IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This symbol is used to call attention to safe-
ty precautions that should be followed by 
the operator to avoid accidents. When you 
see this symbol, carefully read the message 
that follows and heed its advice. Failure to 
comply with safety precautions could result 
in serious bodily injury.

In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the 
awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of
equipment. Lack of attention to safety can result in accident, personal injury,  reduction of efficiency and worst of all—loss 
of life. Watch for safety hazards and correct deficiencies promptly. Use the following safety precautions as a general 
guide to safe operations when using this machine.  Additional safety precautions are used throughout this manual for
specific operating and maintenance procedures. Read this manual and review the safety precautions often until you know
the limitations.

THE TRACTOR

1.  Read the tractor operator’s manual to learn how to operate your tractor safely. Failure to do so could result in seri-

ous  injury or death and equipment damage.

2.  It is recommended that tractor be equipped with Rollover Protective System (ROPS) and a seat belt be used for all

loader operations.

3.  Add wheel ballast or rear weight for stability.

4.  Move wheels to the tractor manufacturer’s widest recommended settings to increase stability.

5.  For better stability, use tractor with wide front axle rather than tricycle front wheels.

6.  Move and turn the tractor at low speeds.

7.  Stop tractor engine, place transmission in park (or neutral), engage parking brake,  lower loader arms to ground,

cycle all hydraulic controls to relieve pressure, allow  machine moving parts to stop, remove ignition key to prevent
unauthorized person from starting engine before dismounting tractor or servicing, repairing, or making adjustments
to the equipment.

8.  Wear personal protective equipment (PPE), such as, but not limited to, protection for eyes, ears, lungs, head, hands

and feet when operating, servicing, or repairing equipment. Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry that may catch
and entangle on equipment moving parts.

THE LOADER

1.  Read the loader operator’s manual to learn how to operate your loader safely. Failure to do so could result in seri-

ous injury or death and equipment damage.

2.  Become familiar with all the machine’s controls and all the caution, warning and danger decals affixed to the 

machine before attempting to start or operate.

3.  Improper use of a loader can cause serious injury or death.

4.  Do not lift or carry anybody on the loader or in the bucket or attachment.

5.  Never allow anyone to get under the loader bucket or reach through the booms when the bucket is raised.

6.  Do not walk or work under a raised loader bucket or attachment unless it is is securely blocked or held in position.

7.  Avoid overhead wires and obstacles when loader is raised. Contacting electrical lines can cause electrocution.

8.  Make sure all parked  loaders on stands are on a hard, level surface.

9.  Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather than hands and wear eye protection when searching for  hydraulic leaks. 

Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate skin. If oil is injected into skin, it must be surgically removed 
within a few hours by a doctor or gangrene may result.
