9. Damage and malfunctions
NOTE! After a (near) accident involving the Pitbull, insurers and government bodies may
start an investigation. Do not move the Pitbull or repair any damage until the Pitbull has
been released, unless this is necessary to secure the safety of people or animals.
9.1 Damage repair
If it becomes apparent that damage needs to be repaired or that a preventive repair is necessary, the
component to be repaired must be replaced with an original component included in the parts list.
The parts book can be downloaded via
www.pitbull-loader.com under 'Support'. Any failure to
respect this provision will remove any liability as regards such structural change. Disconnect the
battery and controller before welding to the chassis.
Damage repairs involve more safety risks than regular maintenance. Have damage repaired only by a
damage repairer with the correct qualifications. If you have any questions, please contact the dealer
or manufacturer of the machine.
9.2 Towing
WARNING! It is forbidden to tow the machine. The hydrostatic drive will immediately be
irreparably damaged and become very hot, which may cause damage to other parts of the
machine.
It is forbidden to tow the machine. The hydrostatic drive will immediately be damaged, and this
poses several safety risks to other machine parts and the environment. If the machine can no longer
move of its own accord, it will have to be hoisted.
9.3 Hoisting
WARNING! Never lift or hoist the machine above people, animals, or vulnerable /
dangerous objects. Keep sufficient distance from the above so that the machine cannot fall
against or onto these if a hoisting cable or round sling breaks or tears off.
It is best to lift the machine when it is facing straight ahead. Therefore, if possible, make sure that the
machine faces straight ahead, so that the transport lock can be put in place to prevent kinking of the
steering. In addition, activate the parking brake.
There are several safety risks when hoisting the machine. Always use lifting eyes and hang them up
at the positions indicated with stickers. Attach undamaged hoisting chains or round slings to these
lifting eyes that are able to withstand more than sufficient weight. Keep in mind that dirt,
attachments and loads make the machine heavier than its own weight. Make sure that the hoisting
crane is able to lift the weight. If a mobile crane is used, it must be positioned and stamped in
accordance with the mobile crane's instructions.
WARNING! Damaged and weak hoisting equipment can break or tear, as well as weak
attachment points. Due to the tension on the cables, chains or slings, both ends may shoot
in a certain direction uncontrolled and at high speed. The forces released during this
process can cause fatal injuries, just like the machine itself, if it falls uncontrolled.
Ensure a safe and well-organised environment when hoisting. Hoisting is forbidden if people, animals
and vulnerable / dangerous objects are nearby. If something goes wrong during hoisting, both the
machine and the crane may fall over uncontrollably. Always take into account the height of the crane
and the machine, the distance to be covered and the height to which the machine is being hoisted.
