SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation to trouble.
Follow good shop practices.
- Keep service area clean and dry.
- Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.
- Use adequate light for the job at hand.
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never operate the engine of the prime mover in a closed building. The
exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.
Before working on this machine, drive to a level area, disengage the PTO, lower implement (or if working
underneath, raise and block securely), shut off the engine, set the brakes, and remove the ignition keys.
Be certain all moving parts on attachments have come to a complete stop before attempting to perform
maintenance.
Never work under equipment unless it is blocked securely. Never depend on hydraulic system to keep imple-
ment in raised position.
Always use personal protection devices such as eye, hand and hearing protectors, when performing any
service or maintenance.
Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.
Periodically tighten all bolts, nuts and screws and check that all cotter pins are properly installed to ensure unit
is in a safe condition.
When completing a maintenance or service function, make sure all safety shields and devices are installed
before placing unit in service.
Never use your hands to locate a hydraulic leak on attachments. Use a small piece of cardboard or wood.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin.
Openings in the skin and minor cuts are susceptible to infection from hydraulic fluid. If injured by escaping
hydraulic fluid, see a doctor at once. Gangrene and death can result. Without immediate medical treatment,
serious infection and reactions can occur.
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
OWNER SERVICE
Check the pins at the ends of the loader arms. Make
sure they are locked in place.
Periodically check all bolts to make sure they are tight.
Check the bolt on the forged spears to make sure it is
tight.
Lubricate loader as per instructions in loader manual.
Replace safety signs and instruction decals if damaged
or missing.
Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately. Do
not use attachment with any damaged parts.
WARNING!
Always stop the tractor, set brake, shut off engine,
remove key, and lower loader to ground before
attempting to service. Never leave equipment unat-
tended with engine running.
WARNING!
Do not work under a raised loader unless it is
securely blocked or held in position. Do not depend
on the hydraulic system to hold loader and attach-
ment in place.
REPLACE SAFETY SIGNS
IF DAMAGED OR MISSING.

STORAGE
——————————————————
• Never store equipment with fuel in the tank inside a
building where fumes may reach an open flame or
spark. Allow engine to cool before storing in an
enclosure.
• Do not run engine indoors – exhaust gasses contain
carbon monoxide, and odorless and deadly poison.
• At the end of the working season or when the attach-
ment will not be used for a long period, it is good
practice to clean off any dirt or grease that may have
accumulated.
• Inspect the attachment for loose, damaged or worn
parts and adjust or replace if needed.
• Sand areas where paint is chipped or worn and repaint
to prevent rust.
• Storage location should be level and solid to make
hitching and unhitching easy.
• Always store in a clean, dry location away from chil-
dren and livestock.
