1. Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.
2. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards which cannot be protected against by mechanical
means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using. If there is something in this manual
you do not understand, ask your supervisor, or your dealer, to explain it to you.
THIS SYMBOL MEANS
– ATTENTION!
– BECOME ALERT!
– YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
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.
In order to provide a better view, certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may show an assembly with
a safety shield removed. However, equipment should never be operated in this condition. Keep all shields in
place. If shield removal becomes necessary for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.
To prevent injury or death, use a tractor equipped with a Roll-Over Protective System (ROPS). 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.
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.
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 and Loader
Manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs affixed to the Tractor and the Loader.
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.
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.
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.
EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
524
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
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.
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.
Failure to follow proper procedures when mounting a tire on a wheel or rim can produce an explosion which
may result in serious injury or death.
Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper equipment and experience to do the job.
Inflating or servicing tires can be dangerous. Whenever possible, trained personnel should be called to service and/or mount tires.
Always order and install tires and wheels with appropriate capacity to meet or exceed the anticipated weight
to be placed on the equipment.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued) JDBS-612 PARTS LIST
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 a single careless act of an operator.
Know your controls and how to stop tractor, engine, and implement quickly in an emergency. Read this manual and the one provided with your tractor.
In addition to the design and configuration of 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 equipment.
It has been said, “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that kind of an
operator. It is the operator’s responsibility to read and understand ALL Safety and Operating instructions in the
manual and to follow these. Accidents can be avoided.
Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. A person who has not read
and understood all operating and safety instructions is not qualified to operate the machine. An untrained operator exposes himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or death.
Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual, and the manual for your
tractor, before assembly or operating, to acquaint yourself with the machines. It is the equipment owner’s
responsibility, if this machine is used by any person other than yourself, is loaned or rented, to make certain
that the operator, prior to operating:
1. Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.
2. Is instructed in safe and proper use.
SAFETY TRAINING
Do not allow children to operate this machine.
PREPARATION
Never operate the tractor, loader, and attachment until you have read and completely understand this manual,
the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the Safety Messages found on the safety signs on the tractor,
loader, and attachment.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
The use of any loader attachment is NOT recommended on tractor with a tricycle wheel arrangement. Tricycle
type tractors are unstable for front loader use.
A heavy load can cause instability in driving a tractor. Make sure the front or rear of the tractor is properly
counter-balanced with weights. Always drive slowly – especially around turns. An unstable tractor could steer
badly and possibly tip over, causing injury or death.
Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.
Always check to be sure the loader attachment is properly latched on the loader or that lock pins are installed.
Never permit any person other than the operator to ride or board the tractor or implement at any time. ALLOW
NO RIDERS!
Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs are properly installed and in good condition.
Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended
during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.
Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing or jewelry to be around moving parts.
Operate the loader attachment only with a tractor equipped with an approved Roll-Over Protective System
(ROPS). Always wear your seat belt on tractors equipped with a ROPS. Serious injury or even death could
result from falling off the tractor – particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the
ROPS or the tractor. Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times.
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!
Tractors with or without equipment attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent, partial hearing
loss. We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the Operator’s position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db
adjacent to the Operator over a long-term basis may cause permanent, 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.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY
The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards which cannot be protected against by mechanical
means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read and understand this entire manual, paying particular attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using. If there is something in this manual you do not understand, ask your supervisor, or your dealer, to explain it to you.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
OPERATIONAL SAFETY (contin
ued)
Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all helpers and bystanders at a safe distance.
REMEMBER FALLING BALES CAN ROLL OR TUMBLE.
For operator safety, always keep bale in front of tractor hood. NEVER position bale back over operator.
ALWAYS BE CAREFUL!
When maneuvering close to buildings or passing through narrow areas, be sure to allow sufficient clearance
for the tractor, loader, and bale. Drive slowly.
Always load rear of tractor first and unload last when using a front loader.
Beware of lift clearance when raising loader to maximum height.
Keep alert and watch the rear as well as the front when working with the loader.
Stop loader gradually when lowering or lifting loads.
Operate loader from operator’s seat only. Remain at controls until operating cycle is complete.
Beware of low electrical wires when loader is raised. Serious injury or death can result if contact is made.
Always insert spears into the bale – NEVER under the bale. Failure to insert spears into bale can allow bale
to roll back when loader is raised, causing serious injury or death.
Do not handle bales that exceed the bale weight limitations of the loader. Watch for bales that are frozen to the
ground.
Never use the tractor/loader to stop a rolling bale.
When handling round bales on a slope, always approach the bale with the tractor facing uphill.
Only use a tractor equipped with a ROPS cab or rollover protective structure. Keep foldable ROPS systems in
“locked up” position at all times. Keep seat belt fastened.
When stacking bales, ALWAYS MAKE SURE BALES ARE PLACED SO THE STACK IS STABLE.
Operate the loader controls smoothly, avoiding jerky operation.
Carry the bale slowly and as low as possible to the ground.
