Float position
⚠
WARNING
Possible risk of injury due to unexpected movement!
If the front loader is not completely lowered, a vacuum may form in the hydraulic cylinders during the
float position. This causes uncontrolled lowering of the front loader at a later time. This can cause
persons to be injured or crushed.
Only use the float position when the front loader is completely lowered.
Do not use the float position with implements that require the presence of other persons!
Only use the float position if nobody is in the danger zone.
Do not scoop while in float position.
⚠
WARNING
Possible risk of injury due to the implement tipping over!
On L and H front loaders, the float position for the implement may not be activated for the
scooping
and
dumping
functions. This could cause the implement to tip over unintentionally to the rear. This may
result in serious accidents.
The activation of the float position must be ruled out through the assembly on L and H front loaders.
If this is not the case, work with the front loader must be stopped immediately and the specialist
workshop must be contacted, to have the float position deactivated for the
scooping
and
dumping
functions. The front loader may only be used again when the float position has been deactivated for
the
scooping
and
dumping
functions.
The float position is used to improve ground adaptation, since the implement can then follow the ground
contours and "floats" on it.
4.3.1
Lifting arm float position
For the float position of the lifting arms, the
hydraulic cylinders are depressurized, i.e., they
are open towards the tank. The front loader lies
on the ground through the pressure of its own
weight.
Activating the lifting arm float position:
(1) Fully lower the front loader.
(2) Move the operating lever all the way to the
front until it engages (see
The float position is activated.
