CAUTION
Always transport heavy loads as low and close to the ground as possible. Keep the
telescopic boom retracted when transporting a bale. Lift only at unloading location while
not driving with the loader.
6.2.1 Material handling
Use maximum load indicated in the diagram of the operator’s manual of the loader as a guideline. Remember
that the actual load carrying capacity varies according to operating conditions, especially unevenness of
operating area has a great effect. Be especially careful when the load sensor indicator is activated. Also,
make sure that the ground surface is firm and follow recommended tire pressures.
WARNING
Risk of tipping over - Avoid overload and keep heavy load close to the loader. Keep
loads close to the ground whenever driving, especially during turns and uneven
terrain.
Pay attention that a heavy load or long distance between the loader and the
centre of gravity of the load will affect the balance and handling of the loader. The use of
additional counterweights is recommended especially when operating smaller loader
models. With heavy loads, the telescopic boom must be kept retracted while moving with
the loader. Always wear seat belt.
WARNING
Risk of crushing - Abrupt movements can cause loss of stability. Movements, such
as stopping, turning, or lowering the boom abruptly, can cause loss of stability. Always
drive slowly and operate the controls of the loader very carefully when handling heavy
loads.
WARNING
Avoid sudden loss of stability - Never drag loads from e.g. a shelf. If the load that
you want to lift from height is too heavy, the loader can tip forward when reversing with
the loader. Never reverse and drag with the loader before making sure that the loader
can handle the load that is being lifted.
6.2.2 Working on uneven ground
Extra caution is needed when using the equipment on inclined terrains and slopes. Drive slowly especially on
inclined, uneven, or slippery surfaces, and avoid sudden changes in speed or direction. Operate the controls
of the loader with careful and smooth movements. Watch out for ditches, holes on the ground, and other
obstacles, as hitting an obstacle may cause the loader to tip over.
Maximum lifting capacity can not be achieved on inclined terrain. On horizontally tilted terrain the load must
not be lifted high. The loader frame articulation should be kept straight when lifting heavy loads; turning the
load during lifting operation will affect the stability of the loader and may lead to overturning of the machine.
