Safety Instructions

Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you, but also the people around you. Make these practices a working part of your safety program. Be certain that everyone operating this equipment is familiar with the recommended operating and maintenance procedures and follows all the safety precautions. Most accidents can be prevented. Do not risk injury or death by ignoring good safety practices.

The alert symbol is used throughout this manual. It indicates attention is required and identifies hazards. Follow the recommended precautions.

The safety alert symbol means…

ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!

CAUTION

The caution symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

WARNING

The Warning Symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

DANGER

The Danger Symbol indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations, typically for machine components that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.

General Safety Instructions

• Have a first-aid kit available for use and know how to use it.

• Have a fire extinguisher available, stored in a highly visible location, and know how to use it.

• Wear appropriate protective gear. This list may include but is not limited to:

- hard hat

- protective shoes with slip resistant soles

- protective glasses or goggles

- heavy gloves

- wet weather gear

- hearing protection

- respirator or filter mask

• Read and understand the Operator’s Manual and all safety signs before operating, servicing, adjusting, repairing, or unplugging the equipment.

• Do not attempt any unauthorized modifications to your Allied product as this could affect function or safety, and could affect the life of the equipment.

• Inspect and clean the working area before operating.

• Keep hands, feet, clothing, and hair away from moving parts.

• Ensure bystanders are clear of the area before operating.

• Improper use of the loader and tractor can cause serious injury or death.

Start-Up Safety

• Do not let inexperienced operators or children run this equipment.

• Place all tractor and machine controls in neutral before starting.

Operation Safety

• Do not permit riders.

• Do not wear loose fitting clothing during operation.

• Operate the loader while seated in the tractor seat only.

• Never leave the tractor unattended while the attachment is raised. Always lower the attachment to ground and shut the tractor off before leaving the tractor seat.

• Never work beneath a raised loader unless it is securely supported. The control lever can be moved or a hydraulic leak could cause the loader to drop resulting in serious injury or death.

Refer to the Lift Lock Instructions Decal for proper use of the lift locks.

• Prior to use, check to ensure the attachment is properly locked to the quick-tach. Verify from tractor seat by lowering the attachment to ground and retracting the lift cylinders.

NOTE:

1. The above table lists the recommended hole spacing for all Allied loaders from 495/2495 to

895/2895 (including Reg/S/HSL/TSL) with standard buckets. If required the grapple may be located to suit specific applications. Verify all clearances between the grapple and the loader.

2. Use the mount bracket weldments (item 5,6) to mark the holes for drilling.

3. Grapple buckets (B459584, B479584, B479596, B489596, B4895102, B4259584, B4279596 and

B42895102) and all large capacity buckets come equipped with pre-punched holes.

4. Holes for hose clamps should be drilled even with either of the mounting bracket holes on top of the bucket.

10

Possible Attachment Interference (S2895 and 2895 TSL)

Regular loader linkage setup allows for maximum rollback.

TSL loader linkage setup provides reduced rollback.

Large attachments (such as the C2000 Grapple) may contact the S2895 or 2895 TSL pivot plate.

This can occur if the loader is fully rolled back. This interference is avoided in factory assembly. The loader linkage can be reversed to increase attachment rollback if large attachments are not used.

See following description below to reverse links.

Before reversing the linkage remove attachments and engage the hydraulic loader lock (refer to the loader manual for hydraulic loader lock instructions).

Remove 1.25 x 7.25 pin item 16 connecting the linkages items 11, and 12.

Remove 1.25 x 6.25 pin connecting the linkage item 12 to the quick attach item 2.

Reverse the (4) linkages, and reinstall pins and quick attach.

Grapple Orifice Kit Instructions

Hydraulic Safety

Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin, causing serious personal injury. Before repairing, adjusting, or disconnecting lines, be sure to relieve all pressure.

Before applying pressure to the system, be sure all connections are tight and the lines, pipes, and hoses are not damaged.

Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for leaks. Use a piece of wood or cardboard instead of hand to check for leaks.

Maintain all components in good working order.

If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.

Installation

Fitting (815563) is provided in the event that grapple opening/closing speed is excessive with chosen hydraulic setup (e.g. high flow, on/off valve systems) Install fitting into the ROD-SIDE port of BOTH cylinders. Failure to install the fitting in both cylinders may result in binding or twisting of the grapple assembly.
