The operator is responsible for the safe operation of
this equipment. The operator must be properly trained.
Operators should be familiar with the power unit, loader
and loader attachment, and all safety practices before
starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety signs
on pages 3-11.
NOTE: Loose items such as logs can slide sideways,
thus putting all their weight on one fork. This can
bend forks.
WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER
BENT FORKS.
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).

MODELS JDPF-5442/5448/5460
ATTACHMENT TO PRIME MOVER
——————————————————
The Pallet Fork Models JDPF-5442, JDPF-5448, and
JDPF-5460 are specifically designed for John Deere 400
and 500 series loaders. They are rated for loads up to
4,000 lbs. Note that the JDPF-5460 forks are rated above
the loader capacity.
NOTE: Procedure is the same for all attachments.
Bucket attachment shown.
ATTACHING
1. Extend bucket tilt cylinders to angle attaching brackets
forward.
NOTE: Angle must be greater than that of the
brackets on the rear of the pallet fork.
2. Drive forward, adjusting loader height and position
until the top of the loader bracket engages the hooks
(C) on the pallet fork.
3. Slowly retract the bucket tilt cylinders and raise the
loader so the lower lock pins (F) engage the hole in
the holder strap (E).
4. Continue to retract the tilt cylinders and raise the
loader until the main frame of the pallet fork is vertical.
5. Engage tractor parking brake and/or place transmis-
sion in PARK. Shut off tractor engine and remove key.
6. Install the quick-lock-pin (A) into the pins (F) on each
side of the pallet fork.
Installation is now complete.
NOTE: On attachments with two pins (F), the 400
series loaders will utilize the upper pin and the 500
series loader will utilize the lower pin.
DETACHING
1. Engage tractor parking brake and/or place transmis-
sion in PARK. Shut off tractor engine and remove key.
2. Remove the quick lock-pin (A) from each side of
attachment. Store pins in storage position (B).
3. Start engine and lower the pallet fork to the ground.
Extend bucket tilt cylinders until pin (F) releases from
holder strap (E) on each side of attachment. Lower the
loader until holder brackets are free from the hooks.
Back tractor away from attachment.
4. Set parking brake and/or place transmission in PARK.
Shut off engine and remove key.
■
■
Always install the quick lock pins on the John
Deere 400, and 500 series loaders. Failure to install
the lock pins may cause injury or death caused by
falling attachment.
■
■
Do not exceed loader or attachment lift capacity.
