Front loader
WARNING: To prevent involuntary loader motion, the loader
joystick controller must be of the self-neutralising type. When the
operator releases their grip on the joystick, the joystick must return
to the neutral position, except for the float detent position in the
loader lowering direction.
WARNING: The risk of overturning increases as the loader is
raised. Be extra careful on slopes when operating the loader.
Always carry the load as low as practical for the conditions.
•
Differential lock
Use the differential lock only when running on loose or slippery ground.
•
Overturning
•
Always consider the way in which the tractor is to be used and the fact
that the centre of gravity of the tractor/implement assembly changes
according to the load being transported or towed.
•
Adapt the tractor speed according to visibility, weather conditions and the
type of terrain.
•
Do not transport loads in the top position. Transport them as low as
possible and balance the tractor with ballast weights.
•
Do not accelerate, brake, turn or release clutch too suddenly when
driving on a slope.
•
If possible, drive so that the heavier end of the tractor is towards the top
of the slope.
•
Work situations with an increased risk of overturning include front-loader
work, lifting of heavy loads with the rear or front linkage, forest work,
especially with a boom, as well as driving on a soft, uneven or inclined
surface.
WARNING: The instructions concerning overturning in this manual
are not exhaustive.
•
Hydraulic/fuel pressure
Do not attempt to locate a leak in the hydraulic system or attempt to close a
leak using any part of your body.
CAUTION: Oil/fuel under high pressure easily penetrates clothing
and skin and can cause serious injuries.
•
Hot surfaces
CAUTION: Be careful of hot surfaces during operation and service
work, in particular the engine and hydraulics components.
•
Fuel-operated heater
WARNING: During the heating period, clean the exhaust pipe of
the fuel-operated heater daily and its surroundings monthly. In
dusty conditions, clean more frequently. There is a risk of dry hay
or other dirt catching fire.
WARNING: When using the heater, the area directly below the
heater must be clear.
