Operator`s manual

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.

(SL-18)

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.

(SL-25)

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.

Running into a bystander can result in serious injury or death.

(SL-30)

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.
