safety precautions: Improper use of the tractor and loader can result in injury. To reduce this possibility, give complete and undivided attention to the job at hand, and follow these safety precautions. PREPARATION Know your controls. Read this operator's manual and the manual provided with your tractor. Learn how to stop the tractor, the engine, and the loader quickly in an emergency. Do not allow children to operate the tractor or the loader. Do not allow adults to operate this equipment without proper instruction. Keep children and pets a safe distance from the operation. CAUTION - DISCONNECT the rear attachment powershaft fromthe tractor PTO shaft, when using the loader, if the rear PTO driven attachment is mounted on the tractor. Always wear snug fitting and belted clothing when operating the tractor and loader. Loose jackets, shirts, sleeves, or other loose clothing should not be worn because of the danger of it catching in moving parts or in the controls. Do not allow anyone other than the operator on tractor when it is in operation. Always be sure the area is clear of people, pets, and debris before operating the tractor and loader. Do not let anyone ride in the bucket or the ballast box of the tractor. Do not exceed a ground speed of three miles per hour when transporting a load. Carry the bucket low at all times except when loading or unloading. Never use the loader as a battering ram. Drive the tractor at a slow ground speed when operating the loader over rough terrain, especially when operating at, or near, maximum lift height. Always remain at the controls when operating the loader. Lower the bucket to the ground when it is unattended. Take extra precautions when working in areas where wheel clearance or lift clearance is limited. Drive slowly through narrow gate and doorways. Never operate the loader without the minimum recommended rear ballast. Read and follow the instructions shown on the decals attached to the loader.
