SAFETY  
Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or  
Implement. Usually, 16-17 year-old children who are mature and  
responsible can operate the implement with adult supervision, if they  
have read and understand the Operator’s Manuals, been trained in  
proper operation of the tractor and Implement, and are physically large  
enough to reach and operate the controls easily. (SG-11)  
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.  
Falling off can result in serious injury or death. (SG-10)  
Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off  
the Equipment and be injured or killed. Inadvertent contact with controls can cause the  
Implement to shift or fall crushing themselves or others. (SG-25)  
DO NOT use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the  
Tractor and Implement. Drugs and alcohol will affect an operator’s  
alertness and coordination and therefore affect the operator’s ability to  
operate the equipment safely. Before operating the Tractor or Implement,  
an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must consult  
a medical professional regarding any side effects of the medication that  
would hinder their ability to operate the Equipment safely. NEVER  
knowingly allow anyone to operate this equipment when their alertness or  
coordination is impaired. Serious injury or death to the operator or others  
could result if the operator is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. (SG-27)  
Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit  
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other  
reproductive harm. (SG-30)  
Never walk or work under any raised boom or bucket. The Boom could fall and cause  
serious bodily injury or death. Always lower the boom and bucket flat on the ground or  
support the Boom and bucket on safety stands. Unload all hydraulic actuators prior to  
performing any maintenance. To do this, set the bucket on the ground then kill the tractor  
engine. Push and pull the control levers in and out several times to remove pressure. Do  
not work under raised Boom or Bucket unless components are securely blocked up to  
prevent inadvertent dropping. (SBH-7)

SAFETY  
Operator Safety Instructions and Practices  
Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and  
completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and  
each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and  
Implement. Learn how to stop the tractor engine suddenly in an  
emergency.  
Never allow inexperienced or untrained personnel to  
operate the Tractor or Implement without supervision. Make sure the  
operator has fully read and understood the manuals prior to operation.  
(SG-4)  
The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats, safety  
shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all times for  
protection from injury including injury from items that may be thrown by  
the equipment. (SG-16)  
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE  
PERMANENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without an Implement  
attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent hearing loss.  
We recommend that you always wear hearing protection if the noise in  
the Operator’s position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db over an  
extended period of time will cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db  
adjacent to the Operator over an extended period of time will cause  
permanent or total hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noise  
[from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the  
ear] is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery. (SG-I7)  
Always read carefully and comply fully with the manufacturer’s  
instructions when handling oil, solvents, cleansers, and any other  
chemical agent. (SG-22)  
Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The  
exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health. (SG-23)  
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds,  
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other  
reproductive harm. (SG-31)

SAFETY  
Prolonged operation may cause operator boredom and fatigue affecting safe operation.  
Take scheduled work breaks to help prevent these potentially impaired operating  
conditions. Never operate the Implement and Tractor in a fatigued or bored mental state  
which impairs proper and safe operation. (SG-32)  
Use extreme caution when getting onto the Implement to perform repairs, maintenance and  
when removing accumulated material. Only stand on solid flat surfaces to ensure good  
footing. Use a ladder or raised stand to access high spots which cannot be reached from  
ground level. Slipping and falling can cause serious injury or death. (SG-33)  
Use extreme care when loading, carrying or handling any agricultural  
fertilizers, chemicals or biological residue. Follow the manufacturer’s  
handling instructions and wear appropriate Personal Protective  
Equipment including gloves, safety glasses and respirator when required.  
If you are using a tractor equipped with a cab, make sure the cab is rated  
for appropriate environmental exposure. Be safe and always wear proper  
protection. Short or long term exposure to certain chemicals and  
materials can result in serious injury or death. (SL-19)  
Repeated or substantial breathing of hazardous dusts, including  
crystalline silica, could cause fatal or serious respiratory disease including  
silicosis. Concrete, masonry, many types of rock, and various other  
materials contain silica sand. California lists respirable crystalline silica as  
a substance known to cause cancer. Operation of this equipment under  
certain conditions may generate airborne dust particles that could contain  
crystalline silica. In those conditions, personal protective equipment  
including an appropriate respirator must be used. If excessive dust is  
generated, a dust collection or suppression system should also be used  
during operation. (SG-41)  
Equipment Operation Safety Instructions and Practices  
This Implement may be wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting  
this equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails,  
concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and  
Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death.  
Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles. (S3PT-12)

SAFETY  
Never grasp control levers when mounting the machine. (SBH-4)  
The Boom is designed only to position and operate the Bucket which is attached to it. Never  
attempt to lift, pull, or push other solid objects with the boom or bucket. Serious injury could  
result from a structural failure when the Boom is used for purposes other than those for  
which it was designed. (SBH-9)  
BEFORE leaving the tractor seat lower the implement, set the parking  
brake and/or set the tractor transmission in parking gear, disengage the  
PTO, stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to  
stop. Place the tractor shift lever into a low range or parking gear to  
prevent the tractor from rolling. Never dismount a Tractor that is moving  
or while the engine is running. Operate the Tractor controls from the  
tractor seat only. (SG-9)  
Do not mount or dismount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount  
the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are  
completelystopped. (SG-12)  
Start tractor only when properly seated in the Tractor seat. Starting a  
tractor in gear can result in injury or death. Read the Tractor operators  
manual for proper starting instructions. (SG-13)  
Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the Tractor seat  
with the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the Tractor or  
Implement may cause serious injury or death. (SG-29)  
DO NOT operate this Implement on a Tractor that is not properly maintained. Should a  
mechanical or Tractor control failure occur while operating, immediately shut down the

SAFETY  
Do Not operate this equipment in areas where insects such as bees may attack you and/or  
cause you to lose control of the equipment. If you must enter in such areas, use a tractor  
with an enclosed Cab and close the windows to prevent insects from entering. If a tractor  
cab is not available, wear suitable clothing including head, face, and hand protection to  
shield you from the insects. Attacking insects can cause you to lose control of the tractor,  
which can result in serious injury or death to you or bystanders. Never dismount a moving  
tractor. (SG-40)  
Keep bystanders 10 feet away from the tractor and loader while  
operating. The bystanders could enter the path of the tractor or items  
could fall from the loader resulting in serious injury to the bystander. (SL-01)  
For added safety when lifting loads above the height of the operator,  
install a certified Falling Object Protective Structure. Shiftable loads,  
round bales, large loose items, and loader attachments can fall toward  
the operator resulting in serious injury or death. Falling Object Protective  
Structure (FOPS) rated Cab may be obtained from the tractor dealer or  
other sources. (SL-02)  
Before dismounting the tractor and loader lower the loader to the ground or  
onto solid support blocks. Engage the loader valve travel lock to prevent  
inadvertent movement of the valve controls causing the loader to suddenly  
move and drop. Sudden dropping of the loader and attachment could  
result in serious injury. (SL-05)  
Use extra care when turning or stopping. Allow for increased length and weight of added  
loader. The loader adds five to six feet of length in front of the tractor and significant weight.  
Allow extra distance when stopping or turning. Do not allow loader or attachment to contact  
solid objects. (SL-07)  
Do not raise the loader into an overhead structure or allow a raised attachment to contact  
overhead structures. Sudden or unexpected contact with an overhead structure could result  
in serious injury. (SL-08)

SAFETY  
Do not let the loader or attachment contact electrical power lines. Contact  
with electrical power lines can result in serious injury or electrocution. If  
the loader attachment 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-09)  
Store the grapple bucket or bale spear attachment with the point(s) on the  
ground. Walking into the point of the bale or grapple spear can cause  
serious bodily injury. Never drive the bale spear or grapple bucket  
attachment forward if a bystander is in front of the loader. (SL-10)  
Only mount the loader on a tractor that is listed on the mounting instructions. Never mount  
on a tricycle steering front axle. Move the tractor front and rear wheels to the widest spacing  
and add the recommended rear tractor ballast to prevent tractor tip over. Keep the tractor  
tires properly inflated. Maintain at least 25% of the total Tractor and Loader weight including  
the maximum load in the bucket or attachment on the rear axle. Always wear your seatbelt  
and make sure the ROPS structure is fully deployed to prevent serious injury or death from  
the tractor tipping over. (SL-11)  
Carry the loader and attachment low when transporting to reduce the  
potential of the tractor tipping over. Transport on slopes only at slow  
speeds and use gradual turning angles. Tractor wheel contact with any  
wash out, drop off or ground obstruction with a raised loader could result  
in the tractor tipping over and causing serious injury. (SL-12)  
Do not work from the loader or attachments. Do now allow any riders on  
the loader, tractor or attachments. Falling off the loader could result in  
serious injury and/or tractor run over. (SL-14)

SAFETY  
Do not use an attachment that is not securely attached to the quick  
hitch, The attachment could fall resulting in severe crushing injuries  
or death to the operator or bystanders.  
Rotate both hitch pin levers down to the locked position. You should feel a firm  
resistance when locking the levers down. The pins must extend through the slots in  
the bottom of the attachment bracket.  
Examine the fit between the quick hitch and the bottom of the attachment bracket.  
The pins must extend through the slots in the bottom of the attachment bracket. The  
tapered side of each pin must be firmly wedged against the surface of the slot on  
the bottom of the attachment bracket. The attachment bucket should fit snugly  
against the bottom of the quick hitch bracket. If there is a gap of more than 1/8” or if  
the pins are not firmly seated do not use the attachment. Contact your dealer before  
using the attachment.  
On level ground, tilt the attachment down 90° degrees and lower it to the ground.  
Lower the loader further to slightly raise the front of the tractor off the ground. Drive  
the tractor in reverse while the attachment is on the ground for 20-30 feet to ensure  
the attachment does not disconnect. If the attachment disconnects during this  
process, discontinue the use of the attachment and contact your dealer.  
NEVER walk or work under or allow any person to be underneath a  
raised loader or attachment. (SL-15)  
Do not operate the loader from the ground. Operate the tractor and loader only while seated  
in the tractor seat with the seatbelt fastened. The loader could fall crushing a person  
resulting in serious injury or death. (SL-16)  
Use extreme care when piling material above 6 feet high. Material  
could shift and fall onto the operator or bystanders. The material could  
crush or suffocate the operator or bystander resulting in serious injury  
or death. (SL-17)

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. (SL-35)  
Be particularly careful in transport. The Implement has raised and moved the center of  
gravity to the front of the Power Unit increasing the possibility of overturn and tipping  
forward. Turn curves or go up slopes only at low speed and using a gradual turning angle.  
Go up slopes with the Implement located uphill. Slow down on rough or uneven surfaces.

SAFETY  
Never leave the Implement and Power Unit unattended while the Implement is in the raised  
position. Accidental operation of a lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause the  
implement to suddenly fall causing serious injury or possible death to anyone who might  
inadvertently be under the Implement. Lower the implement carefully to the ground. Do not  
put hands or feet under lifted components. (SPU-3)  
The center of gravity of a Power Unit equipped with a front-mounted Implement is shifted to  
the front and removes weight from the rear wheels. The Power Unit should maintain at  
least 25% total weight with the maximum load in the bucket or attachment on the rear  
wheels to prevent tipping forward, loss of steering control, and possible injury. Add  
counterweight if required when operating on slopes and proceed with the load uphill to  
prevent tipping. Reference the Power Unit’s Operator’s Manual or an authorized dealer for  
information on adding additional weight. (SL-37)  
Make sure the hydraulic quick disconnects are fully seated into the connections. Do not use  
the loader if the hydraulic connection is leaking. Leaking oil could allow the loader to fall  
resulting in a serious crushing injury. (SL-22)  
If the loader valve controls fail to functions properly discontinue use of the tractor and  
loader until the controls are properly repaired. Sudden or unexpected movement or  
dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious injury. (SL-31)  
Make sure all air is purged from the hydraulic system before using the loader. Air in the  
system can cause the loader to respond sluggishly or with unexpected movement. The air  
can be purged from the cylinder lines by fully cycling the cylinders several times from the  
fully closed to fully open position. Sudden or unexpected movement or dropping of the  
loader and attachment could result in serious injury. (SL-32)

SAFETY  
Connecting or Disconnecting Implement Safety Instructions and  
Practices  
Do not stand or allow bystander or coworkers between the loader and the  
tractor while installing or disconnecting the loader from the tractor. Keep  
hands and body clear of the loader and the loader mounts. Serious injury  
or death can result from a person being crushed between the tractor and  
loader. (SL-03)  
Never allow anyone to get under the loader or attachment or to reach  
through the loader lift arms when raised. Serious injury could result from  
crushing or pinching by the loader or attachment. (SL-06)  
Make sure the loader is properly attached to the tractor and the retaining pins securely lock  
the loader into position. Improper mounting of the loader onto the tractor can result in the  
loader falling causing serious injury. (SL-23)  
Make sure all tractor and loader guards are in place and properly functioning. Do not use an  
attachment if the roll back guards are damaged or missing. The roll back guards prevents  
items carried in the attachment from rolling back onto the operator causing serious injury.  
For added safety when lifting loads above the height of the operator, install a certified  
Falling Object Protective Structure. (SL-28)

SAFETY  
Transporting Safety Instructions and Practices  
Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the  
equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this  
equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and  
how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering  
and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.  
Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for  
you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by the following rules:  
Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the Brakes smoothly  
to determine the stopping characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase  
the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases.  
Determine the maximum  
transport speed not to exceed 20 mph (30 kph) for transporting this equipment.  
Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed through the turn only after  
you determine that the equipment can be operated at a higher speed. Use extreme care  
and reduce your speed when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from  
turning over. Determine the maximum turning speed for you and this equipment before  
operating on roads or uneven ground.  
Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds which allow you to properly control  
the equipment.  
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes  
or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance  
increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use  
the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you  
and watch out for the other guy. (SG-19)  
Before transporting the tractor and Loader engage the loader valve travel  
lock to prevent inadvertent contact with the joystick controller causing  
sudden dropping of the loader and attachment. If the loader attachment,  
such as a bucket, were to drop suddenly and hit the ground while  
transporting, the tractor could stop immediately resulting in the operator  
hitting the steering wheel or flying our of the operator’s seat. Serious injury  
could result. (SL-04)  
Do not raise the loader on a hillside. Do not transport across a slope with  
a raised loader. When the loader is raised, the center of gravity of the  
tractor and loader is raised increasing the potential for the tractor to tip  
over. Tractor wheel contact with any wash out, drop off or the ground  
obstruction with a raised loader could result in the tractor tipping over and  
causing serious bodily injury. (SL-21)

SAFETY  
Lower the loader to the bed of the truck or trailer when transporting the  
tractor and loader with a truck. Measure to ensure the transport height  
does not exceed the legal limits. Contact with overhead obstructions or  
power lines can cause property damage or serious injury. (SL-34)  
Before dismounting the tractor and loader, lower the loader to the ground or onto solid  
support blocks. Sudden dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious  
injury. (SL-38)  
Transport an empty bale spear tilted back in the vertical position to  
prevent unintended harm to a person, animal or object. Serious injury  
or death may occur from a bale spear puncture. (SL-39)  
Never drive the power unit with the bucket or plow in the raised position.  
Traveling with the bucket or plow in the raised position increases the  
chances of colliding with overhead obstructions and making the unit more  
prone to tipping over. (SNPO-37)  
Maintenance and Service Safety Instructions and Practices  
READ, UNDERSTAND, and FOLLOW the following Safety Messages. Serious injury or  
death may occur unless care is taken to follow the warnings and instructions stated in the  
Safety Messages. Always use good common sense to avoid hazards. (SG-2)  
Never interfere with factory-set hydraulic calibrations. Any change in calibration could  
cause a failure of the equipment and may result in injury. (SBH-13)  
Always maintain the safety signs in good readable condition. If the safety signs are missing,  
damaged, or unreadable, obtain and install replacement safety signs immediately. (SG-5)  
Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in  
such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the  
Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local  
traffic regulations. (SG-6)

SAFETY  
Do not modify or alter this Implement. Do not permit anyone to modify or alter this  
Implement, any of its components or any Implement function. (SG-8)  
Never work under the Implement, the framework, or any lifted component  
unless the Implement is securely supported or blocked up to prevent  
sudden or inadvertent falling which could cause serious injury or even  
death. (SL-36)  
Do not operate this Equipment with hydraulic oil or fuel leaking. Oil  
and fuel are explosive and their presence could present a hazard. Do  
not check for leaks with your hand! High-pressure oil streams from  
breaks in the line could penetrate the skin and cause tissue damage  
including gangrene. To check for a hose leak, SHUT the unit ENGINE  
OFF and remove all hydraulic pressure. Wear oil impenetrable gloves,  
safety glasses and use Cardboard to check for evidence of oil leaks. If  
you suspect a leak, REMOVE the HOSE and have it tested at a Dealer.  
If oil does penetrate the skin, have the injury treated immediately by a  
physician knowledgeable and skilled in this procedure. (SG-15)  
Never attempt to lubricate, adjust, or remove material from the Implement while it is in  
motion or while tractor engine is running. (SG-20)  
Periodically inspect all moving parts for wear and replace when  
necessary with authorized service parts. Look for loose fasteners, worn  
or broken parts, and leaky or loose fittings. Make sure all pins have  
cotter pins and washers. Serious injury may occur from not maintaining  
this machine in good working order. (SG-21)  
Do Not fill fuel tank while engine is running. Refuel only after engine has cooled down. If  
fuel is spilled, move machine away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source  
of ignition until the fuel has evaporated. (SBH-49)

INTRODUCTION  
This 4211 & 4211SS Loaders are designed with care and built with quality materials by skilled workers. Proper  
assembly, maintenance, and operating practices, as described in this manual, will help the owner/operator get  
years of satisfactory service from the machine.  
The purpose of this manual is to familiarize and instruct. The Assembly Section instructs the owner/operator in  
the correct assembly of the Front End Loader using standard and optional equipment. The Parts manual is  
designed to familiarize the owner/operator with replaceable parts on the Loader. This Part Manual provides  
exploded assembly drawings of each Loader component illustrating each piece and the corresponding part  
number.  
Careful use and timely service saves extensive repairs and costly downtime losses. The Operation and  
Maintenance Sections of the manual train the owner/operator how to work the Front End Loader correctly and  
attend to appropriate maintenance. The Trouble Shooting Guide helps diagnose difficulties and offers solution  
to the problems.  
Safety is of primary importance to the owner/operator and to the manufacturer. The first section of this manual  
includes a list of Safety Messages, that, if followed, will help protect the operator and bystanders from injury or  
death. Many of the Safety Messages will be repeated throughout the manual. The owner/operator/dealer  
should know these Safety Messages before assembly and be aware of the hazards of operating this Loader  
during assembly, use, and maintenance. The Safety Alert Symbol combined with a Signal Word, as seen  
below, is intended to warn the owner/operator of impending hazards and the degree of possible injury faced  
when operating this machine.  
It is recommended that tractor wheels be moved to the widest setting and rear ballast be  
applied to increase tractor stability.  
Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or  
Implement. Usually, 16-17 year-old children who are mature and  
responsible can operate the implement with adult supervision, if they  
have read and understand the Operator’s Manuals, been trained in  
proper operation of the tractor and Implement, and are physically large  
enough to reach and operate the controls easily. (SG-11)  
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.  
Falling off can result in serious injury or death. (SG-10)  
Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off  
the Equipment and be injured or killed. Inadvertent contact with controls can cause the  
Implement to shift or fall crushing themselves or others. (SG-25)

INTRODUCTION  
DO NOT use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the  
Tractor and Implement. Drugs and alcohol will affect an operator’s  
alertness and coordination and therefore affect the operator’s ability to  
operate the equipment safely. Before operating the Tractor or Implement,  
an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must consult  
a medical professional regarding any side effects of the medication that  
would hinder their ability to operate the Equipment safely. NEVER  
knowingly allow anyone to operate this equipment when their alertness or  
coordination is impaired. Serious injury or death to the operator or others  
could result if the operator is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. (SG-27)  
Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit  
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other  
reproductive harm. (SG-30)  
Never walk or work under any raised boom or bucket. The Boom could fall and cause  
serious bodily injury or death. Always lower the boom and bucket flat on the ground or  
support the Boom and bucket on safety stands. Unload all hydraulic actuators prior to  
performing any maintenance. To do this, set the bucket on the ground then kill the tractor  
engine. Push and pull the control levers in and out several times to remove pressure. Do  
not work under raised Boom or Bucket unless components are securely blocked up to  
prevent inadvertent dropping. (SBH-7)  
Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved roll-  
over-protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Serious injury or  
even death could result from falling off the tractor--particularly during a turnover  
when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS. (SG-7)

ASSEMBLY  
Do not use an attachment that is not securely attached to the quick  
hitch, The attachment could fall resulting in severe crushing injuries  
or death to the operator or bystanders.  
Rotate both hitch pin levers down to the locked position. You should feel a firm  
resistance when locking the levers down. The pins must extend through the slots in  
the bottom of the attachment bracket.  
Examine the fit between the quick hitch and the bottom of the attachment bracket.  
The pins must extend through the slots in the bottom of the attachment bracket. The  
tapered side of each pin must be firmly wedged against the surface of the slot on  
the bottom of the attachment bracket. The attachment bucket should fit snugly  
against the bottom of the quick hitch bracket. If there is a gap of more than 1/8” or if  
the pins are not firmly seated do not use the attachment. Contact your dealer before  
using the attachment.  
On level ground, tilt the attachment down 90° degrees and lower it to the ground.  
Lower the loader further to slightly raise the front of the tractor off the ground. Drive  
the tractor in reverse while the attachment is on the ground for 20-30 feet to ensure  
the attachment does not disconnect. If the attachment disconnects during this  
process, discontinue the use of the attachment and contact your dealer.  
NEVER walk or work under or allow any person to be underneath a  
raised loader or attachment. (SL-15)  
Only mount the loader on a tractor that is listed on the mounting instructions. Never mount  
on a tricycle steering front axle. Move the tractor front and rear wheels to the widest spacing  
and add the recommended rear tractor ballast to prevent tractor tip over. Keep the tractor  
tires properly inflated. Maintain at least 25% of the total Tractor and Loader weight including  
the maximum load in the bucket or attachment on the rear axle. Always wear your seatbelt  
and make sure the ROPS structure is fully deployed to prevent serious injury or death from  
the tractor tipping over. (SL-11)  
Make sure all air is purged from the hydraulic system before using the loader. Air in the  
system can cause the loader to respond sluggishly or with unexpected movement. The air  
can be purged from the cylinder lines by fully cycling the cylinders several times from the  
fully closed to fully open position. Sudden or unexpected movement or dropping of the  
loader and attachment could result in serious injury. (SL-32)

Dismounting Loader and Mounting Loader to Tractor  
To avoid injury during installation of loader:  
• Place loader bucket against barrier to restrict forward movement of loader.  
• Do not permit bystanders within 15 feet of loader.  
Loader must be equipped with a bucket or other optional attachment to dismount from  
tractor.  
When dismounting loader, maintain clearance between loader side frames and tractor hood  
and front axle.  
Dismounting Loader  
1. Locate tractor and loader on firm level ground.  
2. Level and lower bucket to ground. Rotate  
bucket down slightly to remove pressure on  
hitch pins (See Figure Asm-L-0037).  
3. Rotate parking stands from storage position to  
operation position by removing linch pins and  
clevis pin. Inner tube of parking stand is now  
free to slide within outer tube. Reinstall clevis  
pin and linch pin when parking stands are in  
operation position. See Figure Asm-L-0001.  
4. Remove lynch pins and hitch pins from  
mounting.  
5. Start tractor engine and release brakes. Retract lift cylinders, allowing parking stands to support weight of  
loader. Drive tractor forward slightly so parking stands are firmly positioned. Operate loader control lever to  
extend lift cylinders, allowing top of loader upright to rotate forward out of upper mounting saddle. Operate  
loader control lever to retract bucket cylinder, which will curl bucket backward causing the loader upright to  
lift off of the mounting shaft. Continue to curl bucket until loader upright has rotated upward from the  
mounting position to clear front tires or fenders on tractor.  
6. Stop engine and apply brakes. Disconnect hydraulic hoses from tractor.  
7. Start tractor engine and release brakes. Slowly back tractor out of loader.

When Connecting an Attachment to the Loader Quick Hitch  
1. Be sure both quick hitch pin levers are in the unlocked position, with the levers pointing up. Tilt the loader  
quick hitch forward, drive the loader into the attachment bracket and engage top of the quick hitch into the  
top of the attachment bracket.  
2. Raise the loader slightly and rotate the top of the quick hitch back toward the operator until the bottom of  
the attachment is seated firmly in the bottom of the quick hitch.  
3. Rotate the quick hitch pin levers down 90  
degrees to the locked position. You should feel  
a firm resistance when locking the levers down.  
The tapered pins must extend through the slots  
in the bottom of the attachment bracket. The  
tapered side of the pins must be firmly wedged  
against the surface of the slot at the bottom of  
the attachment bracket. If the pins are not  
wedged securely in place, the attachment may  
fall off resulting in possible severe crushing  
injury or death to the operator or bystander.  
4. Raise the loader and attachment to shoulder  
height. By standing at the side of the loader,  
inspect the connection between the quick hitch  
and attachment.  
Never walk or work under or allow any person to be underneath a raised  
loader or attachment.  
Examine the fit between the quick hitch and the  
bottom of the attachment bracket. The pins must  
extend through the slots in the bottom of the  
attachment bracket. The tapered side of each pin  
must be firmly wedged against the surface of the  
slot on the bottom of the attachment bracket. The  
attachment bracket should fit snugly against the  
bottom of the loader bracket. If there is a gap of  
more than 1/8” or if the pins are not firmly seated do

OPERATION  
2. Operator Requirements  
DO NOT use drugs or alcohol immediately before or while operating the  
Tractor and Implement. Drugs and alcohol will affect an operator’s  
alertness and coordination and therefore affect the operator’s ability to  
operate the equipment safely. Before operating the Tractor or Implement,  
an operator on prescription or over-the-counter medication must consult  
a medical professional regarding any side effects of the medication that  
would hinder their ability to operate the Equipment safely. NEVER  
knowingly allow anyone to operate this equipment when their alertness or  
coordination is impaired. Serious injury or death to the operator or others  
could result if the operator is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. (SG-27)  
Never operate the Tractor or Implement until you have read and  
completely understand this Manual, the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and  
each of the Safety Messages found in the Manual or on the Tractor and  
Implement. Learn how to stop the tractor engine suddenly in an  
emergency.  
Never allow inexperienced or untrained personnel to  
operate the Tractor or Implement without supervision. Make sure the  
operator has fully read and understood the manuals prior to operation.  
(SG-4)  
The operator and all support personnel should wear hard hats, safety  
shoes, safety glasses, and proper hearing protection at all times for  
protection from injury including injury from items that may be thrown by  
the equipment. (SG-16)  
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE  
PERMANENT HEARING LOSS! Tractors with or without an Implement  
attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent hearing loss.  
We recommend that you always wear hearing protection if the noise in  
the Operator’s position exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db over an  
extended period of time will cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db  
adjacent to the Operator over an extended period of time will cause  
permanent or total hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss from loud noise  
[from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the  
ear] is cumulative over a lifetime without hope of natural recovery. (SG-I7)

OPERATION  
Always read carefully and comply fully with the manufacturer’s  
instructions when handling oil, solvents, cleansers, and any other  
chemical agent. (SG-22)  
Never run the Tractor engine in a closed building or without adequate ventilation. The  
exhaust fumes can be hazardous to your health. (SG-23)  
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds,  
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other  
reproductive harm. (SG-31)  
Prolonged operation may cause operator boredom and fatigue affecting safe operation.  
Take scheduled work breaks to help prevent these potentially impaired operating  
conditions. Never operate the Implement and Tractor in a fatigued or bored mental state  
which impairs proper and safe operation. (SG-32)  
Use extreme caution when getting onto the Implement to perform repairs, maintenance and  
when removing accumulated material. Only stand on solid flat surfaces to ensure good  
footing. Use a ladder or raised stand to access high spots which cannot be reached from  
ground level. Slipping and falling can cause serious injury or death. (SG-33)  
Use extreme care when loading, carrying or handling any agricultural  
fertilizers, chemicals or biological residue. Follow the manufacturer’s  
handling instructions and wear appropriate Personal Protective  
Equipment including gloves, safety glasses and respirator when required.  
If you are using a tractor equipped with a cab, make sure the cab is rated  
for appropriate environmental exposure. Be safe and always wear proper  
protection. Short or long term exposure to certain chemicals and  
materials can result in serious injury or death. (SL-19)

OPERATION  
Repeated or substantial breathing of hazardous dusts, including  
crystalline silica, could cause fatal or serious respiratory disease including  
silicosis. Concrete, masonry, many types of rock, and various other  
materials contain silica sand. California lists respirable crystalline silica as  
a substance known to cause cancer. Operation of this equipment under  
certain conditions may generate airborne dust particles that could contain  
crystalline silica. In those conditions, personal protective equipment  
including an appropriate respirator must be used. If excessive dust is  
generated, a dust collection or suppression system should also be used  
during operation. (SG-41)  
Safe operation of the unit is the responsibility of a qualified operator. A qualified operator has read and  
understands the implement and tractor Operator’s Manuals and is experienced in implement and tractor  
operation and all associated safety practices. In addition to the safety messages contained in this manual,  
safety signs are affixed to the implement and tractor. If any part of the operation and safe use of this  
equipment is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for a complete explanation.  
If the operator cannot read the manuals for themselves or does not completely understand the operation of the  
equipment, it is the responsibility of the supervisor to read and explain the manuals, safety practices, and  
operating instructions to the operator.  
Safe operation of equipment requires that the operator wear approved Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)  
for the job conditions when attaching, operating, servicing, and repairing the equipment. PPE is designed to  
provide operator protection and includes the following safety wear:  
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)  
Protective Eye Glasses, Goggles, or Face

OPERATION  
3. Tractor Requirements  
Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved roll-  
over-protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Serious injury or  
even death could result from falling off the tractor--particularly during a turnover  
when the operator could be pinned under the ROPS. (SG-7)  
For added safety when lifting loads above the height of the operator,  
install a certified Falling Object Protective Structure. Shiftable loads,  
round bales, large loose items, and loader attachments can fall toward  
the operator resulting in serious injury or death. Falling Object Protective  
Structure (FOPS) rated Cab may be obtained from the tractor dealer or  
other sources. (SL-02)  
Tractor Requirements and Capabilities  
ASABE approved Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) or ROPS cab and seat belt.  
Tractor Safety Devices .................Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem, lighting  
Tractor Ballast ...............................As required to maintain 25% of gross weight of tractor, loader and  
bucket load on rear tires  
3.1 ROPS and Seat Belt  
The tractor must be equipped with a Roll-Over-Protective-Structure (ROPS) (tractor cab or roll-bar) and seat  
belt to protect the operator from falling off the tractor, especially during a roll over where the driver could be  
crushed and killed. Only operate the tractor with the ROPS in the raised position and seat belt fastened.  
Tractor models not equipped with a ROPS and seat belt should have these life saving features installed by an  
authorized dealer. OPS-U- 0003  
3.2 Tractor Lighting and SMV Emblem  
If the tractor will be operated near or traveled on a  
public roadway it must be equipped with proper  
warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)  
emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of  
the unit. Most tractor’s have different settings for  
operating and transporting lighting. Refer to the  
tractor operator’s manual for using the tractor’s  
light switch and operating the turn signals.

OPERATION  
3.3 Tractor Ballast  
Before operating tractor and loader, add sufficient counterweight so a minimum of 25% of the  
total weight is on the rear axle. Total weight includes weight of: tractor, loader, rated load in  
bucket, and counterweight. Rated load is lift capacity at full height at 500mm forward of  
bucket pivot point (See Standard Equipment and Specifications). When determining required  
counterweight bucket should be at maximum forward position (bucket pivot point at the same  
height as boom pivot point on mast).  
To ensure tractor stability when operating add  
wheel ballast or rear weights to rear tractor tires.  
For better stability, use tractor with wide front axle  
rather than tricycle front wheels. Move wheels to  
the tractor manufacturer’s widest recommended  
settings to increase stability. If 3-Point hitch  
counterweights are used, they should be carried  
as low as possible at all times to maximize stability.  
Effective counterbalance weight at rear axle of  
mounted rear equipment is determined by  
multiplying actual weight of equipment by 1.50.  
EXAMPLE: Equipment weighing 800 pounds,  
attached to tractor, multiplied by 1.50, equals 1200  
pounds of effective counterbalance weight at rear  
axle.  
A tractor that does not meet this criteria is  
DANGEROUS and should not be operated as  
upset of the unit can occur resulting in possible  
serious injury and property damage.  
OPS-L-  
0001_A  
4. Getting On and Off the Tractor  
Do not mount or dismount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount  
the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are  
completelystopped. (SG-12)  
Before getting onto the tractor, the operator must read and completely understand the implement and tractor  
operator manuals. If any part of either manual is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for  
a complete explanation. OPS-L- 0022

OPERATION  
7. Driving the Tractor and Loader  
This Implement may be wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting  
this equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails,  
concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and  
Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death.  
Never allow the Implement to contact obstacles. (S3PT-12)  
Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the  
equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this  
equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and  
how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering  
and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.  
Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for  
you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by the following rules:  
Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the Brakes smoothly  
to determine the stopping characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase  
the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases.  
Determine the maximum  
transport speed not to exceed 20 mph (30 kph) for transporting this equipment.  
Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed through the turn only after  
you determine that the equipment can be operated at a higher speed. Use extreme care  
and reduce your speed when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from  
turning over. Determine the maximum turning speed for you and this equipment before  
operating on roads or uneven ground.  
Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds which allow you to properly control  
the equipment.  
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes  
or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance  
increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use  
the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you  
and watch out for the other guy. (SG-19)  
Your driving vision may be reduced or impaired by the tractor, cab, or implement. Before  
driving on public roadways identify any limited vision areas, and make adjustments to your  
operating position, mirrors, and the implement transport position so that you can clearly  
see the area where you will be traveling, and any traffic that may approach you. Failure to  
maintain adequate vision of the public roadway and traffic can result in serious injury or  
even death. (STI-10)

OPERATION  
Use extra care when turning or stopping. Allow for increased length and weight of added  
loader. The loader adds five to six feet of length in front of the tractor and significant weight.  
Allow extra distance when stopping or turning. Do not allow loader or attachment to contact  
solid objects. (SL-07)  
Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and  
precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the  
weight of the implement and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport. To ensure safety while  
driving the tractor with an attached implement, review the following. OPS-L- 0028  
7.1 Driving the Tractor and Loader  
Start off driving at a slow speed and gradually increase your speed while maintaining complete control of the  
tractor and loader. Moving slowly at first will also prevent the tractor from rearing up and loss of steering  
control. The tractor should never be operated at speeds that cannot be safely handled or which will prevent  
the operator from stopping quickly during an emergency. If the power steering or engine ceases operating,  
stop the tractor immediately as the tractor will be difficult to control.  
Perform turns with the tractor and loader at slow speeds to determine how the tractor with an attached  
implements handles a turn. Determine the safe speed to maintain proper control of the tractor when making  
turns. When turning with an implement, the overall working length of the unit is increased. Allow additional  
clearance for the loader when turning.  
To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care and at safe speeds, especially when operating over rough  
ground, crossing ditches or slopes, and turning corners. Tractor rear wheel spacing should be increased  
when operating on inclines or rough ground to reduce the possibility of tipping.  
Use extreme caution when operating on steep slopes. Keep the tractor in a low gear when going downhill.  
DO NOT coast or free-wheel downhill. OPS-L-0030  
8. Operating the Tractor and Loader  
Do not attempt to lift loads in excess of loader capacity.  
Operating loader on a hillside is dangerous. Extreme care is recommended. Keep bucket  
as low as possible.  
Use extreme care when piling material above 6 feet high. Material  
could shift and fall onto the operator or bystanders. The material could  
crush or suffocate the operator or bystander resulting in serious injury  
or death. (SL-17)

OPERATION  
Do not raise the loader on a hillside. Do not transport across a slope with  
a raised loader. When the loader is raised, the center of gravity of the  
tractor and loader is raised increasing the potential for the tractor to tip  
over. Tractor wheel contact with any wash out, drop off or the ground  
obstruction with a raised loader could result in the tractor tipping over and  
causing serious bodily injury. (SL-21)  
Do not operate or raise the loader near the edge of a ditch or where loose  
soil can give way and allow the tractor to tip over. Keep the tractor tires  
away from loose soil or the edge of a drop off. Always wear your seatbelt  
when operating the loader to reduce the possibility of serious injury from a  
tractor tip over or roll over. (SL-24)  
The Boom is designed only to position and operate the Bucket which is attached to it. Never  
attempt to lift, pull, or push other solid objects with the boom or bucket. Serious injury could  
result from a structural failure when the Boom is used for purposes other than those for  
which it was designed. (SBH-9)  
Operate the Tractor and/or Implement controls only while properly seated in the Tractor seat  
with the seat belt securely fastened around you. Inadvertent movement of the Tractor or  
Implement may cause serious injury or death. (SG-29)  
DO NOT operate this Implement on a Tractor that is not properly maintained. Should a  
mechanical or Tractor control failure occur while operating, immediately shut down the  
Tractor and perform repairs before resuming operation. Serious injury and possible death  
could occur from not maintaining this Implement and Tractor in good operating condition.  
(SG-36)  
Do Not operate this equipment in areas where insects such as bees may attack you and/or  
cause you to lose control of the equipment. If you must enter in such areas, use a tractor  
with an enclosed Cab and close the windows to prevent insects from entering. If a tractor  
cab is not available, wear suitable clothing including head, face, and hand protection to  
shield you from the insects. Attacking insects can cause you to lose control of the tractor,  
which can result in serious injury or death to you or bystanders. Never dismount a moving  
tractor. (SG-40)  
Keep bystanders 10 feet away from the tractor and loader while  
operating. The bystanders could enter the path of the tractor or items  
could fall from the loader resulting in serious injury to the bystander. (SL-01)

Allow extra distance when stopping or turning. Do not allow loader or attachment to contact  
solid objects. (SL-07)  
Do not raise the loader into an overhead structure or allow a raised attachment to contact  
overhead structures. Sudden or unexpected contact with an overhead structure could result  
in serious injury. (SL-08)  
Do not let the loader or attachment contact electrical power lines. Contact  
with electrical power lines can result in serious injury or electrocution. If  
the loader attachment 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-09)  
Carry the loader and attachment low when transporting to reduce the  
potential of the tractor tipping over. Transport on slopes only at slow  
speeds and use gradual turning angles. Tractor wheel contact with any  
wash out, drop off or ground obstruction with a raised loader could result  
in the tractor tipping over and causing serious injury. (SL-12)  
Do not work from the loader or attachments. Do now allow any riders on  
the loader, tractor or attachments. Falling off the loader could result in  
serious injury and/or tractor run over. (SL-14)

OPERATION  
Do not use an attachment that is not securely attached to the quick  
hitch, The attachment could fall resulting in severe crushing injuries  
or death to the operator or bystanders.  
Rotate both hitch pin levers down to the locked position. You should feel a firm  
resistance when locking the levers down. The pins must extend through the slots in  
the bottom of the attachment bracket.  
Examine the fit between the quick hitch and the bottom of the attachment bracket.  
The pins must extend through the slots in the bottom of the attachment bracket. The  
tapered side of each pin must be firmly wedged against the surface of the slot on  
the bottom of the attachment bracket. The attachment bucket should fit snugly  
against the bottom of the quick hitch bracket. If there is a gap of more than 1/8” or if  
the pins are not firmly seated do not use the attachment. Contact your dealer before  
using the attachment.  
On level ground, tilt the attachment down 90° degrees and lower it to the ground.  
Lower the loader further to slightly raise the front of the tractor off the ground. Drive  
the tractor in reverse while the attachment is on the ground for 20-30 feet to ensure  
the attachment does not disconnect. If the attachment disconnects during this  
process, discontinue the use of the attachment and contact your dealer.  
NEVER walk or work under or allow any person to be underneath a  
raised loader or attachment. (SL-15)  
Do not operate the loader from the ground. Operate the tractor and loader only while seated  
in the tractor seat with the seatbelt fastened. The loader could fall crushing a person  
resulting in serious injury or death. (SL-16)  
Use extreme care when piling material above 6 feet high. Material  
could shift and fall onto the operator or bystanders. The material could  
crush or suffocate the operator or bystander resulting in serious injury  
or death. (SL-17)  
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)

OPERATION  
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. (SL-35)  
Never leave the Implement and Power Unit unattended while the Implement is in the raised  
position. Accidental operation of a lifting lever or a hydraulic failure may cause the  
implement to suddenly fall causing serious injury or possible death to anyone who might  
inadvertently be under the Implement. Lower the implement carefully to the ground. Do not  
put hands or feet under lifted components. (SPU-3)  
Before dismounting the tractor and loader, lower the loader to the ground or onto solid  
support blocks. Sudden dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious  
injury. (SL-38)  
Make sure the hydraulic quick disconnects are fully seated into the connections. Do not use  
the loader if the hydraulic connection is leaking. Leaking oil could allow the loader to fall  
resulting in a serious crushing injury. (SL-22)

OPERATION  
If the loader valve controls fail to functions properly discontinue use of the tractor and  
loader until the controls are properly repaired. Sudden or unexpected movement or  
dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious injury. (SL-31)  
Make sure all air is purged from the hydraulic system before using the loader. Air in the  
system can cause the loader to respond sluggishly or with unexpected movement. The air  
can be purged from the cylinder lines by fully cycling the cylinders several times from the  
fully closed to fully open position. Sudden or unexpected movement or dropping of the  
loader and attachment could result in serious injury. (SL-32)  
Do not raise the loader on a hillside. Do not transport across a slope with  
a raised loader. When the loader is raised, the center of gravity of the  
tractor and loader is raised increasing the potential for the tractor to tip  
over. Tractor wheel contact with any wash out, drop off or the ground  
obstruction with a raised loader could result in the tractor tipping over and  
causing serious bodily injury. (SL-21)  
Always have a heavy attachment, such as a bucket mounted on loader when it is removed  
from tractor.  
It is important not to put excessive weight on parking stands with lift cylinder retraction.  
Damage may result.  
THE OPERATOR MUST COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND HOW TO OPERATE THE TRACTOR AND  
IMPLEMENT AND ALL CONTROLS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE. The operator must read and  
understand the Safety and Operation Sections of the implement and tractor operator’s manuals. These  
manuals must be read and explained to any operator who cannot read. Never allow someone to operate the  
implement and tractor without complete operating instructions.  
Before starting any operation, the operator must become familiar with the area to be worked in and any  
obstacles and hazards contained within to ensure safety to the operator, bystanders, and equipment. Special  
attention should be paid to foreign debris, rough terrain, steep slopes, and passersby and animals in the area.

OPERATION  
A level bucket throughout the lifting cycle resists  
bucket lift and increases breakaway effort.  
NOTE: Do not be concerned if the bucket is not  
completely filled during each pass. Maximum  
productivity is determined by the amount of material  
loaded in a given period of time. Time is lost if two  
or more attempts are made to fill the bucket on  
each pass.  
LIFTING THE LOAD  
When lifting the load, keep the bucket positioned to  
avoid spillage. Loader has mechanical self leveling  
of attachment in both raise and lower cycle.  
Attachment can be adjusted by using bucket  
cylinders.

CARRYING THE LOAD  
Position bucket just below tractor hood for  
maximum stability and visibility, whether bucket is  
loaded or empty.  
Use extreme care when operating loader on a  
slope, keep bucket as low as possible. This keeps  
center of gravity low and will provide maximum  
stability.  
When transporting the load, keep bucket as low as  
possible, to avoid tipping, in case a wheel drops in a  
rut.

OPERATION  
OPERATING WITH FLOAT CONTROL  
During hard surface operation, keep bucket level  
and put lift control in float position to permit bucket  
to float on working surface. If hydraulic down  
pressure is exerted on bucket, it will wear faster  
than normal.  
Float will also prevent mixing of surface material  
with stockpile material. Float position will reduce the  
chance of surface gouging when removing snow or  
other material.

OPERATION  
LOADING FROM A BANK  
Choose a forward gear that provides sufficient  
ground speed for loading.  
Exercise caution when undercutting high banks.  
Dirt slides can be dangerous. Load from as low as  
possible for maximum efficiency. Loader lift and  
breakaway capacity diminish as loading height is  
increased.  
Side cutting is a good technique for cutting down a  
big pile.  
If the pile sides are too high and liable to cause  
cave-in, use loader to break down the sides until a  
slot can be cut over the top.

PEELING AND SCRAPING  
Use a slight bucket angle, travel forward and hold  
lift control forward to start the cut. Make a short 5 to  
8 foot angle cut and break out cleanly.  
With bucket level, start a cut at notch approximately  
2 inches deep. Hold depth by feathering bucket  
control to adjust cutting lip up or down. When front  
tires enter the notch, adjust lift cylinder to maintain  
proper depth.  
Make additional passes until desired depth is  
reached. During each pass, use only bucket control  
while working depth. This will allow you to  
concentrate on controlling bucket angle to maintain  
a precise cut.

LOADING LOW TRUCKS OR SPREADERS FROM A PILE  
For faster loading, minimize angle of turn and  
length of run between pile and spreader. Back  
grade occasionally with a loaded bucket to keep  
working surface free of ruts and holes. Also, hold lift  
control forward so full weight of bucket is scraping  
ground.  
Do not roll bucket over and attempt to backgrade.  
This type of use can cause severe overloading of  
bucket cylinders when fully extended, possibly  
causing bucket cylinder rods to become bent.

HANDLING LARGE HEAVY OBJECTS  
1. Using front end loaders for handling large heavy objects such as large round or rectangular bales, logs and  
oil drums is not recommended.  
2. Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to:  
Danger of tractor rolling over.  
Danger of up-ending tractor.  
Danger of object rolling or sliding down loader arms onto operator.  
3. If you must perform above work, protect yourself by:  
Never lifting load higher than necessary to clear ground when moving.  
Ballasting tractor rear to compensate for load.  
Never lifting large objects with equipment that does not have an anti-rollback device.  
Moving slowly and carefully, avoiding rough terrain.  
Tilt bucket forward while lifting to maintain bucket angle.

8.2 Operating Bale Spear  
Operate the bale spear using extreme caution. Sharp points on bale spear can cause  
serious injury or death.  
Because of size and weight of large bales, extreme care must be taken in handling them. Be  
aware of forces acting on stacked bales due to gravity and keep workers far from zones of  
potential hazard from shifting or falling bales. DO NOT ALLOW BYSTANDERS!  
Keep bystanders 10 feet away from the tractor and loader while  
operating. The bystanders could enter the path of the tractor or items  
could fall from the loader resulting in serious injury to the bystander. (SL-01)  
Keep bale spear and loader boom clear of overhead lines. Allowing loader boom or any  
attachments to contact overhead power lines may electrify entire tractor and electrocute  
(kill) operator.  
Store the grapple bucket or bale spear attachment with the point(s) on the  
ground. Walking into the point of the bale or grapple spear can cause  
serious bodily injury. Never drive the bale spear or grapple bucket  
attachment forward if a bystander is in front of the loader. (SL-10)  
Loader equipped with bale spear is designed to handle round bales up to 2000 pounds.  
Load bale spear by approaching from round end to  
prevent cutting strings or puncturing plastic or net  
wrap.Tilt bale spear upward to prevent bale from  
falling off of spear,

8.3 Shutting Down the Implement  
Park the tractor on a level surface, place the transmission in park or neutral and apply the parking brake, lower  
the attached implement to the ground, shut down the engine, remove the key, and wait for all motion to come  
to a complete stop before exiting the tractor. OPS-L- 0014  
9. Loader Storage  
Never allow children to play on or around Tractor or Implement. Children can slip or fall off  
the Equipment and be injured or killed. Inadvertent contact with controls can cause the  
Implement to shift or fall crushing themselves or others. (SG-25)  
Properly preparing and storing the loader at the end of the season is critical to maintaining its appearance and  
to help ensure years of dependable service. The following are suggested storage procedures:  
Thoroughly clean all debris off the loader to prevent damage from rotting grass and standing water.  
Lubricate all grease points detailed in the maintenance section.  
Tighten all bolts and pins to the recommend torque.  
Check worn and damage parts. Perform repairs and make replacements immediately so that the loader will  
be ready for use at the start of the next season.  
Store the loader in a clean, dry place resting securely on parking stands at ground level.  
Use spray touch-up enamel where necessary to prevent rust and maintain the appearance of the loader.  
10. Transporting the Tractor and Implement  
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.  
Falling off can result in serious injury or death. (SG-10)

OPERATION  
Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the  
equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this  
equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and  
how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering  
and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.  
Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for  
you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by the following rules:  
Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the Brakes smoothly  
to determine the stopping characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase  
the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases.  
Determine the maximum  
transport speed not to exceed 20 mph (30 kph) for transporting this equipment.  
Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed through the turn only after  
you determine that the equipment can be operated at a higher speed. Use extreme care  
and reduce your speed when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from  
turning over. Determine the maximum turning speed for you and this equipment before  
operating on roads or uneven ground.  
Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds which allow you to properly control  
the equipment.  
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes  
or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance  
increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use  
the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you  
and watch out for the other guy. (SG-19)  
Before transporting the tractor and Loader engage the loader valve travel  
lock to prevent inadvertent contact with the joystick controller causing  
sudden dropping of the loader and attachment. If the loader attachment,  
such as a bucket, were to drop suddenly and hit the ground while  
transporting, the tractor could stop immediately resulting in the operator  
hitting the steering wheel or flying our of the operator’s seat. Serious injury  
could result. (SL-04)  
Lower the loader to the bed of the truck or trailer when transporting the  
tractor and loader with a truck. Measure to ensure the transport height  
does not exceed the legal limits. Contact with overhead obstructions or  
power lines can cause property damage or serious injury. (SL-34)  
Before dismounting the tractor and loader, lower the loader to the ground or onto solid  
support blocks. Sudden dropping of the loader and attachment could result in serious  
injury. (SL-38)

OPERATION  
Inherent hazards of operating the tractor and implement and the possibility of accidents are not left behind  
when you finish working in an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation  
practices when transporting the tractor and implement between locations. By using good judgement and  
following safe transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be  
substantially minimized. OPS-L- 0031  
Before transporting the tractor and loader, idle the  
tractor engine. When transporting, carry the loader  
as low as possible maintaining adequate ground  
clearance and visibility. Reduce tractor ground  
speed when transporting a load. Take extra care  
when traveling over rough terrain or on slopes.  
OPS-L-0011  
Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway  
or boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake  
pedals should be locked together. Locking the  
pedals ensures that both wheels brake  
simultaneously while stopping, especially when  
making an emergency stop.  
Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of  
the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road  
speeds. Never tow the implement at speeds  
greater than 20 MPH (32 kph). OPS-U- 0018  
10.1 Transporting on Public Roadways  
Make certain that the “Slow Moving Vehicle” (SMV) sign is installed in  
such a way as to be clearly visible and legible. When transporting the  
Equipment use the Tractor flashing warning lights and follow all local  
traffic regulations. (SG-6)

OPERATION  
Extreme caution should be used when transporting the tractor and implement on public roadways. The tractor  
must be equipped with all required safety warning features including a SMV emblem and flashing warning  
lights to alert drivers of the tractor’s presence. Remember that roadways are primarily designed for  
automotive drivers and most drivers will not be looking out for you, therefore, you must look out for them.  
Check your side view mirrors frequently and remember that vehicles will approach quickly because of the  
tractor’s slower speed. Be extremely cautious when the piece of equipment that you are towing is wider than  
the tractor tire width and/or extends beyond your lane of the road. OPS-L- 0032  
The SMV (Slow-Moving Vehicle) emblem is  
universal symbol used to alert drivers of the  
presence of equipment traveling on roadways at a  
slow speed. SMV signs are a triangular bright  
orange with reflective red trim for both easy day  
and night visibility. Make sure the SMV sign is  
clean and visible from the rear of the unit before  
transporting the tractor and implement on a public  
roadway. Replace the SMV emblem if faded,  
damaged, or no longer reflective. OPS-U- 0020  
Make sure that all tractor flashing warning lights,  
headlights, and brake/tail lights are functioning  
properly before proceeding onto public roads. While  
newer model tractors have plenty of lighting to  
provide warning signals and operating lighting, most  
older models are only equipped with operating lights.  
Consult an authorized tractor dealer for lighting kits  
and modifications available to upgrade the lighting on  
older tractor models. OPS-U- 0021  
When operating on public roads, have consideration for other road users. Pull to the side of the road  
occasionally to allow all following traffic to pass. Do not exceed the legal speed limit set in your country for  
agricultural tractors. Always stay alert when transporting the tractor and implement on public roads. Use  
caution and reduce speed if other vehicles or pedestrians are in the area. OPS-L- 0020

OPERATION  
10.2 Hauling the Tractor and Implement  
Before transporting a loaded tractor and implement,  
measure the height and width dimensions and gross  
weight of the complete loaded unit. Ensure that the  
load will be in compliance with the legal limits set for  
the areas that will be traveled through. OPS-U- 0024  
Use adequately sized and rated trailers and  
equipment to transport the tractor and implement.  
Consult an authorized dealer to determine the proper  
equipment required. Using adequately sized chains,  
heavy duty straps, cables and/or binders, securely tie  
down both the front and rear of the tractor utilizing the  
proper tie down locations as specified by the tractor  
manufacturer. OPS-U- 0025
