9 - ACCESSORIES
To handle suspended loads proceed as follows:
1. Make sure to know the mass of the object to be han-
dled and compare it with the data listed in the liftable
loads chart
(1) located in the cab. Do not lift loads ex-
ceeding the maximum values prescribed by the table.
NOTICE: The weight of all lifting accessories and the
weight of all other working attachment such as buckets
and couplers must be deducted from the maximum
lifting values prescribed by the table.
2. Press the ON side of the overload warning switch (2)
to activate the overload warning alarm. The overload
warning alarm is intended to avoid lifting of excessive
loads. If an overload condition is detected during the
handling of the load, the message OVER LOAD ap-
pears on the top of the display and the overload warn-
ing alarm sounds.
NOTICE: if an overload condition is detected dur-
ing the handling of the load, place the load onto the
ground and check the load conditions making refer-
ence to the chart located inside the cab.
3. Secure the load with the load handling eye (3) located
on the bucket linkage rod, using slinging devices and
chains adequate for the load to be lifted. In order to
limit the swinging of the load, avoid slinging it with
cables and/or chains too long.
4. Select the A work mode.
5. Extend the bucket cylinder to mid stroke.
6. Check the surrounding working area and make sure
that the path that may be travelled with the load is free
from obstacles.
7. Lift slowly the load, avoiding sharp movements which
could cause swinging of the load. Keep the load near
the machine, to improve the stability and operate,
preferably, along its longitudinal axis, rather than
crossways. Lift the load from the ground the minimum
height required.
8. Position and place the load where desired, making
sure that it is resting on a solid base appropriate for
its mass.
9. Remove the chains.
