SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)  
EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES  
Safety of the operator is one of the main concerns in designing and developing a new piece of equipment.  
Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety features as possible. However, every year many  
accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to  
handling equipment.You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following precautions in this  
section. To avoid personal injury, study the following precautions and insist those working with you, or for you,  
follow them.  
In order to provide a better view, certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may show an assembly with  
a safety shield removed. However, equipment should never be operated in this condition. Keep all shields in  
place. If shield removal becomes necessary for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.  
Replace any CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER or instruction safety sign that is not readable or is missing.  
Location of such safety signs is indicated in this booklet.  
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.  
Review the safety instructions with all users annually.  
This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The operator should be a  
responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this equipment’s operations. Do not allow per-  
sons to operate or assemble this unit until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough  
understanding of the safety precautions and of how it works.  
To prevent injury or death, use a tractor equipped with a Roll-Over Protective System (ROPS). Do not paint  
over, remove or deface any safety signs or warning signs on your equipment. Observe all safety signs and  
practice the instruction on them.  
Never exceed the limits of a piece of machinery. If its ability to do a job, or to do so safely, is in question –  
DON’T TRY IT.  
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or safety and  
could affect the life of the equipment.  
In addition to the design and configuration of this implement, including Safety Signs and Safety Equipment,  
hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence, and proper  
training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage of the machine. Refer also  
to Safety Messages and Operation Instructions in each of the appropriate sections of the Tractor and Loader  
Manuals. Pay close attention to the Safety Signs affixed to the Tractor and the Loader.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)  
SAFETY TRAINING  
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our efforts to pro-  
vide safe equipment can be wiped out by a single careless act of an operator.  
In addition to the design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are  
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation,  
transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.  
It has been said, “The best safety device is an informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that kind of an  
operator. It is the operator’s responsibility to read and understand ALL Safety and Operating instructions in the  
manual and to follow these. Accidents can be avoided.  
Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to careless injuries. Read this manual, and the manual for your  
tractor, before assembly or operating, to acquaint yourself with the machines. It is the equipment owner’s  
responsibility, if this machine is used by any person other than yourself, is loaned or rented, to make certain  
that the operator, prior to operating:  
1. Reads and understands the operator’s manuals.  
2. Is instructed in safe and proper use.  
Know your controls and how to stop tractor, engine, and implement quickly in an emergency. Read this manu-  
al and the one provided with your tractor.  
Train all new personnel and review instructions frequently with existing workers. A person who has not read  
and understood all operating and safety instructions is not qualified to operate the machine. An untrained oper-  
ator exposes himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or death.  
Do not allow children to operate this machine.  
PREPARATION  
Never operate the tractor, loader, and attachment until you have read and completely understand this manual,  
the Tractor Operator’s Manual, and each of the Safety Messages found on the safety signs on the tractor,  
loader, and attachment.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)  
PREPARATION (continued)  
Personal protection equipment including hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves are recommended  
during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.  
Do not allow long hair, loose fitting clothing or jewelry to be around moving parts.  
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS!  
Tractors with or without equipment attached can often be noisy enough to cause permanent, partial hearing  
loss. We recommend that you wear hearing protection on a full-time basis if the noise in the Operator’s posi-  
tion exceeds 80db. Noise over 85db on a long-term basis can cause severe hearing loss. Noise over 90db  
adjacent to the Operator over a long-term basis may cause permanent, total hearing loss. NOTE: Hearing loss  
from loud noise (from tractors, chain saws, radios, and other such sources close to the ear) is cumulative over  
a lifetime without hope of natural recovery.  
Operate the loader attachment only with a tractor equipped with an approved Roll-Over Protective System  
(ROPS). Always wear your seat belt on tractors equipped with a ROPS. Serious injury or even death could  
result from falling off the tractor – particularly during a turnover when the operator could be pinned under the  
ROPS or the tractor. Keep foldable ROPS systems in “locked up” position at all times.  
Operate only in daylight or good artificial light.  
Always check to be sure the loader attachment is properly latched on the loader or that lock pins are installed.  
Ensure that all safety shielding and safety signs are properly installed and in good condition.  
Never permit any person other than the operator to ride or board the tractor or implement at any time. ALLOW  
NO RIDERS!  
The use of any loader attachment is NOT recommended on tractor with a tricycle wheel arrangement. Tricycle  
type tractors are unstable for front loader use.  
A heavy load can cause instability in driving a tractor. Make sure the front or rear of the tractor is properly  
counter-balanced with weights. Always drive slowly – especially around turns. An unstable tractor could steer  
badly and possibly tip over, causing injury or death.  
OPERATIONAL SAFETY  
The use of this equipment is subject to certain hazards which cannot be protected against by mechanical  
means or product design. All operators of this equipment must read and understand this entire manual, pay-  
ing particular attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using. If there is something in this manu-  
al you do not understand, ask your supervisor, or your dealer, to explain it to you.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)  
OPERATIONAL SAFETY (continued)  
Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all helpers and bystanders at a safe distance.  
REMEMBER FALLING BALES CAN ROLL OR TUMBLE.  
Beware of low electrical wires when loader is raised. Serious injury or death can result if contact is made.  
Always insert spears into the bale – NEVER under the bale. Failure to insert spears into bale can allow bale  
to roll back when loader is raised, causing serious injury or death.  
Do not handle bales that exceed the bale weight limitations of the loader. Watch for bales that are frozen to the  
ground.  
Carry the bale slowly and as low as possible to the ground.  
Operate the loader controls smoothly, avoiding jerky operation.  
When handling round bales on a slope, always approach the bale with the tractor facing uphill.  
Never use the tractor/loader to stop a rolling bale.  
Only use a tractor equipped with a ROPS cab or rollover protective structure. Keep foldable ROPS systems in  
“locked up” position at all times. Keep seat belt fastened.  
When stacking bales, ALWAYS MAKE SURE BALES ARE PLACED SO THE STACK IS STABLE.  
For operator safety, always keep bale in front of tractor hood. NEVER position bale back over operator.  
ALWAYS BE CAREFUL!  
Always load rear of tractor first and unload last when using a front loader.  
Beware of lift clearance when raising loader to maximum height.  
Keep alert and watch the rear as well as the front when working with the loader.  
When maneuvering close to buildings or passing through narrow areas, be sure to allow sufficient clearance  
for the tractor, loader, and bale. Drive slowly.  
Operate loader from operator’s seat only. Remain at controls until operating cycle is complete.  
Stop loader gradually when lowering or lifting loads.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)  
OPERATIONAL SAFETY (continued)  
Allow for additional length of loader and bale on tractor while turning.  
Never allow anyone to walk or work under a raised loader. Do not use loader for a work platform. Do not lift or  
carry anyone on loader or in bucket or on attachment.  
Set both front and rear tractor wheels wide for increased stability.  
Be sure that people, livestock, or pets are not standing near the machine while operating.  
ALWAYS lower loader to the ground or block securely before performing any maintenance work.  
Stay alert for holes, rocks and roots in the terrain and other hidden hazards. Keep away from drop-offs.  
Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on hillside, over rough ground and  
when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners.  
Reduce speed on slopes and sharp turns to minimize tipping or loss of control. Be careful when changing  
directions on slopes. Do not start or stop suddenly on slopes. Avoid operation on steep slopes.  
When using a unit, a minimum 20% of tractor and equipment weight must be on tractor front wheels. Without  
this weight, tractor could tip over, causing personal injury or death.The weight may be attained with a front end  
loader, front wheel weights, ballast in tires of front tractor weights. When attaining a minimum 20% of tractor  
and equipment weight on the front wheels, you must not exceed the ROPS weight certification. Weigh the trac-  
tor and equipment. Do not guess or estimate!  
Avoid excessive speed during operation.  
ALWAYS lower spear points to the ground when parking tractor. Raised spear points could cause injury to  
people or livestock.  
Always shut off tractor and shift to “Park” or set brakes when leaving tractor. Always lower bucket or attachment  
to ground. Remove key when leaving tractor unattended.  
Before operating equipment: if you have any questions regarding the proper assembly or operation, contact  
your dealer or representative.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)  
TRANSPORT SAFETY  
Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm machinery on public roads.  
The use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some localities prohibit their use.  
Local laws should be checked for all highway lighting and marking requirements.  
When driving the tractor and equipment on the road or highway under 20 mph (32 kph) at night or during the  
day, use flashing amber warning lights and a slow moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem.  
Always be sure the implement is in the proper raised position for transport.  
Reduce speed when transporting mounted implements to avoid bouncing and momentary loss of steering  
control.  
Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.  
Make sure large round bales transported on tractor rear 3 pt. hitch do not obstruct visibility of tractor’s flashing  
lights or SMV sign.  
When transporting large round bales, keep load as low as practical to maximize tractor stability.  
Transporting large round bales on front loaders can limit visibility. Keep load low and go slow if visibility is  
obstructed. Always use extra care.  
Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Reduce speed on rough roads and surfaces.  
Do not drink and drive!  
Watch for traffic when operating near or crossing roadways.  
Turn curves or go up or down hills only at a low speed and at a gradual steering angle. Make certain that at  
least 20% of the tractor’s weight is on the front wheels to maintain safe steerage. Slow down on rough or  
uneven surfaces, and loose gravel.  
Use extreme care and maintain minimum ground speed when transporting on hillside, over rough ground and  
when operating close to ditches or fences. Be careful when turning sharp corners.  
Never allow riders on either tractor or implement. Falling off can kill.  
Be a safe and courteous driver. Always yield to oncoming traffic in all situations, including narrow bridges, inter-  
sections, etc.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)  
MAINTENANCE SAFETY  
Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation to trouble.  
Follow good shop practices.  
- Keep service area clean and dry.  
- Be sure electrical outlets and tools are properly grounded.  
- Use adequate light for the job at hand.  
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation. Never operate the engine of the prime mover in a closed building. The  
exhaust fumes may cause asphyxiation.  
Before working on this machine, drive to a level area, disengage the PTO, lower implement (or if working  
underneath, raise and block securely), shut off the engine, set the brakes, and remove the ignition keys.  
Be certain all moving parts on attachments have come to a complete stop before attempting to perform  
maintenance.  
Never work under equipment unless it is blocked securely. Never depend on hydraulic system to keep imple-  
ment in raised position.  
Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.  
Always use personal protection devices such as eye, hand and hearing protectors, when performing any  
service or maintenance.  
Periodically tighten all bolts, nuts and screws and check that all cotter pins are properly installed to ensure unit  
is in a safe condition.  
When completing a maintenance or service function, make sure all safety shields and devices are installed  
before placing unit in service.  
Never use your hands to locate a hydraulic leak on attachments. Use a small piece of cardboard or wood.  
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin.  
Openings in the skin and minor cuts are susceptible to infection from hydraulic fluid. If injured by escaping  
hydraulic fluid, see a doctor at once. Gangrene and death can result. Without immediate medical treatment,  
serious infection and reactions can occur.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY (continued)  
After servicing, be sure all tools, parts and service equipment are removed.  
Check to ensure all safety signs are installed and in good condition. (See safety sign section for location  
drawing.)  
Do not allow grease or oil to build up on any deck or platform.  
Never replace hex bolts with less than grade five bolts unless otherwise specified, i.e. shear bolts. Refer to bolt  
torque chart for head identification marking.  
Where replacement parts are necessary for periodic maintenance and servicing, genuine factory replacement  
parts must be used to restore your equipment to original specifications.The manufacturer will not claim respon-  
sibility for use of unapproved parts and/or accessories and other damages as a result of their use.  
If equipment has been altered in any way from original design, the manufacturer does not accept any liability  
for injury or warranty.  
A fire extinguisher and first aid kit should be kept readily accessible while performing maintenance on this  
equipment.  
STORAGE SAFETY  
Following operation or when unhooking, stop the tractor, set the brakes, disengage the PTO, shut off the  
engine and remove the ignition keys.  
Never unhitch without using the tongue jack. The tongue is very heavy. Attempting to lift the tongue without  
using the tongue jack could cause strains. Allowing the tongue to fall suddenly and unexpectedly could result  
in crushing injury. Use the tongue jack for lifting the implement only. Overloading the jack can cause failure with  
possible serious bodily injury or even death.  
Store the unit in an area away from human activity.  
Do not park equipment where it will be exposed to livestock for long periods of time. Damage and livestock  
injury could result.  
Do not permit children to play on or around the stored unit.  
Make sure all parked machines are on a hard, level surface and engage all safety devices.  
If blocking is used, make sure it is solid and secure before leaving area.

Using the bucket tilt cylinders, adjust the angle of the  
spear(s) so they are parallel with the center of the hay  
bale.  
Raise the loader and main frame slightly so that the  
bottom of the main frame is about two or three inches off  
the ground. Engage tractor parking brake and shut off the  
engine.  
With the tractor, push the spear(s) into the large hay  
bale. Make sure you have penetrated the hay bale far  
enough so the bale doesn’t want to come off the end of  
the spear(s). If, when you initially pick the bale up, it tends  
to droop forward, this would indicate you have not pene-  
trated the bale far enough.  
Place some solid blocking under the main frame of the  
bale spear attachment for safety.  
Tilt the ends of the spear(s) upward (about 15-20  
degrees) when transporting the hay bales. This will  
reduce any tendency for the bale to slide off the spear(s)  
while being transported.

main spear into the casting socket and align the cross  
hole in the spear with the hole in the socket. Install the

When you have placed the hay bale in the desired loca-  
tion, it is recommended to tilt the spear ends slightly  
downward (5-7 degrees) so as you pull away from the  
bale it will slide off the spear(s) more easily. Different  
location and circumstances will determine the best with-  
draw angle to use.

NOTE: In cold weather, a bale frozen to the ground may  
exceed the lifting capacity of spear and loader. Damage  
to spear or loader may occur. Not covered under  
warranty.  
OPERATION (continued)  
——————————————————  
NOTE: In cold weather, a bale frozen to the ground may  
exceed the lifting capacity of spear and loader. Damage  
to spear or loader may occur. Not covered under  
warranty.  
WARNING!  
NOTE: Soft center bales will tend to droop after being  
lifted by a single spear. Placing the spear in a lower  
position in the bale will allow for more lifting height and  
lessen the load on the stabilizer spears.  
NEVER try to handle two rectangular bales at once  
without the 831095 optional bolt-on uprights  
installed. Failure to use the uprights can allow the  
top bale to roll back when loader is raised, causing  
serious injury or death.  
CAUTION!  
NEVER LET ANYONE CLIMB ON STACKED ROUND  
HAY BALES!  
HANDLING ALL BALES:  
When stacking bales, ALWAYS MAKE SURE BALES  
ARE PLACED SO THE STACK IS STABLE.  
Keep all bystanders at a safe distance. REMEMBER –  
FALLING BALES CAN ROLL OR TUMBLE.  
RECTANGULAR BALES:  
When stacking hay bales or loading vehicles, make  
sure you are operating in an area AWAY FROM OVER-  
HEAD WIRES.  
Using the bucket tilt cylinders, adjust the angle of the  
spear(s) so they are parallel with the center of the hay  
bale. Center the spears with the width of the bale.  
With the power unit, push the spear(s) into the large  
hay bale. Make sure you have penetrated the hay bale far  
enough so the bale doesn’t want to come off the end of  
the spear(s). If, when you initially pick the bale up, it tends  
to droop forward, this would indicate you have not pene-  
trated the bale far enough.  
DANGER!  
Beware of low electrical wires when loader is  
raised. Serious injury or death can result if contact is  
made.  
Do not leave the operator’s seat if any part of the  
tractor or implement contacts electric lines.  
Tilt the ends of the spear(s) upward (about 15-20  
degrees) when transporting the hay bales. This will  
reduce any tendency for the bale to slide off the spear(s)  
while being transported.  
CAUTION!  
Beware of lift clearance when raising loader to max-  
imum height.  
When you have placed the hay bale in the desired loca-  
tion, it is recommended to tilt the spear ends slightly  
downward (5-7 degrees) so as you pull away from the  
bale it will slide off the spear(s) more easily. Different  
location and circumstances will determine the best with-  
draw angle to use.  
WARNING!  
Never exceed the lift capacity of the tractor-loader  
used with the spear attachment.  
NOTE: Optional bolt-on uprights are available to trans-  
port two rectangular bales at a time (see page 23). Order  
#831095 (one pair of uprights).  
A heavy load can cause instability in driving a  
tractor. Make sure the rear of the tractor is properly  
counter-balanced with weights or a bale. Always  
drive slowly – especially around turns. An unstable  
tractor could steer badly and possibly tip over,  
causing injury or death.  
NOTE: Always make sure bale spear fully penetrates the  
bale. Partial penetration locates all the weight of the bale  
on the outer end and can damage spear.

INSTRUCTIONS (continued)  
HANDLE BALES SAFELY  
Improper use of loaders to handle bales can result in  
serious injury or death to the operator. This could be  
caused by the bale tumbling back down the loader into  
the operator’s station.  
For optimum stability and visibility:  
• Become familiar with controls.  
• Be sure anyone operating the loader is aware of safe  
operation and potential hazards. Read and observe  
safety recommendations in loader manual.  
When working on side hills, DO NOT  
RAISE LOADER TOO HIGH. Keep an  
eye on terrain changes. Keep load low.  
• Operate loader from operator’s seat only. Remain at  
controls until operating cycle is complete.  
• Carry the bale slowly and as low as possible to the  
ground.  
WARNING!  
For multiple spear models, always insert spears  
into the bale – NEVER under the bale. Failure to insert  
spears into bale can allow bale to roll back when  
loader is raised, causing serious injury or death.  
• Operate the loader hydraulic controls smoothly,  
avoiding jerky operation.  
• When handling round bales on a slope, always  
approach the bale with the power unit facing uphill.  
TRANSPORTING  
——————————————————  
• Never use the tractor/loader to stop a rolling bale.  
• Stop loader gradually when lowering or lifting loads.  
CAUTION!  
When traveling on public roads, whether at night or  
during the day, use accessory light and devices for  
adequate warnings to operators of other vehicles.  
Comply with all federal, state and local laws.  
• Use particular care when working on inclines and  
hillsides.  
• Avoid holes, ditches, and obstructions which may  
cause tractor/loader to tip.  
Carry load low.  
Check visibility. If visibility is impaired, reduce speed or  
consider other means of bale transport.  
• Allow for additional length of loader on tractor while  
turning.  
Allow for additional length of loader and spear attach-  
ment on tractor while turning.  
• Never allow anyone to walk or work under a raised  
loader.  
Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting  
from one area to another. When traveling on roadways,  
transport in such a way that faster moving vehicles may  
pass you safely.  
• Be sure that people, livestock, or pets are not stand-  
ing near the machine while operating.  
Travel slowly over rough ground or when making  
turns.  
When traveling over rough or hilly terrain or when  
making turns, slow down and use extra care.  
• Drive slowly through gates and doors.  
Read all the safety warnings in the front of this manu-  
al and in the manual of tractor.  
• Lower bucket or attachment to ground when loader is  
unattended.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
MOST ACCIDENTS OCCUR BECAUSE OF NEGLECT OR CARELESSNESS.  
AVOID NEEDLESS ACCIDENTS BY FOLLOWING ALL OF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED BELOW.  
Machinery should be operated only by those who are  
responsible and are authorized to do so.  
Reduce speed when transporting mounted implements  
to avoid bouncing and momentary loss of steering  
control.  
Stop the engine, lower all equipment, lock the brakes,  
and remove the ignition key before dismounting from the  
tractor.  
A heavy load can cause instability of the tractor. Use  
extreme care during road travel. Slow down on turns and  
watch out for bumps. Tractor may need front counter-  
weights to counter-balance the weight of the implement.  
Never stand between tractor and implement while tractor  
is being backed to hitch.  
Reduce speed on hillsides or curves so there is no  
danger of tipping.  
Loose fitting clothing should not be worn, to avoid catch-  
ing on various parts.  
Avoid driving too close to the edge of ditches or creeks.  
Detach implement in area where children normally do not  
play.  
Do not transport implement on public roads without  
reflectors and slow moving vehicle emblem in daylight  
and with approved warning lights at night and other  
periods of poor visibility.  
When performing adjustments or maintenance on an  
implement, first lower it to the ground or block it securely  
at a workable height.  
Due to the width of some implements, use extra caution  
on highways, farm roads, and when approaching gates.  
Only a qualified operator should be permitted on tractor  
when in operation; no riders allowed.  
Make certain everyone is in the clear before starting  
tractor or raising or lowering equipment.  
Always be sure the implement is in the proper position for  
transport.  
Operate the tractor and implement only while seated in  
the driver’s seat.  
Keep alert and watch the front as well as the rear when  
working with the implement.
