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.
