Do not lift or carry anyone on buckets, forks, probes, or any other portion of the loader or loader attachments. 18. Do not allow children or unqualified persons to operate equipment.

5 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PREPERATION 19. Move the wheels to the tractor manufacturer’s widest recommended settings to increase stability. 20. For better stability, always use a tractor equipped with a wide front axle, never use a tractor equipped with a tricycle type front axle. 21. Add rear ballast or rear weight to the tractor to compensate for the load and increase stability. 22. Add recommended rear tire liquid weight or rear wheel weights for increased stability. 23. Do not modify, alter, or permit anyone else to modify or alter the loader, any of its components, or any loader function without first consulting a Mahindra dealer. 24. Assemble, remove, and reinstall the loader only as directed in this manual. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury or death. 25. The loader may shift during shipping and handling, making it unstable on the pallet. Support loader with an overhead hoist or other suitable means prior to removing bands or attaching straps securing loader to pallet. Failure to do so could result in accidental tip-over of the loader that could cause serious injury to you and/or bystanders. BEFORE OPERATION 26. Before starting the engine of your tractor, make sure all operating controls are in park lock or neutral position. 27. Be certain lights and safety markings, as provided by the tractor manufacturer, are clean and operating when transporting the tractor/loader on public roads. Be certain that the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem is visible. Check with local law enforcement for specific requirements. OPERATION 28. Add wheel ballast and/or rear weight to counterbalance tractor/loader for stability at maximum loader capacity. 29. Additional counterweight requirements will vary with loader attachments and equipment application. 30. Move and turn the tractor at low speeds. 31. Carry loader boom at a low position during normal operation. 32. Never travel at high speeds with bucket loaded. 33. Use caution when operating the loader with a raised bucket or attachment. 34. Avoid driving over loose fill, rocks, holes, or anything that may be dangerous for loader operation or movement. 35. Allow for the loader length when making turns. 36. Use caution when handling loose or unstable loads. 37. Gradually stop the loader boom when lowering or lifting loads. 38. When using remote hydraulic tractor valves on some tractors, the loader lift and dump cylinders will continue moving unless the valve handle/handles are manually returned to neutral, or until relief pressure is reached at the ends of piston strokes. Observe the bucket movement and maintain control with valve handle/handles. 39. Travel speed should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times. Where possible, avoid operating near ditches, embankments, and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes, and on rough, slick or muddy surfaces. 40. A loader attachment should be transported in a low position at slow ground speeds. Make turns slowly and use the tractor brakes cautiously. A loaded attachment in the raised position alters the center of gravity location of the machine and increases the possibility of mishaps. 41. Be careful during loading, transporting, and stacking to minimize rolling bales and tractor tip over. 42. Do not use buckets, forks, or other attachments without bale retaining devices. 43. Operate the tractor and loader such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times. 44. When using a loader, be alert of bucket or attachment position at all times. Loader in raised position with bucket or attachment rolled back can dump material onto tractor causing damage or injury to tractor and/or operator. LARGE HEAVY OBJECTS 45. Never use loader for handling large heavy objects, such as large round or rectangular bales, logs, and oil drums unless loader is equipped with attachment that is designed to handle such objects. 46. Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to danger of rolling the tractor over. 47. Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to danger of upending the tractor. 48. Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to danger of the object rolling or sliding down the loader boom onto the operator.

6 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 49. If you must handle large heavy objects, protect yourself by using caution, moving slowly, and avoiding bumps and rough ground. 50. If you must handle large heavy objects, protect yourself by never lifting load higher than necessary to clear the ground. 51. If you must handle large heavy objects, protect yourself by adding rear ballast to the tractor to compensate for weight of load. 52. If you must handle large heavy objects, protect yourself by never lifting large heavy objects that may roll or fall on the operator. 53. Never lift any load from any point of the loader with a chain, rope, or cable unless loader is equipped with a Factory approved attachment that was designed and built for this type of lifting. Always follow lifting instructions included with these attachments. 54. Use only Factory bale probe or bale retaining devise handler attachment when handling round bales. 55. Do not handle large square bales without a retaining device handler attachment. 56. Do not use buckets, forks, or other attachments without bale retaining devices. 57. Do not use loader for handling large, heavy objects such as logs, tanks, etc. SLOPES 58. Stay off of slopes too steep for safe operation. 59. Shift down before you start up or down a hill with a heavy load. Avoid "free wheeling." 60. Use extreme caution when operating on a slope. 61. Always operate up and down the slope, never across the slope. ELECTRICAL 62. Avoid contact with overhead wires, power lines, and obstacles when loader bucket or attachment is raised. 63. Electrocution from power lines can occur with or without contact. 64. Check for underground utilities before digging below grade level. 65. Contact with overhead power lines can cause severe electrical burns or death from electrocution. Make sure there is enough clearance between raised equipment and overhead power lines. HYDRAULIC 66. Do not tamper with the relief valve setting. This will void warranty and could cause damage to loader and/or tractor. 67. Escaping hydraulic fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious personal injury. Do not use HANDS to search for suspected leaks. If injured by escaping fluid, obtain medical treatment immediately. 68. Visually check for hydraulic leaks and broken, missing, or malfunctioning parts. Never use your hand to check for suspected leaks under pressure. Use a piece of cardboard or wood for this purpose. Escaping hydraulic fluid or diesel fuel leaking under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin and cause serious infection or other personal injury. If injured by leaking fluid, seek medical attention immediately. 69. To prevent personal injury, relieve all pressure before disconnecting fluid lines. 70. Before applying hydraulic pressure, make sure all hydraulic connections are tight and components are in good condition. 71. Be sure to purge all the air from the hydraulic system before attempting to raise or lower this machine. 72. When using remote hydraulic tractor valves on some tractors, the loader lift and dump cylinders will continue moving unless the valve handle/handles are manually returned to neutral, or until relief pressure is reached at the ends of piston strokes. Observe the bucket or attachment movement and maintain control with valve handle/handles. 73. Raised loader or boom can fall due to hydraulic system failure. 74. To avoid serious injury or death: Block up or securely support loader and boom before working underneath. 75. To avoid serious injury or death: Purge all air from hydraulic system before attempting to raise or lower loader or boom. 76. To avoid serious injury or death: Stand clear if lowering or raising loader or boom. 77. Do not use hand or skin to check for hydraulic leaks. Use cardboard or wood. Wear eye protection. 78. High pressure oil leaks can penetrate skin causing serious injury and gangrene. Consult a physician immediately. 79. Lower the loader or boom and release hydraulic pressure before loosening fittings.

7 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AFTER OPERATION 80. Before leaving the tractor seat, lower attachment or loader boom to ground, stop engine, lock parking brakes, put all controls in neutral, relieve hydraulic pressure, and remove key before leaving operator's seat. 81. Before disconnecting hydraulic lines, relieve all hydraulic pressure. 82. Make sure all parked loaders on stands are on a hard level surface with all safety devices engaged to prevent loader from falling and being damaged or injuring someone. 83. Always park loader with bucket attached to loader. 84. When a front loader is mounted on the tractor, enter and exit the operator’s seat only from left side of the tractor. 85. Always park loader with a Factory attachment attached to the loader. 86. Special care should be taken to park or store attachments with points or sharp edges in a safe manner. 87. Make sure all parked loaders are on a hard level surface. Engage all safety devices to prevent loader from falling and being damaged or injuring someone. Do not repair loader if it is not mounted on the tractor. Loss of hydraulic fluid or removal of parts could cause loader to collapse resulting in injury. REPAIR 88. Visually check for hydraulic leaks and broken, missing, or malfunctioning parts. Make necessary repairs before operation. 89. To keep mounting kit hardware from loosening during loader operation, hardware must be torqued to specifications noted in operator manual. 90. Always wear safety goggles when servicing or repairing the machine. 91. When servicing or replacing pins in cylinder ends, bucket, etc., always use a brass drift and hammer. Failure to do so could result in injury from flying metal fragments. 92. Never tow from any point of the loader with a chain, rope, or cable.
