To the Owner/Operator/Dealer All implements with moving parts are potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-minded operator who recognizes the potential hazards and follows reasonable safety practices. The manufacturer has designed this implement to be used with all its safety equipment properly attached to minimize the chance of accidents. BEFORE YOU START!! Read the safety messages on the implement and shown in your manual.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued) STORAGE SAFETY Following operation or when unhooking, stop the tractor, set the brakes, shut off the engine, relieve all hydraulic 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.
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 —————————————————— Be sure tires and rims are in good condition. Inflate tires to the proper recommended air pressure. 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.
INSTRUCTIONS (continued) COMPACT TRACTOR LOADER BRACKETS FOR MODEL FLPF-2000 PALLET FORK ASSEMBLY – QUICK ATTACH ASSEMBLY – TRACTOR LOADERS – PIN ON ATTACHMENT If your tractor loader has a bucket Quick Attach feature, check with your dealer on the availability of adapter brackets for your brand and model loader. Measure the width of your loader arms and figure how to best attach the loader mounting brackets so the front loader attachment is centered on your loader.
INSTRUCTIONS (continued) NOTE: For loaders that require brackets that provide additional roll back, order #830335 (1” pins). MODEL PF-448 —————————————————— The Universal model PF-448 Pallet Fork attachment is designed to fit most double-cylinder front end loaders with a load-arm center distance of 52 inches or less.
