SAFETY SECTION Safety Section 1-1
SAFETY General Safety Instructions and Practices A careful operator is the best operator. Safety is of primary importance to the manufacturer and should be to the owner/operator. Most accidents can be avoided by being aware of your equipment, your surroundings, and observing certain precautions. The first section of this manual includes a list of Safety Messages that, if followed, will help protect the operator and bystanders from injury or death.
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. (SG-11) Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
SAFETY Operator Safety Instructions and Practices 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.
SAFETY 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. (SG-33) Repeated or substantial breathing of hazardous dusts, including crystalline silica, could cause fatal or serious respiratory disease including silicosis.
SAFETY BEFORE leaving the tractor seat lower the implement, set the parking brake and/or set the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Place the tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to prevent the tractor from rolling. Never dismount a Tractor that is moving or while the engine is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the tractor seat only.
SAFETY 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) Use extra care when turning or stopping. Allow for increased length and weight of added loader.
SAFETY 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. (SL-12) SAFETY Do not work from the loader or attachments. Do now allow any riders on the loader, tractor or attachments.
SAFETY 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) Be particularly careful in transport.
SAFETY 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. (SL-31) SAFETY 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.
SAFETY Transporting Safety Instructions and Practices 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.
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. (SL-34) In case of mechanical difficulty during operation, place the transmission in the park position, set the parking brake, shut down all power, including the PTO and the engine and remove the key.
SAFETY Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted component unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up to prevent sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury or even death. (SL-36) Never attempt to lubricate, adjust, or remove material from the Implement while it is in motion or while tractor engine is running. (SG-20) Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when necessary with authorized service parts.
SAFETY Avoid contact with hot surfaces of the engine or muffler. Use gloves and eye protection when servicing hot components. Contact with a hot surface or fluid can cause serious injury from burns or scalding. (SG-38) SAFETY 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.

Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem, lighting Tractor Ballast ............................... As required to maintain 25% of gross weight of tractor, loader and bucket load on rear tires 3.1 ROPS and Seat Belt 3.
OPERATION OPERATION To ensure tractor stability when operating add wheel ballast or rear weights to rear tractor tires. For better stability, use tractor with wide front axle rather than tricycle front wheels. Move wheels to the tractor manufacturer’s widest recommended settings to increase stability. If 3-Point hitch counterweights are used, they should be carried as low as possible at all times to maximize stability.
OPERATION Use both hands and equipped handrails and steps for support when boarding the tractor. Never use control levers for support when mounting the tractor. Seat yourself in the operator’s seat and secure the seat belt around you. Never allow passengers to ride on the tractor or attached equipment. Riders can easily fall off and be seriously injured or killed from falling off and being ran over. It is the operator’s responsibility to forbid all extra riders at all times.
OPERATION 5. Starting the Tractor OPERATION Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health. (SG-23) Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators manual for proper starting instructions.
OPERATION 6. Pre-Operation Inspection and Service Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when necessary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners, worn or broken parts, 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. (SG-21) Before each use, a pre-operation inspection and service of the implement and tractor must be performed.
OPERATION OPERATION 6.1 Tractor Pre-Operation Inspection/Service Refer to the tractor operator’s manual to ensure a complete pre-operation inspection and scheduled service is performed according to the manufacturers recommendations.
OPERATION Before operation, a complete inspection and service is required to ensure the loader is in a good and safe working condition.

Make sure the Loader is resting on the ground or securely blocked up and all hydraulic pressure has been relieved.
OPERATION 7. Driving the Tractor and Loader 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. (SBH-48) Your driving vision may be reduced or impaired by the tractor, cab, or implement.
OPERATION 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. (SL-07) OPERATION Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and precautions to take while driving with an attached implement.
OPERATION 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. (SL-21) The Boom is designed only to position and operate the Bucket which is attached to it.
OPERATION 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-08) OPERATION 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.
OPERATION 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. (SL-29) Always look behind you before backing up. Make sure you are looking in the direction of travel. A bystander could walk behind the tractor.
OPERATION 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. (SL-32) OPERATION Do not raise the loader on a hillside.
OPERATION 8.1 Operating the Loader The following text and illustrations offer suggested loader and tractor operating techniques. FILLING THE BUCKET Approach and enter the pile with a level bucket. OPERATION Loaders with 1-lever control, ease lever back toward you to lift and roll back bucket. With series valve, prevent loader stall by not lifting and rolling back at the same time. 1035 01/11 © 2011 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION OPERATION Lift and roll back of bucket will increase efficiency because... A level bucket throughout the lifting cycle resists bucket lift and increases breakaway effort. NOTE: Do not be concerned if the bucket is not completely filled during each pass. Maximum productivity is determined by the amount of material loaded in a given period of time. Time is lost if two or more attempts are made to fill the bucket on each pass.
OPERATION CARRYING THE LOAD Position bucket just below tractor hood for maximum stability and visibility, whether bucket is loaded or empty. When transporting the load, keep bucket as low as possible, to avoid tipping, in case a wheel drops in a rut. 1035 01/11 © 2011 Alamo Group Inc. Operation Section 4-25 OPERATION Use extreme care when operating loader on a slope, keep bucket as low as possible. This keeps center of gravity low and will provide maximum stability.
OPERATION DUMPING THE BUCKET OPERATION Lift bucket high enough to clear side of vehicle. Move tractor in as close as possible to side of vehicle, then dump bucket. LOWERING THE BUCKET After bucket is dumped, back away from vehicle while lowering and rolling back bucket. 1035 01/11 © 2011 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL During hard surface operation, keep bucket level and put lift control in float position to permit bucket to float on working surface. If hydraulic down pressure is exerted on bucket, it will wear faster than normal. LOADING FROM A BANK Choose a forward gear that provides sufficient ground speed for loading. Exercise caution when undercutting high banks. Dirt slides can be dangerous. Load from as low as possible for maximum efficiency.
OPERATION OPERATION Side cutting is a good technique for cutting down a big pile. If the pile sides are too high and liable to cause cave-in, use loader to break down the sides until a slot can be cut over the top. Another method for large dirt piles is to build a ramp approach to the pile. 1035 01/11 © 2011 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION It is important to keep the bucket level when approaching a bank or pile. This will help prevent gouging the work area. Use a slight bucket angle, travel forward and hold lift control forward to start the cut. Make a short 5 to 8 foot angle cut and break out cleanly. With bucket level, start a cut at notch approximately 2 inches deep. Hold depth by feathering bucket control to adjust cutting lip up or down. When front tires enter the notch, adjust lift cylinder to maintain proper depth.
OPERATION OPERATION Make additional passes until desired depth is reached. During each pass, use only bucket control while working depth. This will allow you to concentrate on controlling bucket angle to maintain a precise cut. LOADING LOW TRUCKS OR SPREADERS FROM A PILE For faster loading, minimize angle of turn and length of run between pile and spreader. Back grade occasionally with a loaded bucket to keep working surface free of ruts and holes.
OPERATION BACKFILLING Approach pile with a level bucket. Do not use bucket in dumped position for bulldozing. This method, shown above, will impose severe shock loadings on dump linkage, bucket cylinder and tractor. 1035 01/11 © 2011 Alamo Group Inc. Operation Section 4-31 OPERATION Poor methods actually move no more dirt and make it more difficult to hold a level grade.
OPERATION OPERATION Leave dirt in bucket. Dumping on each pass wastes time. Operate tractor at right angles to ditch. Take as big a bite as tractor can handle without lugging down. 1035 01/11 © 2011 Alamo Group Inc.
OPERATION Leave dirt which drifts over side of bucket for final cleanup. HANDLING LARGE HEAVY OBJECTS 1. Using front end loaders for handling large heavy objects such as large round or rectangular bales, logs and oil drums is not recommended. 2. Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to: • Danger of tractor rolling over. • Danger of up-ending tractor. • Danger of object rolling or sliding down loader arms onto operator. 3.
OPERATION 8.2 Operating Bale Spear (Optional Attachment) Operate bale spear using extreme caution. Sharp points on bale spear can cause serious injury or death. Because of size and weight of large bales, extreme care must be taken in handling them. Be aware of forces acting on stacked bales due to gravity and keep workers far from zones of potential hazard from shifting or falling bales. DO NOT ALLOW BYSTANDERS! OPERATION Keep bystanders 10 feet away from the tractor and loader while operating.
OPERATION Carry bales as low to the ground as possible to allow maximum visibility and avoid tipping. Park the tractor on a level surface, place the transmission in park or neutral and apply the parking brake, lower the attached implement to the ground, shut down the engine, remove the key, and wait for all motion to come to a complete stop before exiting the tractor. OPS-L- 0014 9. Loader Storage Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement.
OPERATION OPERATION 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.
OPERATION Inherent hazards of operating the tractor and implement and the possibility of accidents are not left behind when you finish working in an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation practices when transporting the tractor and implement between locations. By using good judgement and following safe transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be substantially minimized.
OPERATION 10.1 Transporting on Public Roadways OPERATION Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death. (SG-10) 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.
OPERATION When operating on public roads, have consideration for other road users. Pull to the side of the road occasionally to allow all following traffic to pass. Do not exceed the legal speed limit set in your country for agricultural tractors. Always stay alert when transporting the tractor and implement on public roads. Use caution and reduce speed if other vehicles or pedestrians are in the area. OPS-L- 0020 10.
OPERATION 11. Troubleshooting Guide POSSIBLE CAUSE POSSIBLE REMEDY Loader slow or will not lift and/or dump Hydraulic oil too heavy. Change to proper oil. Oil filter plugged. Hydraulic pump worn. Oil line restricted or leaking. Cylinder leaks internally. Faulty relief valve (tractor). Clean or replace filter. Repair or replace pump. Check all hoses and tubes for leaks, damage or restrictions.
