LIFTING THE LOAD
WARNING
DO NOT LIFT OR CARRY ANYONE IN THE
BUCKET OR ON ANY OTHER POSITION
OF THE LOADER OR LOADER ATTACH-
MENT. INADVERTENT MOVEMENT OF
THE LOADER OR ATTACHMENT COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
FROM FALLING OR CRUSHING.
CAUTION
MAKE SURE MATERIAL IN BUCKET CAN-
NOT ROLL OUT AND DOWN ON TRACTOR
WHEN BUCKET IS RAISED TO FULL
HEIGHT. KEEP CLEAR OF OVERHEAD
OBSTRUCTIONS SUCH AS TREES, LIMBS
OR POWER LINES WHEN RAISING THE
BUCKET.
When lifting the load, keep the bucket positioned to
avoid spillage.
CARRYING THE LOAD
Position the bucket just below the level of the tractor
hood for maximum stability and visibility, whether the
bucket is loaded or empty.
Use extreme caution when operating the loader on a
slope and keep the bucket as low as possible. This
keeps the bucket and tractor center of gravity low
and will provide maximum tractor stability.
CAUTION
OPERATING THE LOADER ON A HILLSIDE
IS DANGEROUS. EXTREME CARE IS
RECOMMENDED.
