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 8. To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit, always disconnect the battery's ground cable (-) first and reconnect it last. (1) Parking brake lever 5. TRANSPORTING 1. Disengage power to attachment(s) when transporting or not in use. 2. Do not tow this vehicle. Use a suitable truck or trailer when transporting on public roads. 3. Use extra care when loading or unloading the vehicle into a trailer or truck. 6.
SAFE OPERATION 15. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure has sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, be sure to release all residual pressure. Before applying pressure to the hydraulic system, make sure that all connections are tight and that all lines, pipes, and hoses are free of damage. "High pressure fluid - Injection into body" hazard warning. 16. Fluid escaping from pinholes may be invisible.

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 personal injury: 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 personal injury: A Read "SAFE OPERATION" in front of this manual. A Read 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 2. Set the range gear shift lever to the "NEUTRAL" position. (1) Range gear shift lever (H) HIGH Range (M) MEDIUM Range (L) LOW Range (R) "REVERSE" (N) "NEUTRAL" POSITION 4. Push the speed control pedal down about 1/2 way. (1) Speed control pedal ( ( (A) "LOCK" (A) "INCREASE" (B) "DECREASE" 5. Insert the key into the key switch and turn it "ON". 3.

12 OPERATING THE ENGINE C Check Easy Checker(TM) Lamps: 1. When the key is turned "ON", lamps(2)(3) 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 fluid may be low or the brake system may be damaged.
OPERATING THE ENGINE STOPPING THE ENGINE 1. After slowing the engine to idle, turn the key to "OFF". 2. Remove the key. WARMING UP To avoid personal injury: 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 to the "NEUTRAL" position with restricting plate during warm-up. For 5 minutes after engine start-up, allow the engine to warm up without applying any load.
14 OPERATING THE ENGINE (1) Dead battery (2) Lay a damp rag over the vent caps (3) Jumper cables (4) 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, of course, 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 "broken-in.
16 OPERATING THE VEHICLE 2. Selecting light switch position. BHead Light Switch The head light switch is operative when the key switch is in the "ON" position.
