To relieve pressure, turn engine off, set flow control lever (#6 in Fig. 3) to OFF and
actuate accessory control lever (#5 in Fig. 3) forward and reverse to empty lines. Connect flat face couplers.
WORKING AREA
It is important that you first walk the area that you are going to work in with the G41.
-
Look for loose or soft soil, wet, damp or muddy land, sandy or icy conditions are all potential hazards when operating
a mini loader.
-
Holes, drop-offs, ditches, slippery surfaces, culverts, unstable surfaces, hillsides, large rocks, trees are all causes for
concern.
-
Evaluate the situation before proceeding with the task at hand. Do not proceed if the hazards can not be corrected or
avoided.
-
Make sure to have the area marked for buried lines.
-
Consult local utility service providers (gas, electric, cable, water, telephone) before any digging is performed.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
-
Start by planning your work
-
Inspect the G41, check for leaks, broken or loose parts, check oil levels (hydraulic and engine), check and refill fuel
tank.
-
Check wheel motor woodruff keys daily to ensure that the wheel hub is solidly attached to the wheel motor.
Using the machine with a broken woodruff key will damage the hub and wheel motor.
-
Operate all controls smoothly and slowly and never stop abruptly, avoid brisk movements. This will make your work
safer and more comfortable.
-
Always keep a firm grip on the handle bar as the machine moves to keep from loosing balance and injuring yourself.
-
Always look in the direction you are going, turn and or reverse at a reduced speed. Do not make sharp turns at speed
and try to come to a stop smoothly.
-
Stop operating the machine if someone wanders to close.
-
Never exceed the rated capacity on the G41 and or its attachments. Understand that different attachments will change
the way the G41 acts and reacts.
-
Travel with the bucket or attachment as close to the ground as possible, traveling with raised loader arms will make
the machine unstable.
-
Try to avoid working on slopes, but if necessary use extreme caution and travel at lower speeds.
-
Do not travel across slopes.
-
Do not park on slopes.
-
If you have to work on a slope, travel straight up or down making sure the heavy end of the machine is always
pointing up the slope.
-
On an empty or unloaded machine the operator platform is the heavy end.
-
On a loaded machine or with a heavy attachment, the front is the heavy end.
-
Load, unload and turn on flat level ground. Do not travel or turn with loader arms up.
-
Operate only from the operator’s platform; always keep hands on handle bar and controls.
-
Keep the bucket level when raising loader arms to prevent material or debris from falling from bucket.
