SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

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. Review the safety instructions with all users annually.

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.

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. 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 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.

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.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY

Be sure power unit is in good condition.Read all the safety precautions and make sure all operators are famil-

iar with the safety rules of operation.

Never leave the prime mover and implement unattended while the implement is in the lifted position.Accidental

operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause sudden drop of unit with injury or death by crushing.

Keep all helpers and bystanders twenty-five feet (25’) 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 under-

stood. 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.

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.

Never allow children to play on or around prime mover or implement.Children can slip or fall off the equipment

and be injured or killed.Inadvertent contact with controls can cause the implement to shift or fall crushing them-

selves or others.

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.

Start prime mover only when properly seated in the operator’s seat. Starting a prime mover in gear can result

in injury or death. Do not mount or dismount while the prime mover is moving. Mount or dismount only when

the prime mover and all moving parts are completely stopped.

Operate the prime mover and/or implement controls only while properly seated in the prime mover’s seat with

the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the tractor or implement may cause

serious injury or death.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

OPERATIONAL SAFETY (continued)

Completely engage load before lifting.Fork length should be at least two-thirds of load length.It is recommend-

ed to keep lifting surface of the forks level at all times.When backward tilt is required to stabilize the load, use

extreme caution.

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.

Beware of low electrical wires when loader is raised. Serious injury or death can result if contact is made.

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.

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.

Use extra care when using 48” or 60” forks.The forks may extend beyond what you are handling causing dam-

age or tip material on the other side.

Operate the loader controls smoothly, avoiding jerky operation. Stop loader gradually when lowering or lifting

loads.

When handling material on a slope, always approach the material with the power unit facing uphill.

Do not lift round bales.

When stacking material, ALWAYS MAKE SURE MATERIAL IS PLACED SO THE STACK IS STABLE.

Keep all bystanders at a safe distance. REMEMBER FALLING ITEMS CAN ROLL OR TUMBLE.

Do not handle loads that exceed the weight limitations of the loader or forks.

Carry the loads slowly and as low as possible to the ground. Avoid excessive speed during operation.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation to trouble.

Do not use blocking made of concrete blocks, logs, buckets, barrels or any other material that could suddenly

collapse or shift positions. Use only good quality blocking material.

Before working on this machine, drive to a level area, disengage the PTO, lower implement or loader (or if

working underneath, raise and block securely), shut off the engine, relieve all hydraulic pressure, set the

brakes, and remove the ignition keys.

Never operate controls from the ground. Operate the controls only from the operator’s station.

Never work under equipment unless it is blocked securely. Never depend on hydraulic system to keep imple-

ment in raised position.

Always use personal protection devices such as eye, hand and hearing protectors, when performing any

service or maintenance.

Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

Periodically tighten all bolts, nuts and screws and check that all cotter pins are properly installed to ensure unit

is in a safe condition.

Openings in the skin and minor cuts are susceptible to infection from hydraulic fluid. If injured by escaping

hydraulic fluid, see a doctor at once. Gangrene and death can result. Without immediate medical treatment,

serious infection and reactions can occur.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY

Check to ensure all safety signs are installed and in good condition.

If equipment has been altered in any way from original design, the manufacturer does not accept any liability

for injury or warranty.

OPERATE LOADER SAFELY

——————————————————

• Adjust the spacing of the forks so they engage the pal-

let or load at its maximum width and then approach the

load in such a fashion that the weight will be centered

between the fork tines. The heaviest side should be

closest to the fork frame and not near the tips of the

fork tines.

• Before lifting make certain the fork tines are complete-

ly under the load and level. (Fork length should be at

least two-thirds of load length).

• Lift the load slightly to make sure the load is stable. If

load appears unstable, lower and reposition the tines

to achieve full stability.

• Raise the load to the MINIMUM height required for the

terrain.

• During transportation; keep the fork tines level, gradu-

ally accelerate and brake, slow down before turning

and avoid any obstacles, bumps or holes. Check load

frequently to ensure stability.

• Start lifting slowing and smoothly. Lift speeds can be

slightly increased once the load has started moving

and appears to be stable.

• If the load starts to lean or move, lower to the ground

and reposition.

• Lower the load gently until the weight of the load is

securely resting on the landing point and the forks are

free to be retracted from under the load.

• Make sure weight of load is centered between the

forks.

When traveling on public roads, whether at night or

during the day, use accessory light and devices for

adequate warnings to operators of other vehicles.

Comply with all federal, state and local laws.

■■Always stop the tractor or skid steer, set brake,

shut off engine, remove key, and lower loader to

ground before attempting to service. Never leave

equipment unattended with engine running.

■■Do not work under a raised loader unless it is

securely blocked or held in position. Do not depend

on the hydraulic system to hold loader and attach-

ment in place.

■■Keep all persons away from operator control area

while performing adjustments, service, or mainte-

nance.

Transport the loaded pallet fork at a slow speed and

with the loader at the lowest transport position to

avoid tipping or upsetting, which could result in seri-

ous injury or death.

MAINTENANCE & STORAGE

——————————————————

Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately. Do

not use attachment with any damaged parts.

Smearing a light coat of grease on the main frame rails

will make adjusting the fork width easier.

Storage location should be level and solid to make

hitching and unhitching easy. Store in a clean, dry loca-

tion away from children and livestock.

IMPORTANT: Keep forklift tines adjusted to maximum

width for better load stability.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

OPERATION (continued)

—————————————————— TRANSPORTING

——————————————————

Allow for additional length of loader and attachment on

power unit while turning.

Check visibility. If visibility is impaired, reduce speed or

consider other means of transport.

Read all the safety warnings in the front of this manu-

al and in the manual of power unit.

WARNING

CAUTION

Operate up and down slopes with the heavy end of

the machine uphill. Carrying a load with the pallet

fork attachment will make the front end heavy.

When going up or down hill, the machine could

overturn if the heavy end is toward the downhill side.

Someone may be pinned or seriously injured if the

machine overturns.

WARNING

10 19

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

Following operation or when unhooking, stop the tractor, set the brakes, shut off the engine, relieve all hydraulic

pressure and remove the ignition keys.

Store the unit in an area away from human activity. Do not permit children to play on or around the stored unit.

Do not park equipment where it will be exposed to livestock for long periods of time. Damage and livestock

injury could result.

Make sure all parked machines are on a hard, level surface and engage all safety devices. Storage location

should be level and solid to make connecting and unconnecting to power unit easy.

If blocking is used, make sure it is solid and secure before leaving area.

STORAGE SAFETY

Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times.

Replace safety signs that are missing or have become illegible.

Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign should also display the current sign.

Safety signs are available from your Distributor or Dealer Parts Department or the factory.

Be sure that the installation area is clean and dry. Be sure temperature is above 50°F (10°C).

Decide on the exact position before you remove the backing paper.

Remove the smallest portion of the split backing paper. Align the sign over the specified area and carefully

press the small portion with the exposed sticky backing in place.

Slowly peel back the remaining paper and carefully smooth the remaining portion of the sign in place. Small

air pockets can be pierced with a pin and smoothed out using the piece of sign backing paper.

How to Install Safety Signs:

SAFETY SIGNS

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 an operator’s single careless act.

In addition to the design and configuration of

equipment, hazard control and accident prevention

are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judge-

ment, and proper training of personnel involved in the

operation, transport, maintenance 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 operator.

The operator is responsible for the safe operation of

this equipment. The operator must be properly trained.

Operators should be familiar with the equipment, the

tractor, and all safety practices before starting operation.

Read the safety rules and safety decals on pages 3

through page 11.

INSTRUCTIONS

TRACTOR AND LOADER/SKID

STEER REQUIREMENTS AND

PREPARATION

——————————————————

The required size of the tractor and front loader or skid

steer will be determined by the weight of the load to be

handled.

Always use a tractor and front loader or skid steer large

enough to safely handle the load.

Check your tractor and front loader or skid steer to

make sure they are in good working condition. Check all

frame mounting bolts to make sure they are tight.

Loaders that attach to the tractor frame rails should

have a cross-tie installed for stability.

Check the hydraulic system. Be sure the hydraulic oil

and filter have been serviced according to the manufac-

turer’s recommendations.

Be sure tires and rims are in good condition. Inflate

tires to the proper recommended air pressure.

When lifting loads with a tractor front loader, it is always

best to have a heavy implement or weight box connected

to the rear 3 pt. hitch.

The load rating of all pallet forks is figured with the load

24” in front of the fork lift frame and evenly distributed

between the two fork tines.

NEVER put load at the ends of the fork tines – the lift

capacity at the ends of the forks is only about 1/3 of the

total lift capacity.

■■Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS

cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened.

Falling off power unit can result in death from being

run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in

“locked up” position at all times.

■■A heavy load can cause instability in driving a

power unit. Make sure the rear of the tractor is

properly counter-balanced with weights. Always

drive slowly – especially around turns. An unstable

unit could steer badly and possibly tip over, causing

injury or death.

■■Do not exceed the maximum recommended

weight listed for the pallet fork. Damage to the equip-

ment or serious personal injury could result.

WARNING

The JDPF-6748 and the units above that have Class II

rail mounted forks.The JDPF-H48048 and JDPF-H48060

models have Class 3A forks. The load rating for all units

is with the load halfway in front of the pallet fork frames

(ie - 24” on 48” forks).

MODEL PF-448

——————————————————

The Universal model PF-448 Pallet Fork attachment is

designed to fit most double-cylinder front end loaders

with a load-arm center distance of 52 inches or less.

Optional brackets are available to fit both pin-on and

some popular quick coupler front-end loaders. Brackets

must be ordered with the pallet fork attachment to mount

on your loader.

The Universal Pallet Fork can also be used on the rear

3 pt. Cat. II hitch with pin-on brackets and the Optional

#831815 Toplink Bracket.

With the optional #830358 Bushing Kit, a Cat. II Quick

Hitch may be used. (Pin-on brackets and toplink bracket

required.)

The model PF-448 with 48” solid pallet forks can han-

dle loads up to 4,000 lbs.Load ratings are figured with the

load about 24” in front of the fork lift frame and evenly

distributed between the two fork tines.

Install the two backstop weldments on the top crossbar

(see page 21).

ASSEMBLY – TRACTOR LOADERS

PIN ON ATTACHMENT

——————————————————

Preview the assembly instructions and the exploded

views of the pallet fork in your operator’s manual and

become familiar as to how the parts or assemblies go

together. For model PF-448, see page 21.

Assemble the two lift brackets on the main frame with

the 5/8” x 3” I.D. U-bolts. Leave the U-bolts loose.

NOTE: The optional lift channel brackets are supplied

with 1” diameter pins to fit your loader. If your loader

requires 11/8” pins, it will be necessary for the hole diam-

eter in the channel brackets to be drilled out to 15/32”

(1.156”) and ask your dealer to order 11/8” diameter pins.

The 11/8” pins are part #830318. Be sure to indicate if two

or four 11/8” pins are required.

If your loader requires 11/4” diameter pins, please ask

your dealer to order adapter bushings (part #830319).Be

sure to indicate how many adapter bushings are required.

NOTE: The Ford (New Holland) models 7109, 7209,

7210, 7309, 7310 and 7410 Pin Type Loaders require

special brackets.Also, Rhino (Alamo) models 2410Q and

2491Q. Order #830330 bracket kit.

NOTE: For loaders that require brackets that provide

additional roll back, order #830335 (1” pins).

Connect the above assembly to the loader arms using

the bottom hole in the channel and attach the upper con-

trol cylinder to the top hole in the lift channels.Center the

main frame (side to side) with your loader arms and

tighten the four (4) 5/8” x 3” U-Bolts.

The lower hole positions in the lift channels can be used

to obtain more angle movement. However, if the frame

becomes too parallel with the loader lift arms, the loader

may not have enough power (mechanical advantage) to

bring the frame back.

NOTE: Generally, it is not recommended to have the tilt

cylinders located any closer than 10-12 inches to the

main loader lift arms. Check the spacing of mounting

pins on your loader bucket and use this as a guide.

NOTE: If tilt cylinders are located too close to the loader

arms, they may go “over center” when fully extended. If

this happens, damage may occur to the cylinders and/or

mounting brackets.

For first time installation, read the instructions for

mounting your pallet fork attachment on your front loader

or skid steer. (See pages 13-16.)

Remove the bucket from your front end loader. Check

your loader to make sure it is in good working order.

FORK TINE INSTALLATION

——————————————————

With loader arms lowered and completely rolled back,

shut down the power unit following the safety shutdown

procedure for your unit. Ensure that the locking assembly

on the tine is in the unlocked (UP) position. Place the top

of the fork on the top rail in the middle of the frame and

then rotate down. Slide the fork to the side to seat it on

the frame and, using the locking assembly that is on your

tine, lock in place. Install the following tine(s) in the same

fashion. Make sure the locking assembly has been set

into a notch on the top rail and therefore securing the tine

to the frame.

NOTE: Smearing a light coat of grease on the main frame

rails will make adjusting the fork width easier.

IMPORTANT: Keep forklift tines adjusted to maximum

width for better load stability.

become familiar as to how the parts or assemblies go

together. For model PF-448, see page 21.

Assemble the two lift brackets on the main frame with

the 5/8” x 3” I.D. U-bolts. Leave the U-bolts loose.

NOTE: The optional lift channel brackets are supplied

with 1” diameter pins to fit your loader. If your loader

requires 11/8” pins, it will be necessary for the hole diam-

eter in the channel brackets to be drilled out to 15/32”

(1.156”) and ask your dealer to order 11/8” diameter pins.

The 11/8” pins are part #830318. Be sure to indicate if two

or four 11/8” pins are required.

If your loader requires 11/4” diameter pins, please ask

your dealer to order adapter bushings (part #830319).Be

sure to indicate how many adapter bushings are required.

NOTE: The Ford (New Holland) models 7109, 7209,

7210, 7309, 7310 and 7410 Pin Type Loaders require

special brackets.Also, Rhino (Alamo) models 2410Q and

2491Q. Order #830330 bracket kit.

NOTE: For loaders that require brackets that provide

additional roll back, order #830335 (1” pins).

Connect the above assembly to the loader arms using

the bottom hole in the channel and attach the upper con-

trol cylinder to the top hole in the lift channels.Center the

main frame (side to side) with your loader arms and

tighten the four (4) 5/8” x 3” U-Bolts.

The lower hole positions in the lift channels can be used

to obtain more angle movement. However, if the frame

becomes too parallel with the loader lift arms, the loader

may not have enough power (mechanical advantage) to

bring the frame back.

NOTE: Generally, it is not recommended to have the tilt

cylinders located any closer than 10-12 inches to the

main loader lift arms. Check the spacing of mounting

pins on your loader bucket and use this as a guide.

NOTE: If tilt cylinders are located too close to the loader

arms, they may go “over center” when fully extended. If

this happens, damage may occur to the cylinders and/or

mounting brackets.

For first time installation, read the instructions for

mounting your pallet fork attachment on your front loader

or skid steer. (See pages 13-16.)

Remove the bucket from your front end loader. Check

your loader to make sure it is in good working order.

FORK TINE INSTALLATION

——————————————————

With loader arms lowered and completely rolled back,

shut down the power unit following the safety shutdown

procedure for your unit. Ensure that the locking assembly

on the tine is in the unlocked (UP) position. Place the top

of the fork on the top rail in the middle of the frame and

then rotate down. Slide the fork to the side to seat it on

the frame and, using the locking assembly that is on your

tine, lock in place. Install the following tine(s) in the same

fashion. Make sure the locking assembly has been set

into a notch on the top rail and therefore securing the tine

to the frame.

NOTE: Smearing a light coat of grease on the main frame

rails will make adjusting the fork width easier.

IMPORTANT: Keep forklift tines adjusted to maximum

width for better load stability.

INSTRUCTIONS

TRACTOR AND LOADER/SKID

STEER REQUIREMENTS AND

PREPARATION

——————————————————

The required size of the tractor and front loader or skid

steer will be determined by the weight of the load to be

handled.

Always use a tractor and front loader or skid steer large

enough to safely handle the load.

Check your tractor and front loader or skid steer to

make sure they are in good working condition. Check all

frame mounting bolts to make sure they are tight.

Loaders that attach to the tractor frame rails should

have a cross-tie installed for stability.

Check the hydraulic system. Be sure the hydraulic oil

and filter have been serviced according to the manufac-

turer’s recommendations.

Be sure tires and rims are in good condition. Inflate

tires to the proper recommended air pressure.

When lifting loads with a tractor front loader, it is always

best to have a heavy implement or weight box connected

to the rear 3 pt. hitch.

The load rating of all pallet forks is figured with the load

24” in front of the fork lift frame and evenly distributed

between the two fork tines.

NEVER put load at the ends of the fork tines – the lift

capacity at the ends of the forks is only about 1/3 of the

total lift capacity.

■■Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS

cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened.

Falling off power unit can result in death from being

run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in

“locked up” position at all times.

■■A heavy load can cause instability in driving a

power unit. Make sure the rear of the tractor is

properly counter-balanced with weights. Always

drive slowly – especially around turns. An unstable

unit could steer badly and possibly tip over, causing

injury or death.

■■Do not exceed the maximum recommended

weight listed for the pallet fork. Damage to the equip-

ment or serious personal injury could result.

WARNING

The JDPF-6748 and the units above that have Class II

rail mounted forks.The JDPF-H48048 and JDPF-H48060

models have Class 3A forks. The load rating for all units

is with the load halfway in front of the pallet fork frames

(ie - 24” on 48” forks).
