Front loader
WARNING: The programmable features of the joystick or other
controls must not be used to operate a loader. 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.
•
Ensure that no one is in the working area when you are working with a
front loader.
•
Lower the front loader to the down position before leaving the tractor.
•
Observe any special instructions issued by the loader manufacturer.
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.
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.
•
Falling Object Protection Structure (FOPS)
DANGER: The cab structure is designed for protection against
falling objects in accordance with the OECD code 10 (energy level
1362 J).Before operating, make sure the protection is adequate for
your work conditions.
