Prevent possible injury or death from electrical contact. Beware of the lift clearance when raising the loader to maximum height. Be aware of low electrical wires when the loader is raised. DO NOT leave the operator’s seat if any part of the tractor or loader contacts cables.

1. Carry loads low to help prevent spillage and increase the tractor-loader stability.

2. Raise the loader to the required height with the bucket rolled back.

3. Dump the load.

4. Prevent possible injury or death. DO NOT move the loader multi-function lever to the FLOAT position for lowering the loader. Loss of control results and the loader falls rapidly to the ground due to its own weight.

   Prevent possible machine damage. Start and stop the loader gradually when lowering heavy loads. Never drop a loaded bucket or attachment and “catch” hydraulically. Stopping a load after it has gained downward momentum can damage the tractor or loader.

   To lower the loader, move the multi-function lever forward to start the movement.

   To lower the loader with a heavy load, gradually move the multi-function lever forward to start the movement.
