FUNCTIONS
Euro change frame
The mechanical implement locking mechanism
on Euro change frames is actuated manually.
The implement is hinged with its hooks on the
hook catch on the change frame.
At the bottom, the implement is resting on the
stop of the change frame. Both eyelets of the
implement project into the mounting pockets of
the change frame.
The locking mechanism is held open by the stop.
When turning the actuation lever, the locking
mechanism is closed by the spring, as the locking
pin is pushed through the eyelets of the
implement.
Do not raise the front loader higher than
1.5 m until proper locking of the implement
locking mechanism has been checked!

DANGER
Lethal danger due to loads falling down from front loaders without parallel motion!
On front loaders without parallel motion, the implement tilts to the rear when lifting. As a result, the load
can fall on the driver and cause lethal injuries.
Watch the load as you are lifting. Do not lift the load when reversing.
Compensate for the increased angle on front loaders without parallel motion when lifting by
“dumping” with the implement.
⚠
WARNING
Risk of injury and material damage caused by falling loads or lowering front loader!
With dumping implements that are long or protrude far to the front, the centre of gravity can shift and
cause the pressure relief valve of the front loader to open by itself. As a result, the front loader dumps
or lowers uncontrollably and can lead to serious injuries and damage.
Observe the maximum load of the front loader (see
).
Always use sufficient counterweights at the rear of the tractor (see
During loading work, instruct persons to exit the working area (see
The front loader has 4 basic functions that are required to move the lifting arms and the implement.
