4.Safety
CAUTION:
Risks when handling cargo.
Working with the Wheel Loader may entail additional risks. Through the load it is
also possible that driving characteristics and responsiveness of the Wheel Loader
is strongly influenced.
Therefore observe the following precautions:
•
The load on the Wheel Loader must not weigh more than indicated in section
“Technical data”. Make sure the load in/on the tool is evenly balanced.
• Move the Wheel Loader with the tool up to 30 cm above the ground.
• Adjust your speed according to road and environmental conditions.
• Make sure you always have full control over the Wheel Loader.
• Reduce your driving speed on rough terrain and sharp turns.
• Be especially careful when manoeuvring and reversing.
• Provide a good overview on the work environment.
• The driver determines the limits for ‘safe working’ with the Wheel Loader.
• Do not take risks. Take care with obstacles, uneven terrain and crowded
areas.
• It is not allowed to transport (multiple) objects or loose cargo that protrudes
above the attachment. The Wheel Loader requires a (FOPS) safety roof or
cabin when using certain attachments. The Wheel Loader can tip over when
driving over uneven or damaged terrain. Moderate your speed.
• There is a risk of injury from involuntary movement due to lack of tension and
braking force of the Wheel Loader.
• Only drive perpendicular to an incline or slope. Do not drive across slopes.
CAUTION:
Danger of technical damage!
Never tilt the attachment bracket when driving
without attachment and with fully retracted lifting
arm. Especially when the Wheel Loader is
equipped with a special attachment bracket
(e.g. Euro bracket). This can severely damage
the tyre!
