Material handling
Make sure to use correct type of attachment for each
handled material. Use correct size and type of bucket
for general loose material handling, and pallet forks
for handling pallet loads. Read the manual of the
attachment, e.g. manual of the bucket, for further
information for safe and correct use. Observe the lift
capacity rating of the loader when planning material
handling operations.
The loader is not intended for lifting operations for
hanging loads; never put slings, chains, or ropes on
the loader boom. Never tie or connect ropes, chains,
slings, or similar to attachments, unless told to do so
in the operator's manual of an Avant attachment.
WARNING
Risk of tipping over - Loader can
tip over when you leave the
driver's seat.
Always put the load
down on the ground before you
leave the driver's seat. Follow safe
stopping procedure shown on page
77.
Handling of heavy loads
WARNING
Risk of tipping over - always
carry heavy loads as close to
the ground as possible, and only
on level ground.
Carrying heavy
loads can shift the centre of gravity
of the loader and lead to tipping
over of the loader. Always
transport the load as low and close
to the machine as possible to keep
the centre of gravity low and for the
best stability.
DANGER
Risk of rolling over - Keep loads
close to ground, and drive
slowly when carrying load.
Always use seat belt.
On uneven ground the loader can
roll over to its side more easily.
Always drive slow and keep loads
close to the ground. Avoid sharp
turns also on level ground. Use
seat belt to stay inside the
protective ROPS. If you don't use
seat belt, there is a risk of getting
thrown off from the driver's seat
and being pinned under the ROPS
in case the loader tips over.
DANGER
Risk of tipping over towards
forward - Keep load close to
ground, drive slowly.
Read operator's manual carefully.
Never drive with heavy loads lifted.
Keep loads, including attachments,
as low and as close to the loader
as possible. See information in this
manual about how to avoid tipping
over.
