Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped out
by an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident prevention
are dependent upon awareness, concern,
judgement, and proper training of personnel
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance,
and storage of equipment.
It has been said “The best safety device is an
informed careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator.
TRAINING
Safety instructions are important! Read all attach-
ment and power unit manuals; follow all safety rules
and safety decal information. (Replacement
manuals are available from your dealer). Failure to
follow instructions or safety rules can result in
serious injury or death.
If you do not understand any part of this manual and
need assistance, see your dealer.
Know your controls and how to stop engine and
attachment quickly in an emergency.
Operators must be instructed in and be capable of
the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-
ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to
operate this equipment without proper instructions.
Keep hands and body away from pressurized lines.
Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other body
parts to check for leaks, wear safety goggles.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate
skin and will cause serious injury or death.
Make sure that all operating and service personnel
know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it must
be surgically removed as soon as possible by a
doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene,
serious injury or death will result, CONTACT A
PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID ENTERS
SKIN OR EYES, DO NOT DELAY.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
PREPARATION
Make sure all hardware is properly installed. Always
tighten according to the torque specification table
unless otherwise indicated in this manual.
Do not connect a low pressure hydraulic hose in a
high pressure system – this could burst the hose.
Do not use a high pressure hose instead of a low
pressure hose – this may cause damage on the
valve.
Always use tight clothing to prevent entanglement in
moving parts. Use antiskid safety shoes and protec-
tive equipment for eyes, hair, hands, ears and head.
