General Safety Information
IMPORTANT
:
Due to the weight of the product, handling of the hitch prior to installation should be
done using appropriate lifting aids for the weight, which can be found on the punched
information plate affixed to the side of the hitch.
IMPORTANT
:
Ensures that the machine to which the Pro-Lok quick hitch is installed does not
exceed its safe working load (SWL), taking into account the additional weight of the
hitch, which is stated on the punched information plate affixed to the side of the hitch.
IMPORTANT
:
Be aware that the addition of the Pro-Lok quick hitch will increase the reach distance
of the excavator arm, which may cause it to impact nearby objects and people or to
impact the operators cab, leading potentially to property damage, injury, loss of limb
or fatal injury.
IMPORTANT
:
It is recommended for safety reasons that the machine to which this Pro-Lok quick
hitch is installed is operated by an experienced, competent person, trained to ISO
7130:2013 or later.
IMPORTANT:
If hammers are to be used for long periods of time the quick hitch should be removed
to prevent unnecessary wear.
IMPORTANT:
During installation, no alterations must be undertaken to any protective structure
(e.g., rollover protective structures (ROPS), tip-over protective structures (TOPS), or
falling object protective structures (FOPS) are permitted except where authorised by
the manufacturer, or according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
