General Safety Instructions
Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new
piece of equipment. Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features
as possible. However, every year many accidents occur which could have been
avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling
equipment. You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following
precautions in this section. To avoid personal injury, study the following precautions
and insist those working with you, or for you, follow them.
In order to provide a better view, certain photographs or illustrations in this manual
may show an assembly with a safety shield removed. However, equipment should
never be operated in this condition. Keep all shields in place. If shield removal
becomes necessary for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.
Replace any CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER or instruction safety sign that is not
readable or is missing. Location of such safety signs is indicated in this booklet.
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination
while operating this equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine
while taking prescription medications.
Review the safety instructions with all users annually.
This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The
operator should be a responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this
equipment’s operations. Do not allow per-sons to operate or assemble this unit until
they have read this manual and have developed a thorough understanding of the
safety precautions and of how it works.

3.SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To prevent injury or death, use a tractor equipped with a Roll-Over Protective System
(ROPS). Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times. Do not paint
over, remove or deface any safety signs or
warning signs on your equipment. Observe all safety signs and practice the instruction
on them.
Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so
safely, is in question –DON’T TRY IT.
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the
function and/or safety and could affect the life of the equipment.
In addition to the design and configuration of this implement, including Safety Signs
and Safety 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 the machine. Refer also to Safety
Messages and Operation Instructions in each of the appropriate sections of the Tractor,
Skid Steer, and Implement Manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs affixed to
the Tractor, Skid Steer, and the Implement.
Operational safety
Start power unit only when properly seated in the operator’s seat. Starting a power
unit in gear can result in injury or death. Do not mount or dismount while the power
unit is moving. Mount or dismount only when the power unit and all moving parts are
completely stopped.
Keep all helpers and bystanders fifty feet (50’) from an operating power unit and
attached equipment. Only properly trained people should operate this machine. It is
recommended the tractor be equipped with a Rollover
Protection System (ROPS) and a seat belt that is used. Always stop the tractor, skid
steer, or forklift, set brake, shut off the engine, remove the ignition key, and lower

loader and attachment to the ground before dismounting. Never leave equipment
unattended with the engine running.
Please remember it is important that you read and heed the safety signs on the front
loader attachment and loader, and the safety rules set forth. Clean or replace all safety
signs if they cannot be clearly read and understood. They are there for your safety as
well as the safety of others. The safe use of this machine is strictly up to you, the
operator.
Be sure power unit is in good condition. Read all the safety precautions and make sure
all operators are familiar with the safety rules of operation. Working with unfamiliar
equipment can lead to careless injuries. It is the equipment owner’s responsibility, if
this machine is used by any person other than yourself, is loaned or rented, to make
certain that the operator, prior to operating:
Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.
Is instructed in safe and proper use.
Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. A
person who has not read and understood all operating and safety instructions is not
qualified to operate the machine. An untrained operator exposes himself and
bystanders to possible serious injury or death.
Do not allow children to operate this machine.
Know your controls and how to stop the power unit and engine quickly in an
emergency. READ THIS MANUAL AND THE ONE PROVIDED WITH YOUR TRACTOR AND
LOADER, OR SKID STEER.
When the use of hand tools is required to perform any part of assembly, installation,
adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement, be sure the
tools used are designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer for that specific task.

3.SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Personal protection equipment including safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are
recommended during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining,
repairing, removal, or moving the attachment.
Always use two people to handle heavy, unwieldy components during assembly,
installation, removal, or moving the loader attachment.
Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement should
occur during assembly, installation, operation, maintaining, repairing, removal, or
moving the implement.
The use of any loader attachment is NOT recommended on tractor with a tricycle
wheel arrangement. Tricycle type tractors are unstable for front loader use.
A heavy load can cause instability in driving a power unit. Make sure the front or rear
of the power unit is properly counter-balanced with weights. Always drive slowly –
especially around turns. An unstable power unit
could steer badly and possibly tip over, causing injury or death.
Do not allow others to ride on the power unit with an operator. Riders are subject to
injury such as being struck by foreign objects or being thrown off. Riders obstruct the
operator’s view resulting in unsafe operation. Never allow anyone to ride on the
implement! Keep all bystanders at a safe distance.
Before you operate any equipment, check over all pins, bolts and connections to be
sure all are securely in place. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.
Check that this attachment is securely mounted to the loader. Failure to install lock
pins or have the latching mechanism engaged could result in injury or death.

3.SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not work under a raised loader unless it is securely blocked or held in position. Do
not depend on the power unit hydraulic system to hold the implement in place.
Operate the loader controls smoothly, avoiding jerky operation. Stop loader gradually
when lowering or lifting loads.
Beware of low electrical wires when loader is raised. Serious injury or death can result
if contact is made.
Only use a power unit equipped with a ROPS cab or rollover protective structure. Keep
foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times. Keep seat belt fastened.
Be certain the power unit is in neutral or park position before starting engine.
Always shut off power unit and shift to “Park” or set brakes when leaving unit. Always
lower bucket or attachment to ground, relieve all hydraulic pressure. Remove key when
leaving equipment unattended. Park in
level area.
Keep alert and watch the rear as well as the front when working with the loader.
Beware of lift clearance when raising loader to maximum height.

operation.
When moving snow, do not operate with the blade in the locked position.
Never lift blade above the operator’s eye level or to a height where visibility is
obstructed.
When using the blade, use extra care. Do not ram blade into piles of dirt or snow.
Ramming can also dis- lodge operator from seat and/or tractor controls, resulting in
possible serious injury or death.
Always ease the tractor into the load. It may be necessary to reposition and take less
“bite” on the material to move it safely.
ALWAYS lower loader to the ground or block securely before performing any
maintenance work.
Inspect the entire machine periodically as indicated in the Maintenance Section of this
manual. Look for loose fasteners, worn or broken parts, pinched hydraulic hoses, and
leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have
cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining this machine
in good working order.

3.SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some
localities prohibit their use. Local laws should be checked for all highway lighting and
marking requirements.
When driving the power unit and equipment on the road or highway under 20 mph
(32 kph) at night or during the day, use flashing amber warning lights and a slow
moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem.
Always be sure the implement is in the proper raised position for transport.
Reduce speed when transporting mounted implements to avoid bouncing and
momentary loss of steering control.
Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.
Always install transport locks, pins or brackets before transporting.
Do not drink and drive!
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.
Turn curves or go up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual steering
angle. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces, and loose gravel.
Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on
hillside, over rough ground and when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful
when turning sharp corners.
Never allow riders on either power unit or implement. Falling off can kill.
Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations,
including narrow bridges, inter- sections, etc.
Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Reduce speed on rough roads and surfaces.
