7. HANDLING AND TRANSPORTATION
A switched-off loader stands at instability risk as the grapple keeps
hanging pivotally on the universal joint.
Always secure the loader against tipping over, folding up and/or collap-
sing.
Make sure to close the grapple and set it across travel direction
prior to rolling without a load. DANGER: failure to comply with
this instruction may lead to grapple damages!
