Load diagram
The lifting capacity of the loader is limited by the possibility of tipping around the front axle. The diagram below shows
the tipping loads and max. allowed loads in different loading situations on an even level surface with the loader chassis
in maximum articulation.
The diagrams can be interpreted as follows:
• The diagrams show tipping load and max. load with the
load at different distances from the front axle of the
loader
• Example: If the center of gravity of the load is
750 mm in front of the front axle, max. load is about 700
kg (520) and 820 kg (528/530) with a driver weighing
75 kg and with the 170 kg integrated rear weight
mounted on the loader.
• NOTICE: If the driver leaves the machine, tipping and
max. loads are reduced respectively.
• Tipping load and max. load depend both on the weight
of the driver and the eventual extra weights mounted
on the loader.
• Please note that the diagrams are based on the machine
operating on a level, even and firm supporting ground.
Loads should be significantly reduced when operating
on gradients and/or on soft ground.
• Read the safety instructions regarding handling of
heavier loads.
Transporting instructions and tie down points
Mount the articulation frame lock, shown on page 28, on
the machine during transports. Lower the boom down and
take off battery disconnect switch. Remember to remove
the frame lock after transport!
Tie down points are located on the rear frame on the
sides, and on the front frame close to the boom. Optionally
available are the rear bumper and / or behind the rear
wheels installed tie down brackets (Art. A418746), in
which the straps and slings can be attached.
The loader cannot be towed. It is equipped with hydrostatic
transimission and a hydraulic parking brake which can be
released only when the engine is running and there is
enough pressure in the hydraulic system. In case there
is a technical failure and the engine cannot be started or
doesn’t start, the machine must be lifted e.g. with a forklift
truck and transported to service.
The loader can be lifted by mounting appropriate lifting
slings on the ROPS frame or on the cab LX/DLX. Before
lifting, the attachment and eventual extra weights must be
removed. Mount the frame lock on the machine. Make sure
that the lifting slings cannot move and that the machine
doesn’t swing during lifting. Follow the instructions given
in the operator’s manual of the lifting slings.
Lift a loader with ROPS frame with four straps or slings
approved for lifting and minimum 2 metres in length. Loop
the lifting straps around the four ROPS posts. To lift a
loader with cab LX or DLX, four appropriate lifting eyelets
must be mounted and hooks and chains are required.
Lifting kit A418706 includes all necessary parts to lift a
loader with ROPS frame and kit A417352 to lift a loader
with cab LX/DLX with detailed instructions included.
Lower the boom and mount the articulation frame lock as
shown on page 28. Remove heavy attachment and extra
counterweights before lifting. Never lift a loader with
persons riding the machine.
Eyelets on extra side counterweights are for
installing or removing the sideweight only.
Never attempt to lift the loader from the
counterweigths or use them as tie-down
points.
