A tractor that is too smallcan tip over when loader arms are raised due to high centerof gravity.• Hydraulic fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skinand/or eyes causing a serious injury. Wear protective glovesand safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulicsystems. Use a piece of cardboard or wood rather thanhands when searching for leaks.

Also, lift capacity should never exceed 83% of thetractor or skid steer rated lift capacity for an attached frontloader. Always use the smaller number of the two liftcapacities to determine maximum lift capacity.• Check Bale Spear frequently to make sure it is properlyattached and locking pins are properly seated.Section 2: Operating ProceduresOperating ChecklistHazard control and accident prevention are dependentupon the awareness, concern, prudence, and propertraining involved in the operation, transport, storage, andmaintenance of the Bale Spear.
