SAFETY
TO THE NEW OPERATOR OR OWNER
Clamp-On Pallet Forks are designed as light to medium duty forks to engage and
load palleted materials. Do not use forks to handle large loads such as bales,
posts, etc. and avoid carrying loose or shiftable loads. Be familiar with the
machine before starting.
It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to read this manual and to
train all other operators before they start working with the machine. Follow
all safety instructions exactly. Safety is everyone’s business. By following
recommended procedures, a safe working environment is provided for the
operator, bystanders and the area around the worksite. Untrained operators are
not qualified to operate the machine. Many features incorporated into this
machine are the result of suggestions made by customers like you.
Read this manual carefully to learn how to operate the machine safely and how
to set it to provide maximum field efficiency. By following the operating
instructions in conjunction with a good maintenance program, your Clamp-On
Pallet Forks will provide many years of trouble free service.
Keep the Loader arms and Forks at a low position when moving and when working
on inclines. Do not operate near the edge of drop-offs or banks. Do not
operate at an angle on steep slopes. Drive up or down but not across. Keep
bucket, forks and arms low.
Make allowances for increased length and weight of tractor or other loader
during operation and moving. Remove all sticks, stones, roots and wires from
working area before starting. Take care not to contact overhead obstructions
during operation. Never operate controls from the ground. Operate only from
the operators seat to prevent unexpected loader and fork movement that can
lead to crushing between frame members. Use extra care when handling large
round loads or other shiftable objects unless loader and forks are equipped
with an attachment designed to secure objects. A grapple fork anchor device is
recommended.
Large round loads or loose objects can roll back down loader arms. Secure
objects before raising arms. Keep arms low. Keep bucket/forks away from
overhead power lines. Do not exceed machine lift capacity. Overloading can
cause structural damage and lead to unsafe operating conditions. Never carry,
lift or move people on arms, forks or bucket. Do not use machine as a work
platform. Always use two people to handle heavy, unwieldy components during
assembly, installation, removal or moving. Never place any part of your body
where it would be in danger if movement should occur during assembly,
installation, operation, maintaining, repairing, removal or moving. Do not
walk or work under a raised machine or attachment unless it is securely
blocked or held in position. Do not depend on the tractor hydraulic system to
hold the machine or attachment in place. Never use alcoholic beverages or
drugs, which can hinder alertness or coordination, while operating this
equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while taking
prescription medications. Do not allow riders on the machine or tractor at any
time. There is no safe place for any riders. Do not go under raised loader or
forks. Keep others away. Before you operate the machine, check over all pins,
bolts and connections to be sure all are securely in place. Replace any
damaged or worn parts immediately.
Review safety instructions annually.
