LOAD HANDLING

WARNING: When using this machine to lift a load make sure that the machine is suitably equipped for this type of work. For this type of work, the machine must be equipped with safety valves, an overload indicator, a load handling chart corresponding to the type of attachment installed on the machine, and a load fixing point.

WARNING: Always work on flat, level ground which is clear of obstacles.!

Stabilize the load a few centimeters above the ground to check that it is balanced before lifting it. Movements must be steady and smooth. You can move quickly without being rough. When travelling with a load, always follow these instructions:

-Align the upperstructure with the undercarriage (work position). IMPORTANT: In the work position, the wheels which control the steering are at the rear. Therefore, the travel and steering controls are inverted.

-Bring the load as close as possible to the undercarriage and the ground. -Always travel at a slow speed, using the travel control lever and with the front axle unlocked.

In the event of hydraulic system failure

Stop the engine immediately. Operate the emergency pump and use the control lever(s) to control the downward movement of the attachment until the load is resting on the ground.
