1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION The E215C / E245C excavator is a hydraulically operated machine. It consists of an undercarriage fitted with tracks and a swing bearing which supports the upper frame. The upper frame supports the attachment, the engine, the hydraulic components, the cab, the fuel tank and the counterweight. When the operator activates the controls (pedals/ levers), the hydraulic pumps, operated by the engine, sucks the oil from the tank, sending it to the control valve which sends the oil to perform the request operation. A cooling system maintains the hydraulic oil at normal operating temperature.

INTENDED USE ATTENTION: do not use the excavator for operations which are foreign to its specifications and not included in this manual in order to prevent serious injury to persons or damage to the machine. The manufacturer/dealer is not responsible for damage caused by improper use.

The excavator has been designed to carry out digging and earth moving operations through the use of a bucket.

Operations that involve the use of hydraulic hammers or crushers are also possible. Other operations, such as moving suspended loads, are only possible if the specific variant approved by the manufacturer is present.

Using the excavator and its equipment for different operations, such as, for example, towing, transporting and lifting people, is considered inappropriate and is prohibited.

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

Biodiesel fuel - Biodiesel fuels Biodiesel usage in NEW HOLLAND CONSTRUCTION products Introduction to Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) biodiesel FAME biodiesel, called biodiesel fuel in the following section, consists of a family of fuels derived from vegetable oils treated with methyl esters.

There are two main biodiesel fuel types: Rapeseed Methyl Ester (RME) and Soybean Methyl Ester (SME).

RME is a blend of rapeseed and sunflower methyl ester, and is the preferred crop in Europe. SME is the preferred crop in the United States.

Biodiesel fuel is a renewable alternative fuel source. Its use and development is promoted worldwide, especially in Europe and in the United States.

Biodiesel fuel can be used to run diesel engines as pure biodiesel fuel or when blended with standard diesel fuel: •

B5: indicates the blend of 5 % biodiesel and 95 % diesel fuels.

•

B7: indicates the blend of 7 % biodiesel and 93 % diesel fuels.

•

B20: indicates the blend of 20 % biodiesel and 80 % diesel fuels.

•

B100: indicates pure biodiesel, or 100 % biodiesel fuel. Do not use.

Biodiesel fuel has several positive features in comparison with diesel fuel:

Pure biodiesel (B100) specification is covered by the following requirements: •

Europe: EN 14214:2009 - Automotive fuels. Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) for diesel engines. Requirements and test methods.

•

DIN V 51606 - German standard for biodiesel.

Before raw oil can be converted into usable biodiesel fuel, it must undergo transesterification to remove glycerides. During the transesterification process, the oil reacts with an alcohol to separate the glycerine from the fat or vegetable oil. This process leaves behind two products: methyl ester (the chemical name for biodiesel) and glycerine (a byproduct usually sold for use in soaps or other products).

NOTICE: Biodiesel fuels approved for use in the NEW HOLLAND CONSTRUCTION equipment must be transesterified and comply with the European Standard EN14214 or the German standard DIN V 51606.

NOTICE: Cold Pressed Biodiesel, Cold Pressed Oil, Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO), or more generally unrefined vegetable oils used as motor fuel, are fuels that are normally made from Rapeseed oil or similar high oil content crops. These kinds of fuel are not transesterified, so they do not fulfil the EN14214 requirements. There is no recognized quality standard available for these types of fuel. Therefore the use of Cold Pressed Biodiesel, Cold Pressed Oil, Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO), or more generally unrefined vegetable oils used as motor fuel are NOT APPROVED at any blend in any NEW HOLLAND CONSTRUCTION product.

•

Biodiesel fuel adds lubricity to the fuel, which is beneficial in many circumstances, particularly as sulfur and aromatics are removed from the fuel.

•

Biodiesel has a greater cetane number and burns cleaner.

NOTICE: Any engine and fuel injection equipment fitted to a NEW HOLLAND CONSTRUCTION vehicle found to have run with any blend of NON-APPROVED fuel (fuel not fulfilling the specification described in the requirement EN14214) will no longer be covered for Warranty by NEW HOLLAND CONSTRUCTION.

•

Biodiesel produces less particulate matter and reduces smoke emissions.

Biodiesel fuel usage conditions

•

Biodiesel is fully biodegradable and non-toxic.

You must stringently follow the biodiesel fuel usage conditions. Incorrect application of the biodiesel fuel usage conditions could lead to severe damage to the engine, fuel injection equipment and aftertreatment system.

Diesel and biodiesel fuel specifications Tier 4a diesel fuel specifications are covered by the following: •

EN 590 - Specification of Diesel fuel. (10 ppm sulfur maximum.)

Biodiesel blends are covered by: •

European Diesel Fuel Specification EN 590 allows up to 7 % biodiesel since 2009. European fuel suppliers are allowed to use up to 7 % biodiesel fuel (B7) to supply the network.

The main concerns related to operation with biodiesel fuels are: •

Filters and injector blockage caused by poor fuel quality.

•

Wear and corrosion of internal components due to water content, which affects lubricity.

•

Deterioration of some rubber sealing compounds in the fuel system.

•

Biodiesel oxidation, which can lead to the formation of deposits that can harm the fuel injection system.

1-9

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

NOTICE: Any problem in the engine fuel injection equipment associated with non-compliance to the following conditions for biodiesel fuel handling and maintenance will not be covered for Warranty by NEW HOLLAND CONSTRUCTION.

NOTICE: NEW HOLLAND CONSTRUCTION may void your warranty if the problem is associated with poor fuel quality due to improper blending. It is the responsibility of the fuel supplier and/or yourself to ensure the right type of fuel and blend is delivered and used.

Purchase biodiesel fuel from a trusted supplier who understands the product and maintains acceptable fuel quality. It is highly recommended that you use biodiesel from BQ 9000 accredited suppliers to maintain the quality and consistency of the fuel. The BQ 9000 Quality Management Program is accredited by the National Biodiesel Board for producers and marketers of biodiesel fuel. See the National Biodiesel Board website at www.biodiesel.org for more information.

Maintenance intervals

The use of biodiesel blends above B7 through B20 will not void the NEW HOLLAND CONSTRUCTION warranty as long as the following conditions for biodiesel fuel handling and maintenance are stringently followed: Biodiesel fuel must be pre-blended by the supplier. Mixing biodiesel fuels on-site can result in an incorrect mixture that could damage the engine and/or fuel system.

For machines using Tier 4a engines with SCR aftertreatment: 1.

The biodiesel blend stock must fully meet the latest fuel specification EN 14214:2009.

2.

If the biodiesel blend stock to DIN V 51606 is used, special precautions need to be taken to insure that it fully complies with the following special requirements:

3.

•

Group I Metals content (Sodium + Potassium) is ≤ 5 mg/kg per EN14108 as specified in the biodiesel spec.

•

Group II Metals content (Calcium + Magnesium) is ≤ 5 mg/kg per EN14538 as specified in the biodiesel spec.

•

Phosphorus content lower than specified is a mandatory requirement. Phosphorus must not exceed 4 mg/kg per EN14107.

The resulting greater than B7 through B20 blend must not exceed 1 mg/kg for Group I Metals (Sodium + Potassium) and for Group II Metals (Calcium + Magnesium).

For machines using the all electronic engines with a high pressure common rail fuel system, the engine oil and filter change interval is not affected when using biodiesel blends up to B20.

Check all hoses, connections and gaskets to ensure integrity and cleanliness every 3 months or 150 hours of operation, whichever comes first.

Regular oil sampling is highly recommended to monitor for oil and engine deterioration.

NOTE: Oil sampling kits are available from your authorized NEW HOLLAND CONSTRUCTION dealer.

When switching back from biodiesel to regular EN 590 or #2 diesel, all fuel filter, oil and oil filter should be changed even if this falls between routine service intervals.

Storage The machine should not be stored for more than three months with biodiesel in the fuel system. For longer storage time, it is strongly suggested that only regular EN 590 or #2 diesel fuel is used.

NOTE: If storage for longer than 3 months is necessary, the engine must be run on regular EN 590 or #2 diesel for a minimum of 20 h to flush the biodiesel fuel out of the fuel system prior to storage.

Biodiesel is highly hygroscopic and tends to collect water more than diesel fuel. This increases the risk of algae and bacteria growth which can cause severe damage to the fuel injection system. Keep the machine fuel tanks and on-site storage tanks as full as possible to limit the amount of air and water vapors inside the tank. Drain water from the tanks at least once a week.

NOTICE: Do not use biocide additives on Tier 4a engines with an exhaust aftertreatment system.

NOTICE: For machines using Tier 4a engines with SCR aftertreatment in regions where the biodiesel blend stock is supplied to the DIN V 51606 standards, it is essential that evidence of compliance to the special limits for Group I Metals, Group II Metals and the reduced phosphorus content specified above be obtained on every delivery of fuel from the fuel supplier. Failure to comply with this requirement can result in damage to the SCR system which will not be covered under warranty.

2 - SAFETY INFORMATION

2 - SAFETY INFORMATION Safety rules GENERALITIES Read the Operator's manual carefully before starting, operating, maintaining, fuelling or servicing the machine.

Carefully read the explanation to each and all safety signs in the special section of this Manual before starting, operating, maintaining, fuelling or servicing the machine.

Machine-mounted safety decals are color coded yellow with black borders when they refer to points where special ATTENTION must be paid and failure to observe them may cause a serious DANGER to the integrity of machine operators. It is fundamental that all machine operators know very well the meaning of each safety decal as this considerably decreases operating hazards and accidents.

Do not allow unauthorized personnel to operate or service this machine.

Do not wear rings, wrist watches, jewelry, loose or hanging garments, such as ties, torn clothing, scarves, unbuttoned or unzipped jackets that can get caught in moving parts. Wear certified safety clothes such as: hard hat, no-slip footwear, heavy gloves, ear protection, safety glasses , reflector vests, respirators every time the job requires it. Ask your employer about safety regulations in force and protective equipment.

Always keep the operator’s compartment, step plates, grab-rails and handles clean and clear of foreign objects, oil, grease, mud or snow to minimize the danger of slipping or stumbling.

Remove mud or grease from your shoes before operating the machine. Do not jump on or off the machine. Always keep both hands and one foot, or both feet and one hand in contact with steps and/or grab rails.

Do not use controls or hoses as hand holds. Hoses and controls are movable parts and do not provide solid support. Besides, controls may be inadvertently moved and cause unexpected movement of the machine or its attachments.

Never operate the machine or its attachments from any position other than sitting in the driver’s seat. Keep head, body, limbs, hands and feet inside the operator’s compartment at all times to reduce exposure to external hazards.

Be careful of possible slippery conditions of the steps and hand rails as well as of the ground around the machine.

Wear protective boots or shoes with the soles made of highly no-slip rubber.

Do not leave the machine until it has come to a complete stop.

Always check height, width and weight limitations which may be encountered in the working site and ensure the machine does not exceed them.

Assess exact paths of gas ducts, water mains, telephone lines, sewers, overhead and underground electric lines and all other possible obstacles.

Such paths should be opportunely defined by competent Authorities. If necessary, require that the service is inter-

rupted or said installations are moved prior to starting the work.

Define the rear upperstructure swing area and provide for opportune barriers to prevent access into it.

Never exceed machine lifting capacity. Remain within the limits shown in the loading capacity chart which located on the machine.

STARTING Never start or operate a failed machine. Walk all around the machine before mounting.

Before operating the machine, make sure that any possible dangerous condition has been properly removed. Before starting machine, always check that all controls are in neutral position and that the safety lever is in lock position.

Immediately report any malfunction of parts or systems to the maintenance managers for proper action.

Prior to starting the engine, check, adjust and lock the driver’s seat for maximum riding comfort and control accessibility. Prior to operating the machine and/or its attachments, check that bystanders are outside the machine operating range. Sound the horn.

Obey all hand signals, safety indications and signs. Due to the presence of flammable fluids, never check fuel level, refuel, charge the batteries in the presence of smoking materials, open flames or sparks.

Adjust all rear-view mirrors for maximum visibility of the area behind the machine.

Ensure that engine speed is appropriate to the job to be carried out.

If any hydraulic control or system exhibits erratic performance or responds abnormally, have the machine checked for air in the system.

Air in these circuits may cause incorrect movements with consequent accident hazard. Refer to the Operator's manual about corrective action to be taken.

OPERATING Do not run the engine in closed buildings without proper ventilation capable to remove harmful exhaust gases which concentrate in the air.

Keep the operator’s compartment free of foreign objects, especially if not firmly secured. Never use the machine to transport objects, unless proper securing points are provided.

Do not carry riders on the machine. Study and familiarize with escape routes alternative to normal exit routes. For your personal safety, do not climb on or off the machine while it is in motion.

Make sure that bystanders are clear of the machine operating range before starting the engine and operating the attachment. Sound the horn.

Obey all hand signals, safety indications and signs.

2-1

2 - SAFETY INFORMATION

When backing, always look to where the machine is to be moved.

Be alert of the position of bystanders. Should someone enter the work area, stop the machine. Maintain a safe distance from other machines or obstacles to ensure required visibility conditions.

Always give way to loaded machines.

Maintain a clear vision of the surroundings of the travel or work area at all times. Keep cab windows clean and repaired.

When pulling loads or towing through a cable or chain, do not start suddenly at full throttle. Take-up slack carefully. Avoid kinking or twisting chains or cables. Carefully inspect the towing items for flaws or problems before proceeding. Do not pull through a kinked chain or cable as the high anomalous stresses existing in this condition may induce failures in the kinked portion.

Always wear heavy gloves when handling chains or cables.

Chains and cables should be securely anchored using suitable hooks. Anchor points should be strong enough to withstand the expected load.

Keep anyone clear of anchor points and cables or chains.

Do not pull or tow unless the operator’s compartments of the machines involved are properly protected against possible backlash in case of cable or chain failure or detachment.

Be alert of soft ground conditions close to newly constructed walls. The fill material and machine weight may cause the wall to collapse under the machine.

In darkness, check area of operation carefully before moving in with the machine. Use all lights provided. Do not move into low visibility areas.

If the engine tends to slow down and stall for whatever reason under load or at idle, immediately report this problem to the maintenance managers for proper action. Do not operate the machine until this condition is corrected.

Regularly check all exhaust system components, as exhaust fumes are toxic for the operator.

Operators must know the performance of the machine they are driving. When working on slopes or near sudden level drops in the terrain, pay attention not to lose adherence and avoid loose soft ground since overturn or loss of machine control could result.

If noise level is high and exceeds 90 dB (A) over 8 hours at the operator’s ear, wear approved ear protection in compliance with local regulations.

Do not operate the machine if you are extremely tired or feel ill. Be especially careful towards the end of the working shift.

Where removable counterweights are provided, do not operate the machine if they have been removed.

When operating the machine, keep in mind height limits of overhead doors, arches, overhead cables and lines as well as width limits of corridors, roads and narrow passages.

Also, get to know load limits of the ground and paving type of the ramps you are to work on.

Beware of fog, smoke or dust that obscure visibility.

Always inspect the working area to identify potential risks such as: inclines, overhangs, trees, demolition rubble, fires, ravines, steep slopes, rough terrain, ditches,

crowns, ridge trenches, diggings in traffic areas, crowded parking lots, crowded service areas, fenced zones. In such conditions, proceed with extreme care.

Whenever possible, avoid crossing over obstacles such as very rough terrain, rocks, logs, steps, ditches, railroad tracks.

When obstructions must be crossed, do so with extreme care and at a square angle, if possible. Slow down.

Ease up to the break-over point, pass the balance point slowly and ease down the other side also using the attachment, if necessary.

To overcome deep trenches or sinking ground, place the machine perpendicular to the obstacle, drastically reduce ground speed and start crossing using also the attachment if necessary, only after assessing that ground conditions allow the traverse safely and without risks.

The gradient you may attempt to overcome is limited by factors such as ground conditions, load being handled, machine type and speed, and visibility. There is no substitute for good judgement and experience when working on slopes.

Avoid operating the attachment too close to an overhang or high wall, either above or below the machine. Beware of caving edges, falling objects and landslides. Remember that such hazards are likely to be concealed by bushes, undergrowth and such.

Avoid bushes, logs and rocks. Never drive over them, nor over any other surface irregularities that discontinue adherence or traction with the ground, especially near slopes or drop-offs.

Be alert to avoid changes in adherence conditions that could cause loss of control. Work with extreme care on ice or frozen ground and on stepped slopes or near drop-offs.

The word “bulldozing” generally refers to work in virgin rough terrain, characterized by the presence of all the perils and risks listed above. We emphasize the danger represented in these conditions by large tree limbs (possibly falling on the machine) and large roots (which may act as a leverage under the machine when up-rooted and cause the unit to overturn).

Position the machine dependent upon the loading and unloading areas in order to swing leftward to load to obtain best visibility.

Never use the bucket or attachment as a man lift or carry riders. Never use the machine as a work platform or scaffolding. The machine must not be improperly used for works not consistent with its features (such as pushing railway cars, trucks or other machines).

Always pay attention to people within the machine operating range.

Never move or stop the bucket, other loads or the attachment above ground personnel or truck cabs.

Ensure the truck driver is in a safe place before loading the truck. Load trucks from side or rear.

Use only the type of bucket recommended considering machine type, materials to be handled, material piling up and loading characteristics, ground type and other typical conditions of the work to be performed.

When transporting a loaded bucket, keep it as rolled-back as possible. Keep boom and arm as low as possible.

Ground speed should be adequate to the load and ground conditions.

2-2

2 - SAFETY INFORMATION

The load must always be properly arranged in the bucket; move with extreme care when transporting oversize loads.

Do not lift and move the bucket overhead where persons are standing or working, nor downhill when working on a slope as this would decrease machine stability. Load the bucket from the uphill side.

Loads to be raised using the machine should be exclusively hooked to the hitch specially provided.

The excavator is no lifting and transportation means, therefore it should not be used to position loads accurately. Should it be exceptionally used to lift and lay building components, special caution must be taken as follows: •

The machine must be equipped compulsorily with the appropriate variant provided upon request.

•

Secure the loads to be raised using cables or chains fastened with appropriate hooking mechanisms.

•

Nobody should be allowed to remain under the raised load or within the excavator operating range for any reason whatever.

Never exceed specified loading capacity. Incorrect fastening of slings or chains may cause boom/arm failure or failure of the lifting means with consequent bodily injuries and even death.

Always ensure that slings and chains used for lifting are adequate to the load and in good condition.

All loading capacities are referred to the machine on a level surface and should be disregarded when working on a slope.

Avoid travelling across slopes. Proceed from uphill downhill and vice-versa. If machine starts slipping sideways when on a slope, lower the bucket and thrust bucket teeth into the ground.

Working on slopes is dangerous. Grade the working area if possible. Reduce work cycle time if it is not possible to grade the working area.

Do not move full bucket or a load from uphill downhill as this would reduce machine stability.

Do not work with the bucket turned to the uphill side.

Do not work with the bucket turned uphill as counterweights protruding downhill would reduce machine stability on the slope and increase risk of overturning.

We recommend to work on slopes with the bucket downhill, after checking machine stability with the bucket empty and attachment retracted, by slowly swinging the upper structure by 360°.

Position the carriage at a right angle relative to slopes, hanging walls, etc. to exit the working area easily.

Keep the machine sufficiently far from the ditch edge.

Never dig under the machine.

Should it be necessary to dig under the machine, always ensure that digging walls are opportunely propped up against landslide to prevent the machine from falling into the trench.

Do not swing the upperstructure, raise the load or brake abruptly if not required. This may cause accidents.

Prior to beginning the work near gas distribution mains or other public utilities:

•

Contact the company owner of the gas mains or its nearest branch before starting the work.

•

Define together which precautions should be taken to guarantee work safety.

•

Decrease work speed. Reaction time could be too slow and distance evaluation wrong.

•

When working near gas mains or other public utilities installations, appoint a person in charge of signalling duties. This person will have the responsibility of observing the machine, any part of it and/or the load approaching the gas mains from a standpoint more favorable than the Operators. This signal man (flag-man) must be in direct communication with the Operator and the Operator must pay undivided attention to the signals supplied.

•

The gas distributing Company, if previously advised and involved in the work, as well as machine Operator, Owner and/or any natural person or legal entity having rent or leased the machine or being responsible at the time by contract or by law, are liable for the adoption of the necessary precautions.

Working near electric lines can be very dangerous, therefore some special precautions must be observed.

Within this manual, “work near electric lines” means when the attachment or load raised by the excavator (in any position) may reach the minimum safety distance established by local or international Safety Regulations.

To work without risks, keep maximum possible distance from electric lines and never trespass minimum safety distance.

•

Contact the Company owner of the electric lines or its nearest branch before starting the work.

•

Define together with the Company representative which precautions should be taken to guarantee work safety.

•

All electric lines should be considered as operative live lines even though it might be well known that the line in question is out of work and visibly connected to the ground.

•

The Electric Power Company, if previously advised and involved in the work, as well as machine Operator, Owner and/or any natural person or legal entity having rent or leased the machine or being responsible at the time by contract or by law, are liable for the adoption of the necessary precautions.

•

Decrease work speed. Reaction time could be too slow and distance evaluation wrong.

•

Warn all ground personnel to keep clear of the machine and/or load at all times. If the load has to be guided down for laying, consult the Electric Power Company to know which precautions should be taken.

2-3

2 - SAFETY INFORMATION

•

Appoint a person in charge of signalling duties. This person will have the responsibility of observing the machine, any part of it and/or the load approaching the electric lines from a standpoint more favorable than the Operator. This signal man (flag-man) must be in direct communication with the Operator and the Operator must pay undivided attention to the signals supplied.

When working in or near pits, in ditches or very high walls, check that the walls are sufficiently propped up to avoid cave-in hazards.

Pay the utmost attention when working near overhang walls or where landslides may take place. Make sure that the support surface is strong enough to prevent landslides.

When digging, there is the risk of cave-ins and landslides.

Always check ground conditions and conditions of the material to be removed. Support everywhere it is required to prevent possible cave-ins or landslides when: •

Digging near previous trenches filled with material.

•

Digging in bad ground conditions.

•

Digging trenches subject to vibration from railroads, working machines or highway traffic.

STOPPING When the machine is to be stopped for whatever reason, always check that all controls are in the neutral position and that the safety lever is on the lock position to guarantee risk-free start-up.

Never leave the machine unattended with the engine running.

Prior to leaving the driver’s seat, and after making sure that all people are clear of the machine, slowly lower the attachment until resting it safely to the ground. Retract possible auxiliary tools to the closed safety position.

Check that all controls are in the neutral position. Move engine controls to the shut-down position. Switch off the key-start switch.

Park the machine in a non-operating and no-traffic area.

Park on firm level ground. If this is not possible, position the machine at a right angle to the slope, making sure there is no danger of uncontrolled sliding.

If parking in traffic lanes cannot be avoided, provide appropriate flags, barriers, flares and other signals as required to adequately warn the oncoming drivers.

Always switch off the key-start switch before cleaning, repairing, or parking the machine to prevent accidental unauthorized start-up.

Never lower the attachment or auxiliary tools other than from sitting in the operator’s seat. Sound the horn. Make sure that nobody is within the machine operating range.

Lower the attachment slowly. Securely block and lock the machine every time you leave it unattended. Return keys to the safe place previously agreed upon. Perform all necessary operations for stopping as detailed in the Operation and Maintenance Instruction Manual.

Drive the machine far from pits, trenches, rocky hanging walls, areas with overhead electric lines, and slopes before stopping it at the end of the working day.

Move all controls to the position specified for machine stopping.

Never park on an incline without accurately blocking the machine to prevent unexpected movement.

Follow stopping instructions contained in the Operator's manual.

MAINTENANCE Carefully read the Operator's manual before starting, operating, maintaining, fuelling or servicing the machine in any manner.

Loads handling ATTENTION: the machine has been specifically designed to perform digging/loading works. The handling of suspended loads is allowed providing that the machine is equipped with the appropriate variant supplied upon request.

Handle suspended loads, following strictly all current regulations regarding this matter, as well as the rules described in the SAFETY INFORMATION chapter.

ATTENTION: the anti-drop valves located on the cylinders, the over load alarm switch, the liftable loads chart located in the cab and the hook on the bucket linkage rod are SAFETY DEVICES, making part of the suspended load handling variant. The lack of one of them or a damaged item make the machine unfit for works handling suspended loads.

ATTENTION: prior to starting any handling of suspended loads check that the valves do not show clear evidence of damages or abnormal noises. In the event abnormal conditions are found, it is necessary to contact a Dealer. In the meantime, do not use the machine for the handling of suspended loads. Check that the lifting devices (hooks, chains etc.) are in perfect conditions without any sign of excessive wear. In any case, comply with current regulations in effect for these devices (non supplied with the machine). The device can be used exclusively for the lifting of parts not anchored to the ground. Never use it for towing operations, uprooting or tearing apart.

ATTENTION: suspended load can swing and rotate in all directions, thus there is the dangerous possibility that they can hit persons or the cab of the machine. In order to limit this danger, it is absolutely required that all bystanders are moved away from the field of action of the machine and that the load is handled slowly. In the event the load rotates or swings during the handling, slow down until stopped and lower it slowly to the ground; then correct the way it is slung.

ATTENTION: in the event the warning sound alarm is activated during the handling of the load, place the load onto the ground and check the load conditions making reference to the chart located inside the cab.

Liftable loads chart The liftable loads chart (3) is located inside the cab, on the right window.

9 - ACCESSORIES

To handle suspended loads proceed as described below: •

Evaluate (if not known) the mass of the object to be handled and compare it with the data listed in the liftable loads chart located in the cab. Do not lift loads exceeding the maximum values prescribed by the table.

•

Prior to performing lifting operations, press the over load alarm switch (1) to activate the load momentum sensor. This sensor, once the safety limit is reached, activates the sound warning device.

•

Set an engine speed appropriate for the hydraulic load required.

•

Extend the bucket cylinder to end stroke.

•

Secure the load with the hook (2) located on the bucket linkage rod, using slinging devices and chains adequate for the load to be lifted. In order to limit the swinging of the load, avoid slinging it with cables and/or chains too long.

•

Check the surrounding working area and make sure that the path to be travelled with the load is free from obstacles.

•

Lift slowly the load, avoiding sharp movements which could cause swinging of the load. Keep the load near the machine, to improve the stability and operate, preferably, along its longitudinal axis, rather than crossways. Lift the load from the ground the minimum height required.

•

Position and place the load where desired, making sure that it is resting on a solid base appropriate for its mass.

•

Remove the chains.
