WARNING:
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened
at all times while operating the machine. Falling off powered unit can result in death from being run over
or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times.
INSTALLATION OF BUCKET FORKS
1. Always check the tractor/skid loader to make sure it is in good working condition.
2. Before clamping, ensure the “T” Handle(s) is clear of all loose debris prior to tightening.
3. Unscrew “T” Handle(s) to allow enough space to slide the attachment over the bucket.
4. Slide the clamp-on attachment all the way on. The front edge of the bucket should be completely
inserted into the attachment with no extra space left in front of the bucket edge.
5. Tighten the “T” Handle(s) until the attachment is securely clamped to the bucket.
6. Re-tighten after the first use.
DANGER:
DO NOT operate the tractor/skid loader if the attachment is not securely fastened to the bucket. Always
check and tighten the attachment before each use. If loose, your load and attachment can come off the
bucket creating a dangerous situation that could lead to serious injury or even death.
OPERATION
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of this equipment. They must be 21 years or older
and be properly trained. Operators should be familiar with the attachment, tractor/skid loader, and all
safety practices before starting operation. Make sure all operators have read the Owner’s/Operator’s
Manual(s) and are familiar with the instructions and the safety rules of operation. Be sure your
tractor/skid loader is properly counter-balanced with weights before attempting to lift any load with fork
or receiver attachment. If you are handling loads with both the front-end loader and the 3-point hitch on
the tractor, always load the 3-point hitch attachment first and unload last.
IMPORTANT: Use bucket forks adjusted to the maximum width position possible to increase load
stability.
DANGER:
Never exceed the lift capacity of the tractor/skid loader or bucket attachment accessories. Loads must
be evenly balanced.
DANGER:
Beware of low electrical wires when the tractor/skid loader is raised. Serious injury or death can occur if
contact is made.
