Maximum load
Maximum load for the side shift adapter is 1000 kg, and the side shift adapter must be removed when
handling heavier pallets or large buckets. Always refer to the operator's manual of the loader for the safe load
of the loader in different operating conditions.
Use the side shift adapter only when needed for shifting an attachment sideways. The side shift adapter may
get damaged, if it is used for other than lifting or handling of loads.
WARNING
Risk of tipping over - Use the side shift adapter only when needed.
The side shift
adapter reduces the tipping load of the loader by displacing the centre of gravity further
away from the loader. Take the reduction of the tipping load of the loader into account
when handling heavy loads: See the operator's manual of the loader for information about
the effect of distance of the load to the tipping load of the loader.
WARNING
Risk of tipping over - Side shift adapters reduce the
lateral stability of the loader. Always keep load close to
the ground, and always wear seat belt.
Pay special
attention to stability of the loader when a side shift adapter is
equipped with an attachment. The loader may tip over on
inclined or uneven surfaces causing serious injuries from
impact and crushing. Always wear seat belt. Use the side arm
only with loaders that are equipped with ROPS and FOPS.
Avoid abrupt movements and always drive slowly and
carefully on inclined terrains, and on uneven or slippery
surfaces. Use of additional counterweights is recommended.
