• Safe tractor operation
The tractor was designed to perform a wide
variety of jobs safely. Use your tractor only
for the jobs it was designed to perform:
carrying and operating implements, moving
loads, as a remote power source, and
towing implements. It is not a recreational
or passenger vehicle.
Misuse or careless use of your tractor
or implement can result in unnecessary
accidents. Be aware of operational
hazards.
Understand the causes of accidents and
take every precaution to avoid them. Most
common accidents are caused from:
• Tractor misuse.
• Improper starting procedures
•
Crushing and pinching when hitching
implements
• Collisions with other motor vehicles
• Getting entangled in PTO shafts
• Falls from tractors
• Tractor or implement overturn
Safety Precautions
!
1. Read Operator’s manual
before operating this tractor.
2. Keep all shields in place.
3. Hitch towed loads only to
drawbar to avoid rearward
upset.
4. Make certain everyone is
clear of machine before
starting engine or operation.
5. Keep all riders off tractor
and equipment.
6. Keep hands, feet and
clothing away from power-
driven parts.
7. Reduce speed when turning
or applying individual brakes
CAUTION
or operating around hazards
on rough ground or steep
slopes.
8. Couple brake pedals
together for road travel.
9. Use ashing warning
lights on highway unless
prohibited by law.
10. Stop engine, lower implement
to ground and shift to “PARK”
or set brakes(s) securely
before dismounting.
11. Wait for all movement to stop
before servicing machinery.
12. Remove key if leaving
tractor unattended.
,
Avoid accidents by taking the following
precautions:
Before dismounting, put the transmission in
NEUTRAL and APPLY the PARK BRAKE.
Leaving the transmission in gear with the
engine stopped will NOT prevent the tractor
from moving. Be sure everyone is clear of
the tractor and attached equipment before
starting the engine.
Never try to get on or off a moving tractor.
When the tractor is left unattended, place
the transmission in NEUTRAL, apply
the park brake, lower implements to the
ground, stop the engine and remove the
key.

S-5
Safety Precautions
• Hillside safety
Always wear your seat belt with the ROPS in the up
extended position.
Avoid holes, ditches, and obstructions which could cause
the tractor to tip, especially on hillsides. Avoid sharp, uphill
turns.
Never drive near the edge of a gully or steep embankment,
as it might cave in.
Driving forward out of a ditch or up a steep slope could
cause the tractor to tip over rearward. Back out of these
situations if possible.
While mechanical front wheel drive greatly increases
traction, it DOES NOT increase the stability of the tractor
With mechanical front wheel drive engaged, the tractor can
climb steeper slopes than a two wheel drive tractor can
negotiate, but it does not become more stable. Use extra
caution when negotiating steep slopes in four wheel drive.
Danger of overturn increases greatly with a narrow wheel
track, at high speed, and on slopes.
Hitch towed loads only to the drawbar. When using a chain,
take up the slack slowly.
• Hearing safety
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause hearing loss
or impairment.
Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as earmuffs
or earplugs to protect against hearing loss from loud
noise.
Factory Direct Tr actors
S-6
Safety Precautions
• Use low gear on hills
Shift to a low gear before descending a steep hill. This
improves your control of the tractor with little or no braking.
Use engine braking to reduce speed before applying the
tractor brakes. Run-away tractors often tip over. Never
coast downhill.
When driving on icy, wet or graveled surfaces reduce
speed and be sure the tractor is properly ballasted to avoid
skidding and loss of steering control. For best control,
engage mechanical front wheel drive (if equipped).
Additional ballast may be needed for transporting heavy
linkage mounted implements. When the implement is
raised, drive slowly over rough ground, regardless of how
much ballast is used.
• Operator only
Only allow the operator on the machine. Keep riders off
Riders or passengers on the machine are subject to injury
such as being struck by foreign objects, being jolted and
thrown off, and slipping and falling of the machine. Riders
also obstruct the operator’s view resulting in the tractor
being operated in an unsafe manner.
• Getting out of sticky situations safely
Attempting to free a stuck machine can involve safety
hazards such as the tow tractor tipping backwards and
overturning. The tow chain or tow bar can also fail and recoil
from its stretched condition causing injury and damage.
Back your tractor out if it gets bogged down in mud unhitch
any towed implements. Dig mud from behind the rear
wheels. Place boards behind the wheels to provide a solid
base and try to back out slowly. If necessary, dig mud from
the front of all wheels and drive slowly ahead.
If towing with another unit, use the tow bar and a long chain
(a cable is not recommended). Inspect the chain for aws.
Make sure all parts of the towing equipment are of adequate
size and strong enough to handle the load always hitch to
the drawbar of the towing unit. Do not hitch to the front
push bar attachment point. The hitch point should never be
above the rear drive axles.

S-7
Safety Precautions
Before moving, clear the area of people. Apply power
smoothly to take up the slack. A sudden pull could snap any
towing equipment causing it to whip or recoil dangerously.
• Avoid high-pressure uids
Escaping uid under pressure can penetrate the skin
causing serious injury.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before
applying pressure.
Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands
and body from high pressure uids.
If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any uid
injected into the skin must be surgically removed within
a few hours or gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar
with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable
medical source.
• Park tractor safely
To park tractor safely:
• Disengage the PTO.
• Lower the equipment to the ground.
• Put the gear shift lever into neutral.
• Apply the hand brake.
• STOP the engine.
• Remove the key.
Before you leave the operator’s seat, wait for the engine
and attachment parts to stop moving.
• Fuel and re safety
Handle fuel with care; it is highly ammable. Do not refuel
the machine while smoking or when near open ame or
sparks.
Always stop the engine before refueling the machine Fill
the fuel tank outdoors.
Prevent res by keeping the machine clean of accumulated
trash, grease, and debris. Always clean up spilled fuel.

Safety Precautions
• Prepare for emergencies
Be prepared if a re starts.
Keep a rst aid kit and re extinguisher handy. Keep
emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance service,
hospital, and re department near your telephone.
• Do not use starting uid
DO NOT use starting uid to start Dongfeng tractors.
• Wear protective clothing
Wear close tting clothing and safety equipment appropriate
to the job.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause hearing
impairment or loss.
Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as
earmuffs or earplugs to protect against hearing loss from
uncomfortable loud noises.
Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of the
operator. Do not wear radio or music headphones while
operating the machine.
• Work in ventilated area
Engine exhaust fumes can cause sickness or death. If it is
necessary to run an engine in an enclosed area, remove
the exhaust fumes from the area with an exhaust pipe
extension.
If you do not have an exhaust pipe extension, open the
doors and ventilate the area with clean outside air.
Factory Direct Tr actors
S-9
Safety Precautions
• Avoid contact with pesticides
The enclosed cab does not protect against inhaling harmful
pesticides. Respiratory protection is required. If pesticide /
herbicides are used and respiratory protection is required,
wear an appropriate respirator inside the cab.
Within the cab, wear personal protective equipment as
required by the hazardous chemical safety instructions.
Remove protective equipment and store in a closed box or
some other type of sealable pesticide resistant container,
such as a plastic bag.
Clean your shoes or boots to remove soil or other
contaminated particles prior to entering the cab.
• Stay clear of rotating drivelines
Entanglement in rotating driveline can cause serious injury
or death.
Keep tractor master shield and driveline shields in place at
all times. Make sure rotating shields turn freely. Wear close
tting clothing. Stop the engine and be sure PTO driveline
is stopped before making adjustments, connections, or
cleaning out PTO driven equipment.
• Use safety lights and devices
Avoid collisions with other road users when using slow
moving tractors with attachments or towed equipment, and
self-propelled machines on public roads. Frequently check
for trafc from the rear, especially in turns, and use turn
indicators.
Use headlights, ashing warning lights, and turn indicators
day and night. Follow local regulations for equipment
lighting and marking. Keep lighting and marking visible,
clean, and in good working order.
Replace or repair lighting and marking that has been
damaged or lost. A safety lighting kit is available from your
Dongfeng dealer.

S-10
Safety Precautions
• Safety chains
A safety chain will help control towed equipment should it
accidentally separate from the drawbar.
Using the appropriate adapter parts, attach the chain to the
tractor drawbar support or other specied anchor location.
Provide only enough slack in the chain to permit turning.
See your Dongfeng dealer for a chain with a strength rating
equal to or greater than the gross weight of the towed
machine.
Do not use safety chain for towing.
• Transport safety
A disabled tractor is best transported on a atbed carrier.
Use chains to secure the tractor to the carrier.
Never tow a tractor at a speed greater than 16 km/h
(10mph). An operator must steer and brake the tractor
under tow.
• Tow loads safely
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of
towed loads, and on slopes. Towed loads with or without
brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or are towed too
fast can cause loss of control. Consider the total weight of
the equipment and its size.
Observe recommended maximum road speeds, or local
speed limits which may be lower:
• If towed equipment does not have brakes, do not travel
more than 20 km/hr and do not tow loads more than 1.5
times the tractor weight.
• If towed equipment has brakes, do not travel more than
30 km/hr and do not tow loads more than 3 times the
tractor weight.
Ensure the load does not exceed the recommended
weight ratio. Add ballast to recommended maximum for
tractor, lighten the load, or get a heavier towing unit. The
tractor must be heavy and powerful enough with adequate
braking power for the towed load. Use additional caution
when towing loads under adverse surface conditions, when
turning, and on inclines.
Factory Direct Tr actors
S-11
Safety Precautions
• Keep ROPS installed properly
Make certain all parts are reinstalled correctly if the rollover protective structure (ROPS) is loosened or removed
for any reason. Tighten mounting bolts to proper torque.
The protection offered by ROPS will be impaired if ROPS is
subjected to structural damage, is involved in an overturn
incident, or is in any way altered by welding, bending,
drilling, or cutting. A damaged ROPS should be replaced,
not reused.
• Practice safe maintenance
Understand service procedure before doing work. Keep
area clean and dry.
Never lubricate, service, or adjust machine while it is
moving.
Keep hands, feet, and clothing from power-driven parts.
Disengage all power and operate controls to relieve
pressure.
Lower equipment to the ground. Stop the engine. Remove
the key. Allow machine to cool.
Securely support any machine elements that must be
raised for service work.
Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix
damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts.
Remove any buildup of grease, oil, or debris.
On self-propelled equipment, disconnect battery ground
Cable (-) before making adjustments on electrical systems
or welding on machine.
On towed implements, disconnect wiring harnesses from
tractor before servicing electrical system components or
welding on machine.

S-12
Safety Precautions
• Service cooling system safely
Explosive release of uids from pressurized cooling system
can cause serious burns.
If radiator cap must be removed, do not remove when
engine is hot. Shut engine off and wait until cap is cool
enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly loosen cap to rst
stop to relieve pressure before removing completely.
• Service tractor safely
Do not service the tractor while it is in motion or while the
engine is running.
When servicing front-wheel-drive-equipped tractor with rear
wheels supported off ground and rotating wheels by engine
power, always support front wheels in a similar manner.
Engaging front-wheel drive will pull rear wheels off support
if front wheels are not raised.
Tighten wheel hardware to correct torque as specied
in Wheels, Tyres and Tread section. Torque at intervals
shown in Break-In Period and Lubrication and Maintenance
sections, to ensure that wheel hardware does not loosen.
Reinstall protective covers removed during service.
• Support machine properly
Always lower the attachment or implement to the ground
before you work on the machine. If you must work on a
lifted machine or attachment, securely support the machine
or attachment. If left in a raised position, hydraulically
supported devices can settle or leak down.
Do not support the machine on cinder blocks, hollow tiles,
or props that may crumble under continuous load. Do not
work under a machine that is supported solely by a jack.
Follow recommended procedures in this manual.
When implements or attachments are used with a tractor,
always follow safety precautions listed in the implement
operator’s manual.

Safety Precautions
• Remove paint before welding or heating
Avoid potentially toxic fumes and dust.
Hazardous fumes can be generated when paint is heated
by welding, soldering, or using a torch.
Do all work outside or in a well ventilated area. Dispose of
paint and solvent properly.
Remove paint before welding or heating:
• lf you sand or grind paint, avoid breathing the dust. Wear
an approved respirator.
• lf you use solvent or paint stripper, remove stripper with
soap and water before welding. Remove solvent or paint
stripper containers and other ammable material from
area. Allow fumes to disperse at least 15 minutes before
welding or heating.
• Avoid heating near pressurized uid lines
Flammable spray can be generated by heating near
pressurized uid lines, resulting in severe burns to yourself
and bystanders.
Do not heat by welding, soldering, or using a torch near
pressurized uid lines or other ammable materials.
Pressurized lines can be accidentally cut when heat goes
beyond the Immediate ame area.
• Store attachments safely
Stored attachments such as dual wheels, cage wheels, and
loaders can fall and cause serious injury or death. Securely
store attachments and implements to prevent falling. Keep
playing children and bystanders away from storage area.

S-14
Safety Precautions
• Prevent acid burns
Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is strong
enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing, and cause
blindness if splashed into eyes.
Avoid the hazard by:
1. Filling batteries in a well-ventilated area.
2. Wearing eye protection and rubber gloves.
3. Avoid breathing fumes when electrolyte is added.
4. Avoid spilling or dripping electrolyte.
5. Use proper jump start procedure.
If you spill acid on yourself:
1. Flush your skin with water.
2. Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the acid.
3. Flush your eyes with water for 15—30 minutes.
4. Get medical attention immediately.
If acid is swallowed:
1. Do not induce vomiting.
2. Drink large amounts of water or milk, but do not exceed
w2L (2 quarts).
3. Get medical attention immediately.
• Service tyres safely
Explosive separation of a tyre and rim can cause serious
injury or death.
Do not attempt to mount a tyre unless you have the proper
equipment and experience to perform the job.
Always maintain the correct tyre pressure. Do not inate
the tyres above the recommended pressure. Never weld
or heat a wheel and tyre assembly. The heat can cause an
increase in air pressure resulting in a tyre explosion.
Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.
When inating tyres, use a clip—on chuck and extension
hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and
NOT in front of or over the tyre assembly. Use a safety
cage if available.
Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged
rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Safety Precautions
• Dispose of waste properly
Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the environment
and ecology. Potentially harmful waste used with equipment
includes such items as oil, fuel, coolant, brake uid, lters,
and batteries.
Use leak proof containers when draining uids. Do not use
food or beverage containers that may mislead someone
into drinking from them.
Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into
any water source.
Air conditioning refrigerants escaping into the air can
damage the Earth’s atmosphere. Government regulations
may require a certied air conditioning service center to
recover and recycle used air conditioning refrigerants.

Safety precautions
General
• Your tractor was designed with safety very much in mind. However, there is no real substitute for
caution and attention to prevent accidents. Once an accident has happened, it is too late to think about
what you should have done.
• Read this manual carefully, before attempting to start, operate, service, refuel or carry out any other
adjustments to your tractor. A few minutes dedicated to reading will save time and trouble later.
• Remember that your tractor was designed and produced exclusively for agricultural use. If the owner of
the tractor is to use it for any other purposes, he needs to get the prior authorization from the Manufacturer
in advance.
• Keep a rst aid kit handy.
• Do not wear loose garments that could get caught in moving parts. Check that all rotating parts
connected to the power take-off shaft are tted with safety guards.
• Before operating the tractor, the driver needs to be fully trained in safety and maintenance, and
appropriately authorised before operating the tractor.
• Do not attempt to increase the maximum engine rpm by altering the setting of the fuel injection
system.
• Do not alter the hydraulic pressure relief settings of the hydraulic lift and remote control valves.
• Do not operate the tractor if you feel unwell or physically unt, in which case you should stop working.
Always operate with an undamaged cab or ROPS (roll over protective structure),
complete with all components and correctly installed on the tractor. Periodically check
the mounting bolts for tightness and the frame and structures to make sure they are
free from damage.

Starting the tractor
Before starting the engine, check that the parking brake is on and transmission and PTO are in neutral.
• Make sure all implements are fully lowered to the ground before starting the engine.
• Before starting the engine, make sure that all protective guards and shields are correctly installed on
your tractor.
• Do not attempt to start or drive the tractor unless sitting in the operator’s seat.
• Before moving the tractor, always make sure that there are no people or obstacles within range.
• Do not run the engine inside closed premises without adequate ventilation as exhaust fumes are
harmful to health or may even become deadly.
Tractor operation
Select the wheel track width setting best suited to the work, always keeping tractor stability in mind.
• Engage clutch gradually. Abrupt engagements, particularly if pulling out of a rough area, ditch or muddy
ground, or driving over a steep gradient, may cause dangerous tractor pitching. Immediately disengage
the clutch if front wheels tend to come up off the ground.
• When driving downhill, keep the transmission gear engaged. Never disengage the clutch and never
coast your tractor downhill in neutral.
• With the tractor in motion, the operator should be correctly seated on driver’s seat with the seat belt
fastened.
• Do not get on or off a moving tractor.
• Always press the brake pedal gently.
• Do not corner at high speed.
• Always operate the tractor at a safe speed for the type of ground being worked. When operating on
rough ground, use proper caution to assure tractor stability.

more safety, use a wheel chock on the rear wheels. Be sure to use a wheel chock if parking your tractor
with a trailer on a hill.
Tractor maintenance
• Allow the engine to cool off sufciently before removing the radiator cap. After the engine is shut down
for some time, slowly turn the cap to release pressures before removing it completely.
• Disconnect the negative (-) cable from the battery before starting any work on the electrical system,
parts or components.
• Before disconnecting any hydraulic line or hose, release the oil pressure by moving the hydraulic levers
back and forth for a few seconds with the engine off.
•
Hydraulic oil escaping under pressure could cause serious personal injury. When searching for or
detecting
oil leaks, make sure to use adequate safety protection such as shields, goggles and gloves.
• Prior to carrying out any maintenance on the tractor or connected implement, including inspections,
adjustments and cleaning, make sure that the engine is turned off, transmission is in neutral, brakes are
locked, the power take-off is disengaged and all other moving parts are stationary.
• Do not repair or adjust wheels and tyres unless you have suitable tools and the necessary experience.
Incorrect tyre installation may seriously affect your personal safety. If in any doubt, call a qualied trades
person.
• Do not ll the fuel tank completely when you expect to work in full sunlight as the fuel can expand and
escape. In which case, promptly wipe up any fuel spill.
• Tractor fuel is ammable and may be dangerous. Never refuel while the engine is running, still hot, near
an open ame, or when you are smoking.

Front End Loader Safety
2. Prior To Each Use:
Conduct the following inspections with the equipment in a safe state – implements lowered to the
ground, tractor park brake engaged, drive disengaged, all controls in neutral, engine shut off and
ignition keys removed.
• Inspect the hoses, seals and couplers for leaks in an effort to avoid the possibility of a
dangerous failure to the hydraulic system. Do not operate your loader if any oil leaks exist.
• Inspect the loader for structural damage such as bends or cracks, loose, missing, or
malfunctioning components in an effort to avoid the possibility of a dangerous failure.
• Tighten any loose parts. Replace any damaged or worn parts. Make sure replaced parts are of
equivalent strength and quality. Be certain any repairs necessary are completed prior to loader
operation.
• Check hydraulic oil level in tractor and top up if necessary (refer tractor manual). Check
lubrication points on loader and lubricate if necessary.
3. When Operating
• Before starting your tractor engine make sure all operating controls are in park lock or neutral
position.
• Your tractor must be tted with a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) cab or frame for your
protection. See your tractor operator’s manual for correct seat belt usage.
• Be certain all bystanders are clear of the machine and work area prior to operation.
• Operate the loader unloaded to ensure it is in proper operating condition before starting your
work.
• The use of good judgement is necessary by the operator in using this loader. Use extra
caution when rear wheel weights and tyre ballast are added to a loader-equipped tractor. Do
not ram into compacted or frozen piles of dirt or other material with great momentum where
sudden shock loads are encountered. Serious and costly damage may result to both the
loader and the tractor.
• Operate controls only when seated in the tractor’s seat.
• Never lift, hoist, or carry humans in the bucket or on any portion of the loader or loader
attachments.
• Move slowly! Travel speed should be such that complete control and machine stability is
maintained at all times. Where possible, avoid operating near ditches, embankments and
holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes, and on rough, slick or muddy surfaces.
• Stay off slopes too steep for safe operation. Select low range before travelling up or down a
hill with a heavy load. Avoid “free wheeling”.
• Avoid sudden stops when lowering or lifting the loader boom to prevent loss of control over the
machine and / or loader.
• Never perform maintenance or adjustments on the loader or tractor while in operation.
• A loader attachment should be transported in a low position at slow ground speeds. Make
turns slowly and use the tractor brakes cautiously. A loaded attachment in the raised position
alters the center of gravity of the machine and increases the possibility of mishaps.

Front End Loader Safety
• Do not stand, walk or work under a raised loader or attachment unless it is securely blocked or
held in position. Accidental movement of a control lever or leak in the hydraulic system could
cause the loader to drop, or attachment to dump, causing severe injury.
• Contact with power lines can cause severe electrical burns or death from electrocution. Be
aware of overhead wires and underground services. Ensure no part of the Front end loader
comes in contact with them. Before digging in areas that may contain underground services
contact relevant authorities to identify exact location.
• Before applying hydraulic pressure, make sure all hydraulic connections are tight and
components are in good condition.
• When using a loader, be alert of bucket position at all times. With loader in raised position
rolling bucket back can dump material on tractor causing damage to tractor or injury to
operator.
• When using remote hydraulic tractor valves on some tractors, the loader lifting and dumping
cylinders will continue moving unless the control levers are manually returned to neutral, or
until relief pressure is reached at the ends of piston strokes. Observe the bucket movement
and maintain control with the control levers.
4. Following Operation
• Whenever the machine is not in operation, lower the loader bucket to the ground, engage
tractor park brakes, disengage drive, put all controls in neutral, shut the engine off, and
remove the ignition key before leaving the tractor.
• Make sure all parked loaders on stands are on a hard level surface with all safety devices
engaged to prevent loader from falling and being damaged or injuring someone.
• Always park loader with bucked attached to loader.
5. Performing Maintenance
• Carefully review, understand, and follow the “maintenance” section in this manual before
attempting to service loader.
• To prevent personal injury, lower the bucket or attachment to the ground, shut off tractor
engine, lock out the hydraulic supply and relieve pressure in the hydraulic system before
disconnecting uid lines adjusting, lubrication, or servicing the loader.
• Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under pressures. Use a piece of cardboard
or wood for this purpose. Escaping hydraulic oil or diesel fuel leaking under pressure can have
sufcient force to penetrate the skin and cause infection or other injury. If injured by leaking
uid, seek medical attention immediately.
Caution
• Loader: Do not operate the front end loader while the safety lock-out pins are in place, or major
damage may occur. When the loader is in operation you must engage low range. Failure to
comply will void warranty.
• Operating: This is not an industrial strength bucket. Once the bucket is ‘clammed’ over a heavy or
immovable object (stump), the weight and traction of the tractor can bend or damage the bucket if
it is used incorrectly.

S-23
Front End Loader Safety
• Do not use a bucket to scrape or as a dozer blade, unless the bucket is titled so that the bucket stops
are in contact with the boom. A limited amount of leveling may be done, when the loader valve is
arranged with a oat control. This will prevent damage to cylinder rods.
• Care must be taken with your loader cylinders. Always keep cylinders in a retracted position when the
loader is not in use to guard against rust and contamination which may cause damage to the cylinder
rods or hydraulic system.
• Hydraulics: When parking the tractor, release the hydraulic pressure by shutting down the engine
and place the loader control lever into the ‘Float’ position. After ve seconds, replace the lever to the
neutral position.
Note: Do not operate the three point linkage with the loader control in oat position.
1.3 Safety Decals
Care of Safety Decals
1. Keep safety decals clean and free of obstructing material.
2. Replace damaged or missing safety decals with new decals from your dealer.
3. If a component with a safety decals(s) afxed is replaced with a new part, ensure new safety
decal(s) are attached in the same locations on the replacement components.
Refer below for correct location of decals. Note decals appear on both sides of loader.
