SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of equipment.
Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every year many
accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to
handling equipment.You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions in this
section. To avoid personal injury, study the following precautions and insist those working with you, or for you,
follow them. Review the safety instructions with all users annually.
This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The operator should be a
responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this equipment’s operations. Do not allow per-
sons to operate or assemble this unit until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough
understanding of the safety precautions and of how it works.
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination while operating this
equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while taking prescription medications.
Replace any CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER or instruction safety sign that is not readable or is missing.
Location of such safety signs is indicated in this booklet. Do not paint over, remove or deface any safety signs
or warning signs on your equipment. Observe all safety signs and practice the instruction on them.
Only use a power unit equipped with a ROPS cab or rollover protective structure. Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times. Keep seat belt fastened.
Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely, is in question –
DON’T TRY IT.
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or safety and
could affect the life of the equipment.
Know your controls and how to stop skid steer, tractor, engine, and loader quickly in an emergency. Read this
manual and the one provided with your tractor or skid steer.
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 Instructions in each of the appropriate sections of the Tractor, Skid Steer,
and Implement Manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs affixed to the Tractor, Skid Steer, and the
Implement.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
OPERATIONAL SAFETY
Start prime mover only when properly seated in the operator’s seat. Starting a prime mover in gear can result
in injury or death. Do not mount or dismount while the prime mover is moving. Mount or dismount only when
the prime mover and all moving parts are completely stopped.
Operate the prime mover and/or implement controls only while properly seated in the prime mover’s seat with
the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the tractor or implement may cause
serious injury or death.
Keep all helpers and bystanders twenty-five feet (25’) from an operating power unit and attached equipment.
Only properly trained people should operate this machine. It is recommended the tractor be equipped with a
Rollover Protection System (ROPS) and a seat belt that is used. Always stop the tractor, skid steer, or forklift,
set brake, shut off the engine, remove the ignition key, and lower loader and attachment to the ground before
dismounting. Never leave equipment unattended with the engine running.
Please remember it is important that you read and heed the safety signs on the front loader attachment and
loader, and the safety rules set forth. Clean or replace all safety signs if they cannot be clearly read and understood. They are there for your safety as well as the safety of others. The safe use of this machine is strictly
up to you, the operator.
Be sure power unit is in good condition. Read all the safety precautions and make sure all operators are familiar with the safety rules of operation.
Never leave the prime mover and implement unattended while the implement is in the lifted position. Accidental
operation of lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause sudden drop of unit with injury or death by crushing.
A heavy load can cause instability in driving a power unit. Make sure the front or rear of the power unit is
properly counter-balanced with weights. Always drive slowly – especially around turns. An unstable power unit
could steer badly and possibly tip over, causing injury or death.
When the use of hand tools is required to perform any part of assembly, installation, adjustment, maintaining,
repairing, removal, or moving the implement, be sure the tools used are designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer for that specific task.
Never allow children to play on or around prime mover 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.
Always use two people to handle heavy, unwieldy components during assembly, installation, removal, or
moving the loader attachment.
Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement should occur during assembly,
installation, operation, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
OPERATIONAL SAFETY (continued)
Do not allow children or others to ride on the power unit with an operator. Riders are subject to injury such as
being struck by foreign objects or being thrown off. Riders obstruct the operator’s view resulting in unsafe operation. Never allow anyone to ride on the implement!
Before you operate any equipment, check over all pins, bolts and connections to be sure all are securely in
place. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.
Check that this attachment is securely mounted to the loader. Failure to install lock pins or have the latching
mechanism engage could result in injury or death.
Do not work under a raised loader unless it is securely blocked or held in position. Do not depend on the power
unit hydraulic system to hold the implement in place.
Operate the loader controls smoothly, avoiding jerky operation. Stop loader gradually when lowering or lifting
loads.
Beware of low electrical wires when loader is raised. Serious injury or death can result if contact is made.
Do not lift round bales.
When handling material on a slope, always approach the material with the power unit facing uphill.
When stacking material, ALWAYS MAKE SURE MATERIAL IS PLACED SO THE STACK IS STABLE.
Keep all bystanders at a safe distance. REMEMBER FALLING ITEMS CAN ROLL OR TUMBLE.
Do not handle loads that exceed the weight limitations of the loader or forks.
Carry the loads slowly and as low as possible to the ground. Avoid excessive speed during operation.
Completely engage load before lifting. Fork length should be at least two-thirds of load length. It is recommended to keep lifting surface of the forks level at all times. When backward tilt is required to stabilize the load, use
extreme caution.
Keep alert and watch the rear as well as the front when working with the loader. Beware of lift clearance when
raising loader to maximum height.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
OPERATIONAL SAFETY (continued)
Be certain the power unit is in neutral or park position before starting engine.
Always shut off power unit and shift to “Park” or set brakes when leaving unit. Always lower bucket or
attachment to ground, relieve all hydraulic pressure. Remove key when leaving equipment unattended. Park in
level area.
Do not use the fork tines for prying or any purpose other than lifting.
Use extreme care when working on inclines and hillsides. Do not operate close to ditches, creeks or holes.
Slow down when operating over rough ground.
When maneuvering close to buildings or passing through narrow areas, be sure to allow sufficient clearance
for the power unit, loader, and load. Drive slowly. Allow for additional length of loader and load on power unit
while turning.
Keep load centered on attachment and loader. Unbalanced loads increase possibility of tipping or roll-over.
Secure the load properly. Unsecured loads can fall unexpectedly.
Never lift a load with one fork.
Be sure that people, livestock, or pets are not standing near the machine while operating. Never allow anyone
to walk or work under a raised loader.
Do not lift or carry anyone on loader or in bucket or on attachment. Do not use loader for a work platform.
ALWAYS lower loader to the ground or block securely before performing any maintenance work.
Always keep power unit on solid footing when operating loader.
Observe Safety Recommendations in loader instruction manual.
Inspect the entire machine periodically as indicated in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Look for loose
fasteners, worn or broken parts, pinched hydraulic hoses, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have
cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining this machine in good working order.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
TRANSPORT SAFETY
Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm machinery on public roads.
The use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some localities prohibit their use.
Local laws should be checked for all highway lighting and marking requirements.
When driving the tractor and equipment on the road or highway under 20 mph (32 kph) at night or during the
day, use flashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem.
Always be sure the implement is in the proper raised position for transport.
Reduce speed when transporting mounted implements to avoid bouncing and momentary loss of steering
control.
Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.
Do not drink and drive!
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.
Turn curves or go up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual steering angle. Make certain that at
least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow down on rough or
uneven surfaces, and loose gravel.
Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on hillside, over rough ground and
when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners.
Never allow riders on either power unit or implement. Falling off can kill.
Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations, including narrow bridges, intersections, etc.
Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Reduce speed on rough roads and surfaces.
Always disengage PTO before driving the tractor to transport the implement from one place to another.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
MAINTENANCE SAFETY
Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation to trouble.
Before working on this machine, drive to a level area, disengage the PTO, lower implement or loader (or if
working underneath, raise and block securely), shut off the engine, relieve all hydraulic pressure, set the
brakes, and remove the ignition keys.
Never work under equipment unless it is blocked securely. Never depend on hydraulic system to keep implement in raised position.
Do not use blocking made of concrete blocks, logs, buckets, barrels or any other material that could suddenly
collapse or shift positions. Use only good quality blocking material.
Never operate controls from the ground. Operate the controls only from the operator’s station.
Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.
Always use personal protection devices such as eye, hand and hearing protectors, when performing any
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.
Check to ensure all safety signs are installed and in good condition.
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.
If equipment has been altered in any way from original design, the manufacturer does not accept any liability
for injury or warranty.

pressure and remove the ignition keys.
Store the unit in an area away from human activity. Do not permit children to play on or around the stored unit.
Do not park equipment where it will be exposed to livestock for long periods of time. Damage and livestock
injury could result.
Make sure all parked machines are on a hard, level surface and engage all safety devices. Storage location
should be level and solid to make connecting and unconnecting to power unit easy.
If blocking is used, make sure it is solid and secure before leaving area.
SAFETY SIGNS
Keep safety signs clean and legible at all times.
Replace safety signs that are missing or have become illegible.
Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign should also display the current sign.
Safety signs are available from your Distributor or Dealer Parts Department or the factory.
How to Install Safety Signs:
Be sure that the installation area is clean and dry. Be sure temperature is above 50°F (10°C).
Decide on the exact position before you remove the backing paper.
Remove the smallest portion of the split backing paper. Align the sign over the specified area and carefully
press the small portion with the exposed sticky backing in place.
Slowly peel back the remaining paper and carefully smooth the remaining portion of the sign in place. Small
air pockets can be pierced with a pin and smoothed out using the piece of sign backing paper.
SAFETY SIGNS
BE CAREFUL!
Use a clean, damp cloth to clean
safety decals. Avoid spraying too
close to decals when using a pressure washer; high-pressure water
can enter through very small
scratches or under edges of decals
causing them to peel or come off.
REMEMBER:
If Safety Signs have been damaged, removed, become illegible or
parts replaced without Signs, new
Safety Signs must be applied. New
Safety Signs are available from your
authorized distributor or factory.

INSTRUCTIONS
TRACTOR AND LOADER/SKID
STEER REQUIREMENTS AND
PREPARATION
——————————————————
The required size of the tractor and front loader or skid
steer will be determined by the weight of the load to be
handled.
Always use a tractor and front loader or skid steer large
enough to safely handle the load.
Check your tractor and front loader or skid steer to
make sure they are in good working condition. Check all
frame mounting bolts to make sure they are tight.
Loaders that attach to the tractor frame rails should
have a cross-tie installed for stability.
Check the hydraulic system. Be sure the hydraulic oil
and filter have been serviced according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Be sure tires and rims are in good condition. Inflate
tires to the proper recommended air pressure.
When lifting loads with a tractor front loader, it is always
best to have a heavy implement or weight box connected
to the rear 3 pt. hitch.
The load rating of all pallet forks is figured with the load
20” in front of the fork lift frame and evenly distributed
between the two fork tines.
NEVER put load at the ends of the fork tines – the lift
capacity at the ends of the forks is only about 1/3 of the
total lift capacity.
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of
this equipment. The operator must be properly trained.
Operators should be familiar with the power unit, loader
and loader attachment, and all safety practices before
starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety signs
on pages 3-11.
NOTE: Loose items such as logs can slide sideways,
thus putting all their weight on one fork. This can
bend forks.

to best attach the loader mounting brackets so the front
loader attachment is centered on your loader.
Assemble the four (4) lift brackets on the main frame
with the 5/8” x 3” I.D. U-bolts. Leave the U-bolts loose.
Measure the width of each loader arm at the lower end
(where the lower pin goes through). Then position the
mounting brackets on each side for this width plus 1/8”-
1
/4”. This will keep the loader attachment from having
excessive side movement.
NOTE: The width of the loader arms will vary with the different makes and models of loaders. Depending on the
width of your loader and the relationship to the width of
the front loader attachment, you may need to use one of
the bracket mounting arrangements shown below. The
majority of loaders will best use the normal mounting
arrangement as shown in “A”.
Tighten the U-bolts that connect the brackets to the
main frame

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION
——————————————————
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out
by an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention
are dependent upon the awareness, concern, judgement, and proper training of personnel involved in the
operation, transport, maintenance and storage of
equipment.
It has been said “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator.
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of
this equipment. The operator must be properly trained.
Operators should be familiar with the equipment, the
tractor, and all safety practices before starting operation.
Read the safety rules and safety decals on pages 3
through page 11.
WARNING
■■
Rear ballast is required to ensure 25% of gross
vehicle weight is transferred to the rear axle.
Attachment and load must be included as weight.
Adequate rear weights are required to counterbalance maximum loader capacity and safe loader operation. Weight can be added as rear tire liquid, rear
wheel weights, rear axle weights and/or three point
hitch mounted ballast or implement. Ballasting will
vary with tractor and loader attachment. Refer to the
Tractor manual for recommended ballasting.
■■
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
■■
Keep bystanders away from equipment.
■■
Never allow riders on power unit or attachment.
Be sure tractor or skid steer is properly counter-
balanced with weights before attempting to lift any load.
WARNING
■■
Do not operate this product until you have positive indication that this attachment is securely
mounted to the loader. Failure to install lock pins or
have the latching mechanism engaged could result
in injury or death.
■■
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death from
being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times.
■■
Pallet Forks are NOT to be used for large round
bales, as this would create a hazardous condition.
DANGER
Beware of low electrical wires when loader is
raised. Serious injury or death can result if contact is
made.
Do not leave the operator’s seat if any part of the
power unit, loader or attachment contacts electric
lines.
Make sure fork latch is properly engaged.
Using the bucket tilt cylinders, adjust the angle of the
fork tines so they are parallel with the ground.
Adjust height of fork tines to enter the pallet to be
handled. Always keep the load or pallet as close to the
pallet fork main frame as possible.
Make sure weight of load is centered between the
forks.
Make sure all operators have read the Owner’s
Manual and are familiar with the instructions and the safety rules of operation.
CAUTION
■■
Avoid carrying loose or shiftable loads. Falling
items could cause injury.
■■
Beware of lift clearance when raising loader to
maximum height.
■■
Always stop the power unit, set brake, shut off
engine, remove key, and lower loader to ground
before attempting to service. Never leave equipment
unattended with engine running.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
OPERATION (continued)
——————————————————
CAUTION
A heavy load can cause your prime mover to tip
over. When moving heavy loads, keep the load low,
go slowly around turns, and be sure the prime mover
is properly counter-balanced with weights.
OPERATE LOADER SAFELY
——————————————————
• Adjust the spacing of the forks so they engage the pallet or load at its maximum width and then approach the
load in such a fashion that the weight will be centered
between the fork tines. The heaviest side should be
closest to the fork frame and not near the tips of the
fork tines.
• Before lifting make certain the fork tines are completely under the load and level. (Fork length should be at
least two-thirds of load length).
• Lift the load slightly to make sure the load is stable. If
load appears unstable, lower and reposition the tines
to achieve full stability.
TRANSPORTING
——————————————————
CAUTION
When traveling on public roads, whether at night or
during the day, use accessory light and devices for
adequate warnings to operators of other vehicles.
Comply with all federal, state and local laws.
WARNING
■■
Transport the loaded pallet fork at a slow speed
and with the loader at the lowest transport position
to avoid tipping or upsetting, which could result in
serious injury or death.
■■
Operate up and down slopes with the heavy end
of the machine uphill. Carrying a load with the pallet
fork attachment will make the front end heavy.
When going up or down hill, the machine could
overturn if the heavy end is toward the downhill side.
Someone may be pinned or seriously injured if the
machine overturns.
• Raise the load to the MINIMUM height required for the
terrain.
• During transportation; keep the fork tines level, gradually accelerate and brake, slow down before turning
and avoid any obstacles, bumps or holes. Check load
frequently to ensure stability.
• Start lifting slowing and smoothly. Lift speeds can be
slightly increased once the load has started moving
and appears to be stable.
• If the load starts to lean or move, lower to the ground
and reposition.
• Lower the load gently until the weight of the load is
securely resting on the landing point and the forks are
free to be retracted from under the load.
• Allow for additional length of loader and attachment on
power unit while turning.
• Check visibility. If visibility is impaired, reduce speed or
consider other means of transport.
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
——————————————————
Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately. Do
not use attachment with any damaged parts.
WARNING
■■
Always stop the tractor or skid steer, set brake,
shut off engine, remove key, and lower loader to
ground before attempting to service. Never leave
equipment unattended with engine running.
■■
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 attachment in place.
■■
Keep all persons away from operator control area
while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.
IMPORTANT: Before removing the forks from the load
check landing point for any indications of overloading. If there is any indication that the landing point
cannot handle the weight of the load, pick the load
back up and lower it to the ground.
Storage location should be level and solid to make
hitching and unhitching easy. Store in a clean, dry location away from children and livestock.

•
Reduce speed when transporting mounted implements
to avoid bouncing and momentary loss of steering
control.
• A heavy load can cause instability of the tractor. Use
extreme care during road travel. Slow down on turns and
watch out for bumps. Tractor may need front counterweights to counter-balance the weight of the implement.
•
Reduce speed on hillsides or curves so there is no
danger of tipping.
•
Avoid driving too close to the edge of ditches or creeks.
•
Do not transport implement on public roads without
reflectors and slow moving vehicle emblem in daylight
and with approved warning lights at night and other
periods of poor visibility.
• Due to the width of some implements, use extra caution
on highways, farm roads, and when approaching gates.
• Always be sure the implement is in the proper position for
transport.
• Keep alert and watch the front as well as the rear when
working with the implement.
