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  loader, 

ensure  that  the  locking  pins  of  the 

loader's quick attach plate are in the lower position and that they have locked 
the attachment to the loader. 

Never lift or move an unlocked attachment. 

 

The Ripper 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, 
and keep the telescopic boom retracted during driving. 

 

 

 

 

Operate the ripper calmly and carefully. Avoid pulling material by plucking. 

 

 

 

Note that the object being tried to move may suddenly become loose, or the grip may 
suddenly slip. Do not allow others to stay near or under the loader boom. 

 

 

 

Pay attention to the surroundings and any other persons and machines moving in the 
vicinity.  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 go under a raised attachment or the loader boom. Beware of the ripper, which 
may be lowered even if the loader engine has been shut down. 

 

 

 

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. 

 

 

 

Make sure that the loader is equipped with necessary safety components, and that 
they are in working condition. Seat belt must be used. If there are specific hazards 
related to the operating area, use appropriate safety equipment. 

 

 

 

Also  read  the  safety  instructions  and  correct  use  of  the  loader  from  the  operator's 
manual of the loader.
