Safety Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner can result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury, comply with these safety instructions and always pay attention to the safety alert symbol, which means CAUTION, WARNING, or DANGER—“personal safety instruction.” Failure to comply with the instruction may result in personal injury or death.
Safety • Do not over-load the attachment and always keep the load level when raising the loader arms. Logs, boards, and other items could roll down the loader arms, injuring you. • Raising the loader arms on a slope will affect the stability of the machine. Whenever possible, keep the loader arms in the lowered position when on slopes. • Never jerk the control levers; use a steady motion. • • Keep your hands, feet, hair, and loose clothing away from any moving parts.
Safety • Do not operate on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding. • Keep nuts and bolts tight. Keep equipment in good condition. • Do not park the traction unit on a hillside or slope without lowering the attachment to the ground and chocking the wheels. • Never tamper with safety devices. Check safety systems for proper operation before each use. • • Do not try to stabilize the traction unit by putting your foot on the ground.
Safety • Keep your body and hands away from pin hole leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure hydraulic fluid. Use cardboard or paper to find hydraulic leaks. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate skin and cause injury requiring surgery within a few hours by a qualified surgeon or gangrene may result.
