Safety instructions for using the attachment
Please bear in mind that safety is the result of several factors. The loader-attachment combination is highly
powerful and improper or careless use or maintenance may cause serious personal injury or property
damage. Due to this, all operators must carefully familiarise themselves about correct use and the operator's
manuals of both the loader and the attachment before starting operation. Do not use the attachment if you
have not completely familiarised yourself with its operation and the related hazards.
DANGER
Misuse, careless use, or using an attachment that is in poor condition may
cause risk of serious injuries.
Familiarise yourself with the controls of the loader,
correct coupling procedure, and the correct way to operate the attachment at a safe
area. Study especially how to stop the equipment in a safe manner. Read all safety
precautions carefully.
Read all safety instructions carefully before handling the attachment
WARNING
When attaching an attachment to the Drawbar,
ensure that the locking bolts of the
Drawbar's quick coupling plate are in the lower position and that they have
locked the attachment to the Drawbar.
Never lift or move an unlocked attachment.
The Drawbar is designed to be used by one operator at a time. Do not let others near
the danger area of the equipment when it is in use.
Always transport the attachment as low as possible to keep the centre of gravity low.
Ensure positive locking of the trailer coupling.
Ensure that ventilation is sufficient when operating indoors. Do not operate the loader
in closed spaces regardless of the engine or fuel type. Exhaust gases may
concentrate to hazardous levels.
Keep the loader articulation in straight position when handling heavy loads. When
turning the articulation, the loader may tilt forward.
Make sure that the surface can bear the total load. Also follow the correct tyre
pressure settings.
Tipping over - Crushing hazard - Do not try to move an unattached attachment by
pushing or dragging it, instead, always handle it with the loader.
Ensure that an unattached attachment is supported properly and can't accidentally
move or tip over.
Pay attention to the surroundings and any other persons and machines moving in the
vicinity. Other persons must keep safety distance of 5 meters. Pay attention to the
contours of the terrain and other hazards, such as branches and trees that can reach
to the driver's area, loose rocks, and slippery surfaces.
Never use the attachment to lift or to transport persons or as any kind of work
platform even temporarily.
Make sure to use only an attachment that is in good condition. Check the attachment
thoroughly in regular intervals. Do not modify the attachment in a manner that would
affect its safety. It is prohibited to drill holes on the attachment, and welding or other
means of fixing hooks or other objects on the attachment is strictly prohibited.
Use the attachment only for its intended purpose. Other use may create unnecessary
safety risks, and the equipment may get damaged.
