches
above the ground
Note: To minimize jerking, stop and start the loader
gradually when lowering or lifting loads.
WARNING
Risk of falling.
Do not use the loader or the
attachment as a working platform.
Do not lift or transport people using the loader
or attachment.

WARNING
Avoid standing, walking, or working under
or beside a raised loader. Keep everybody,
especially children and animals, away from
the work area. Always keep an eye on your
workplace.
Never carry out work with the attachment
that requires another person to be in the
work area.
NOTICE
No Chains.
Do not attach chains intended for lifting or securing loads
to the attachment, as it may cause damage.
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Always ensure the tractor is properly ballasted
before attempting to lift any load with the
attachment.
6.5.2 Traveling with a Load
1. Always yield to pedestrians.
2. Tilt the load back slightly, adjusting the tilt angle
of the attachment to prevent it from aiming at the
driver when the load is raised.
3. Keep the load low, preferably two to four inches
abovetheoor.
4. Continuously scan all sides for bystanders or
othertra󰀩c.
SI
Make sure that the work area is clear of
children, animals, and other obstacles
before using the attachment. This is particularly
important in areas with higher noise levels or
quiet cabs, as you may not hear people
shouting.
5. Maintain a safe and controlled speed, reduce
speed when turning, and avoid sudden braking.
6. Provide adequate clearance while turning to
avoid contact between the attachments, load,
and obstacles such as storage racks, buildings,
trees, or fences.
7. When traveling over ramps or inclines, keep the
loadonthe“uphill”sideofthemachine.
8. Whenever possible, travel straight on grades,
ramps, and inclines, avoiding turns.
9. Only raise or lower the load when the machine is
stopped, not during travel.
10. Reduce speed when traveling over rough or hilly
terrain.
11. Do not transport loads on public roadways.
12. If using public roadways, ensure safe
transportation to allow faster vehicles to pass.
13. Planyourroutetoavoidheavytra󰀩c.
14. Keep equipment away from electrical power
lines and place orange warning signs under
overhead electrical power lines to indicate the
danger.
6.5.3 Dumping the Load
1. Bring the machine to a stop in front of the
desired location for load placement.
2. Gradually raise the load to the required height.
3. Move the machine forward slowly with the load
raised until it is positioned squarely and directly
abovethenaldestination.
4. Tilt the front of the bucket down to release the
load. If necessary, raise the bucket up to allow
the load to fully discharge.
5. Once the load has settled onto the pile, rotate
the front of the bucket level.
6. After the load has settled, slowly back up while
watching for clearances, pedestrians, and other
tra󰀩c.
7. Leave enough clearance when turning and/or
lowering the bucket to prevent it from making
contact with obstacles such as vehicles,
buildings, trees, or fences.
8. Lower the bucket to transporting height (low to
the ground) before moving again.
