SAFE OPERATION -1 SAFE OPERATION Careful operation is your best insurance against an accident. Read and understand this Operator's Manual carefully before operating the vehicle. All operators, no matter how much experience they may have, should read this and other related manuals before operating the vehicle or any implement attached to it. It is the owner's obligation to instruct all operators in safe operation. 1. BEFORE OPERATING THE VEHICLE 1. Know your equipment and its limitations.
-2 SAFE OPERATION 2. OPERATING THE VEHICLE Operator safety is a priority. Safe operation, specifically with respect to overturning hazards, entails understanding the equipment and environmental conditions at the time of use. Some prohibited uses which can affect overturning hazards include traveling and turning with implements and loads carried too high etc. This manual sets forth some of the obvious risks, but the list is not, and cannot be, exhaustive.
SAFE OPERATION 4. Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill or downhill. Be especially cautious when changing direction on slopes. 5. If vehicle stops or loses power going up a hill, lock parking brake to hold vehicle on slope. Maintain direction of travel and release brake slowly. Back straight downhill while maintaining control. Do not turn vehicle sideways. Vehicle is more stable in a straight forward or rearward position. 6.
-4 SAFE OPERATION 7. SERVICING THE VEHICLE 1. Disengage the HYDRAULIC OUTLET (if equipped), lower all implements to the ground, place all control levers in their neutral positions, set the parking brake, stop the engine, and remove the key. 2. Make sure that the vehicle has come to a complete stop before dismounting. 3. Avoid parking on steep slopes, if at all possible park on a firm and level surface; if not, park across a slope with chock the wheels and always with attachment on the ground.
SAFE OPERATION -5 11. Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate tires above the recommended pressure shown in the operator's manual. (1) Cardboard (2) Hydraulic line (3) Magnifying glass 12. Securely support the vehicle when changing wheels. 13. Make sure that wheel bolts and nuts have been tightened to the specified torque. 14. Do not work under any hydraulically supported devices. They can settle, suddenly leak down, or be accidentally lowered.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK PRE-OPERATION CHECK DAILY CHECK To prevent trouble from occurring, it is important to know the condition of the vehicle well. Check it before starting. To avoid serious injury or death: A Be sure to check and service the vehicle on a level surface with the engine shut off and the parking brake "ON" and implement lowered to the ground if equipped.
10 OPERATING THE ENGINE OPERATING THE ENGINE STARTING THE ENGINE To avoid serious injury or death: A Read and understand "Safe Operation" in front of this manual. A Read and understand the danger, warning and caution labels located on the vehicle. A To avoid the danger of exhaust fume poisoning, do not operate the engine in a closed building without proper ventilation. A Never start engine while standing on ground. Start engine only from operator's seat.
OPERATING THE ENGINE 3. Lock the hydraulic lift cylinder lever or the hydraulic outlet lever to the "NEUTRAL" position with a restricting plate. 5. Insert the key into the key switch and turn it "ON". ( ( (1) Hydraulic lift cylinder lever or Hydraulic outlet lever (2) Restricting plate ) "OFF" (Engine-Stop) ) "ON" (Engine-Run) ( ( ) "GLOW" (Preheat) ) "START" (Engine-Start) (A) "LOCK" 4. Push the speed control pedal down about 1/2 way. (1) Speed control pedal 11 (A) "INCREASE" (B) "DECREASE" ON.
12 OPERATING THE ENGINE C Easy Checker(TM) Lamps: 1. When the key is turned "ON", lamps(3)(4) should come on. If trouble should occur at any location while the engine is running, the warning lamp corresponding to that location comes on. 2. The parking brake warning lamp(1) comes on while parking brake is applied and goes off when it is released. If the parking brake is released but the lamp stays on, it means that the brake system may be damaged. 7.
OPERATING THE ENGINE STOPPING THE ENGINE 1. After slowing the engine to idle, turn the key to "OFF". 2. Return the engine hand throttle to its idle engine speed position. 3. Remove the key. WARMING UP To avoid serious injury or death: A Be sure to set the parking brake during warmup. A Be sure to set the range shift lever to the "NEUTRAL" position and lock the hydraulic lift cylinder lever or the hydraulic outlet lever to the "OFF" position with restricting plate during warm-up.
14 OPERATING THE ENGINE (1) Dead battery (2) Jumper cables (3) Helper battery A This vehicle has a 12 volt negative (-) ground starting system. A Use only same voltage for jump starting. A Use of a higher voltage source could result in severe damage to vehicle's electrical system. Use only matching voltage source when "Jump starting" a low or dead battery.
OPERATING THE VEHICLE 15 OPERATING THE VEHICLE OPERATING NEW VEHICLE How a new vehicle is handled and maintained determines the life of the vehicle. A new vehicle just off the factory production line has been tested, but the various parts are not accustomed to each other, so care should be taken to operate the vehicle for the first 50 hours at a slower speed and avoid excessive work or operation until the various parts become "brokenin." The manner in which the vehicle is handled during the "breaking-in.
16 OPERATING THE VEHICLE 2. Adjust steering position. 4. Selecting light switch position. BTilt Steering Wheel BHead Light Switch Adjust the steering wheel to proper position. The steering wheel can be adjusted while the tilt lever is pulled. The head light switch is operative when the key switch is in the "ON" position. Turn on the key switch and turn the head light switch clockwise to the "ON" position, the head lights light up.
OPERATING THE VEHICLE BHazard Light Switch [if equipped] Press the hazard light switch, the hazard light flash along with the indicator on the instrument panel.
