SAFETY

Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or

Implement. Usually, 16-17 year-old children who are mature and responsible can operate the implement with adult supervision, if they have read and understand the Operator’s Manuals, been trained in proper operation of the tractor and Implement, and are physically large enough to reach and operate the controls easily.

Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.

Falling off can result in serious injury or death.

Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off the Equipment and be injured or killed. Inadvertent contact with controls can cause the Implement to shift or fall crushing themselves or others.

DO NOT use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the

Tractor and Implement. Drugs and alcohol will affect an operator’s alertness and coordination and therefore affect the operator’s ability to operate the equipment safely. Before operating the Tractor or Implement, an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must consult a medical professional regarding any side effects of the medication that would hinder their ability to operate the Equipment safely. NEVER knowingly allow anyone to operate this equipment when their alertness or coordination is impaired. Serious injury or death to the operator or others could result if the operator is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. (SG-27)

Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Never walk or work under any raised boom or bucket. The Boom could fall and cause serious bodily injury or death. Always lower the boom and bucket flat on the ground or support the Boom and bucket on safety stands. Unload all hydraulic actuators prior to performing any maintenance. To do this, set the bucket on the ground then kill the tractor engine. Push and pull the control levers in and out several times to remove pressure. Do not work under raised Boom or Bucket unless components are securely blocked up to prevent inadvertent dropping.

Operator Safety Instructions and Practices

SAFETY

Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and Implement. Learn how to stop the tractor engine suddenly in an emergency. Never allow inexperienced or untrained personnel to operate the Tractor or Implement without supervision. Make sure the operator has fully read and understood the manuals prior to operation.

(SG-4)

The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats, safety shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all times for protection from injury including injury from items that may be thrown by the equipment.

PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE

PERMANENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without an Implement attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent hearing loss. We recommend that you always wear hearing protection if the noise in the Operator’s position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db over an extended period of time will cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db adjacent to the Operator over an extended period of time will cause permanent or total hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noise [from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the ear] is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery.

Always read carefully and comply fully with the manufacturer’s instructions when handling oil, solvents, cleansers, and any other chemical agent.

Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health.

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

SAFETY

Prolonged operation may cause operator boredom and fatigue affecting safe operation.

Take scheduled work breaks to help prevent these potentially impaired operating conditions. Never operate the Implement and Tractor in a fatigued or bored mental state which impairs proper and safe operation.

Use extreme caution when getting onto the Implement to perform repairs, maintenance and when removing accumulated material. Only stand on solid flat surfaces to ensure good footing. Use a ladder or raised stand to access high spots which cannot be reached from ground level. Slipping and falling can cause serious injury or death.

Use extreme care when loading, carrying or handling any agricultural fertilizers, chemicals or biological residue. Follow the manufacturer’s handling instructions and wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment including gloves, safety glasses and respirator when required. If you are using a tractor equipped with a cab, make sure the cab is rated for appropriate environmental exposure. Be safe and always wear proper protection. Short or long term exposure to certain chemicals and materials can result in serious injury or death.

Repeated or substantial breathing of hazardous dusts, including crystalline silica, could cause fatal or serious respiratory disease including silicosis. Concrete, masonry, many types of rock, and various other materials contain silica sand. California lists respirable crystalline silica as a substance known to cause cancer. Operation of this equipment under certain conditions may generate airborne dust particles that could contain crystalline silica. In those conditions, personal protective equipment including an appropriate respirator must be used. If excessive dust is generated, a dust collection or suppression system should also be used during operation.

SAFETY

Equipment Operation Safety Instructions and Practices

This Implement may be wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting this equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails, concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death. Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles.

SAFETY

Do Not operate this equipment in areas where insects such as bees may attack you and/or cause you to lose control of the equipment. If you must enter in such areas, use a tractor with an enclosed Cab and close the windows to prevent insects from entering. If a tractor cab is not available, wear suitable clothing including head, face, and hand protection to shield you from the insects. Attacking insects can cause you to lose control of the tractor, which can result in serious injury or death to you or bystanders. Never dismount a moving tractor.

Keep bystanders 10 feet away from the tractor and loader while operating. The bystanders could enter the path of the tractor or items could fall from the loader resulting in serious injury to the bystander.

For added safety when lifting loads above the height of the operator, install a certified Falling Object Protective Structure. Shiftable loads, round bales, large loose items, and loader attachments can fall toward the operator resulting in serious injury or death. Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) rated Cab may be obtained from the tractor dealer or other sources. (SL-02)

SAFETY

Before dismounting the tractor and loader lower the loader to the ground or onto solid support blocks. Engage the loader valve travel lock to prevent inadvertent movement of the valve controls causing the loader to suddenly move and drop. Sudden dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious injury. (SL-05)

Use extra care when turning or stopping. Allow for increased length and weight of added loader. The loader adds five to six feet of length in front of the tractor and significant weight. Allow extra distance when stopping or turning. Do not allow loader or attachment to contact solid objects.

Do not raise the loader into an overhead structure or allow a raised attachment to contact overhead structures. Sudden or unexpected contact with an overhead structure could result in serious injury.

(SL-09)

SAFETY

Do not let the loader or attachment contact electrical power lines. Contact with electrical power lines can result in serious injury or electrocution. If the loader attachment contacts a power line remain in the tractor seat until the power has been shut off. Stepping off the tractor can permit electrical current to pass through the body resulting in electrocution.

Store the grapple bucket or bale spear attachment with the point(s) on the ground. Walking into the point of the bale or grapple spear can cause serious bodily injury. Never drive the bale spear or grapple bucket attachment forward if a bystander is in front of the loader. (SL-10)

Only mount the loader on a tractor that is listed on the mounting instructions. Never mount on a tricycle steering front axle. Move the tractor front and rear wheels to the widest spacing and add the recommended rear tractor ballast to prevent tractor tip over. Keep the tractor tires properly inflated. Maintain at least 25% of the total Tractor and Loader weight including the maximum load in the bucket or attachment on the rear axle. Always wear your seatbelt and make sure the ROPS structure is fully deployed to prevent serious injury or death from the tractor tipping over.

Carry the loader and attachment low when transporting to reduce the potential of the tractor tipping over. Transport on slopes only at slow speeds and use gradual turning angles. Tractor wheel contact with any wash out, drop off or ground obstruction with a raised loader could result in the tractor tipping over and causing serious injury.

Do not work from the loader or attachments. Do now allow any riders on the loader, tractor or attachments. Falling off the loader could result in serious injury and/or tractor run over. (SL-14)

4211-4211SS 01/11

Safety Section 1-8

(SL-17)

(SL-16)

SAFETY

Do not use an attachment that is not securely attached to the quick hitch, The attachment could fall resulting in severe crushing injuries or death to the operator or bystanders.

•Rotate both hitch pin levers down to the locked position. You should feel a firm resistance when locking the levers down. The pins must extend through the slots in the bottom of the attachment bracket.

•Examine the fit between the quick hitch and the bottom of the attachment bracket. The pins must extend through the slots in the bottom of the attachment bracket. The tapered side of each pin must be firmly wedged against the surface of the slot on the bottom of the attachment bracket. The attachment bucket should fit snugly against the bottom of the quick hitch bracket. If there is a gap of more than 1/8” or if the pins are not firmly seated do not use the attachment. Contact your dealer before using the attachment.

•On level ground, tilt the attachment down 90° degrees and lower it to the ground. Lower the loader further to slightly raise the front of the tractor off the ground. Drive the tractor in reverse while the attachment is on the ground for 20-30 feet to ensure the attachment does not disconnect. If the attachment disconnects during this process, discontinue the use of the attachment and contact your dealer.

NEVER walk or work under or allow any person to be underneath a raised loader or attachment. (SL-15)

Do not operate the loader from the ground. Operate the tractor and loader only while seated in the tractor seat with the seatbelt fastened. The loader could fall crushing a person resulting in serious injury or death.

Use extreme care when piling material above 6 feet high. Material could shift and fall onto the operator or bystanders. The material could crush or suffocate the operator or bystander resulting in serious injury or death.

SAFETY

Know before you DIG. Call 888-258-0808 and request that all buried utilities locations be identified before digging in unfamiliar ground. Do not let the loader or attachment contact buried electrical power lines, utilities or gas lines. Contact with electrical power lines can result in serious bodily injury or electrocution. If the loader contacts a power line, remain in the tractor seat until the power has been shut off. Stepping off the tractor can permit electrical current to pass through the body resulting in electrocution.

Do not use loader as a jack to raise the tractor tires off the ground. The loader could fail causing the tractor and loader to fall to the ground resulting in serious injury.

Use extreme care when loading, transporting or dumping loads that impair or partially block the operator’s line of sight. Know where you are traveling. Make sure no bystanders are in the area of travel. If a bystander assists in providing guidance, make sure they are not in the path of travel. Keep all bystanders 25 feet away from travel path.

Always look behind you before backing up. Make sure you are looking in the direction of travel. A bystander could walk behind the tractor. Running into a bystander can result in serious injury or death.

Some tractors are equipped with a “Super Steer” front axle. When a loader is mounted to this type of tractor, the bucket will shift in the opposite direction from which the wheels are turned. Maximum shift will be approximately 8 inches and most noticeable when the tractor is stationary. Sudden or unexpected movement of the loader and attachment could result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

(SL-33)

Operate the tractor and loader only in conditions where you have clear visibility in daylight or with adequate artificial lighting. Never operate in darkness or foggy conditions where you cannot clearly see at least 100 feet in front and to the sides of the tractor. Make sure you can clearly see bystanders, ditches, steep slopes, drop-offs, overhead obstructions, power lines, and debris or obstruction in the travel path. If you are unable to clearly see these types of items discontinue operating. Contact with unseen vehicles, bystanders, obstructions, or drop-offs can cause serious injury.

Be particularly careful in transport. The Implement has raised and moved the center of gravity to the front of the Power Unit increasing the possibility of overturn and tipping forward. Turn curves or go up slopes only at low speed and using a gradual turning angle. Go up slopes with the Implement located uphill. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces.

SAFETY

Never leave the Implement and Power Unit unattended while the Implement is in the raised position. Accidental operation of a lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause the implement to suddenly fall causing serious injury or possible death to anyone who might inadvertently be under the Implement. Lower the implement carefully to the ground. Do not put hands or feet under lifted components.

The center of gravity of a Power Unit equipped with a front-mounted Implement is shifted to the front and removes weight from the rear wheels. The Power Unit should maintain at least 25% total weight with the maximum load in the bucket or attachment on the rear wheels to prevent tipping forward, loss of steering control, and possible injury. Add counterweight if required when operating on slopes and proceed with the load uphill to prevent tipping. Reference the Power Unit’s Operator’s Manual or an authorized dealer for information on adding additional weight.

Make sure the hydraulic quick disconnects are fully seated into the connections. Do not use the loader if the hydraulic connection is leaking. Leaking oil could allow the loader to fall resulting in a serious crushing injury.

If the loader valve controls fail to functions properly discontinue use of the tractor and loader until the controls are properly repaired. Sudden or unexpected movement or dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious injury.

Make sure all air is purged from the hydraulic system before using the loader. Air in the system can cause the loader to respond sluggishly or with unexpected movement. The air can be purged from the cylinder lines by fully cycling the cylinders several times from the fully closed to fully open position. Sudden or unexpected movement or dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious injury.

Connecting or Disconnecting Implement Safety Instructions and Practices

Do not stand or allow bystander or coworkers between the loader and the tractor while installing or disconnecting the loader from the tractor. Keep hands and body clear of the loader and the loader mounts. Serious injury or death can result from a person being crushed between the tractor and loader.

Never allow anyone to get under the loader or attachment or to reach through the loader lift arms when raised. Serious injury could result from crushing or pinching by the loader or attachment. (SL-06)

Make sure the loader is properly attached to the tractor and the retaining pins securely lock the loader into position. Improper mounting of the loader onto the tractor can result in the loader falling causing serious injury.

Make sure all tractor and loader guards are in place and properly functioning. Do not use an attachment if the roll back guards are damaged or missing. The roll back guards prevents items carried in the attachment from rolling back onto the operator causing serious injury. For added safety when lifting loads above the height of the operator, install a certified Falling Object Protective Structure. (SL-28)

Transporting Safety Instructions and Practices

Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and

how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.

Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by the following rules:

Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the Brakes smoothly to determine the stopping characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases. Determine the maximum transport speed not to exceed 20 mph (30 kph) for transporting this equipment.

Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed through the turn only after you determine that the equipment can be operated at a higher speed. Use extreme care and reduce your speed when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from turning over. Determine the maximum turning speed for you and this equipment before operating on roads or uneven ground.

Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds which allow you to properly control the equipment.

Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you and watch out for the other guy.

Before transporting the tractor and Loader engage the loader valve travel lock to prevent inadvertent contact with the joystick controller causing sudden dropping of the loader and attachment. If the loader attachment, such as a bucket, were to drop suddenly and hit the ground while transporting, the tractor could stop immediately resulting in the operator hitting the steering wheel or flying our of the operator’s seat. Serious injury could result.

Do not raise the loader on a hillside. Do not transport across a slope with a raised loader. When the loader is raised, the center of gravity of the tractor and loader is raised increasing the potential for the tractor to tip over. Tractor wheel contact with any wash out, drop off or the ground obstruction with a raised loader could result in the tractor tipping over and causing serious bodily injury.

SAFETY

Lower the loader to the bed of the truck or trailer when transporting the tractor and loader with a truck. Measure to ensure the transport height does not exceed the legal limits. Contact with overhead obstructions or power lines can cause property damage or serious injury.

Before dismounting the tractor and loader, lower the loader to the ground or onto solid support blocks. Sudden dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious injury.

Transport an empty bale spear tilted back in the vertical position to prevent unintended harm to a person, animal or object. Serious injury or death may occur from a bale spear puncture.

Never drive the power unit with the bucket or plow in the raised position.

Traveling with the bucket or plow in the raised position increases the chances of colliding with overhead obstructions and making the unit more prone to tipping over.

Maintenance and Service Safety Instructions and Practices

READ, UNDERSTAND, and FOLLOW the following Safety Messages. Serious injury or death may occur unless care is taken to follow the warnings and instructions stated in the Safety Messages. Always use good common sense to avoid hazards.

Never interfere with factory-set hydraulic calibrations. Any change in calibration could cause a failure of the equipment and may result in injury. (SBH-13)

Always maintain the safety signs in good readable condition. If the safety signs are missing, damaged, or unreadable, obtain and install replacement safety signs immediately. (SG-5)

Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local traffic regulations.

Storage and Parking Safety Instructions and Practices

Never crawl under or allow children to play around or on a loader that is disconnected from the tractor. The loader could fall crushing a person resulting in serious injury or death. (SL-13)

Do not remove the attachment from the loader when the loader is disconnected from the tractor. The attachment stabilizes the loader. If the attachment is removed, the loader will fall and could result in serious injury.

Only disconnect and store the loader on firm flat ground. Make sure the loader stands are properly installed and rest on firm ground or support blocks. If the stands sink or fail, the loader could fall causing serious injury.

Concluding Safety Instructions and Practices

In addition to the design and configuration of this Implement, including Safety Signs and Safety Equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Refer also to Safety Messages and operation instruction in each of the appropriate sections of the Tractor and Equipment Manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs affixed to the Tractor and Equipment.
