OPERATING THE LOADER

Normal Use

WARNING: When you operate, always keep all parts of your body inside the operators compartment. Then, before you leave the operators seat, always lower the loader bucket or attachment to the ground and stop the engine. You can be injured or killed if you do not follow these instructions.

WARNING: When you operate the machine, keep the loader bucket as low as possible. This low position gives better balance and permits you to see more clearly. If the bucket is full and you move the machine over ground that is rough or surfaces that can cause the machine to slide, always operate at slow speed. If you do not use this procedure, the machine can go out of control and roll-over.

WARNING: Raised equipment on the machine without an operator can cause injury or death. Before you leave the operators compartment, always support or lower the equipment (backhoe, blade, boom, bucket, etc.) to the ground and stop the engine.

WARNING: When you are operating on a hill, be very careful. Do not turn the machine sideways to the bottom of the hill. The machine can roll over.
