Safety instructions
General safety instructions - Always follow all instructions to avoid personal injury

6
755i/760iSafety instructions
Falling of load or unexpected
lowering of loader boom - Risk of
crushing. Always remember that the
boom may lower unexpectedly due to
loss of stability, mechanical fault, or if
another person operates the controls
of the loader, leading to crushing
hazard. The attachment or the loader
are not intended to be left to keep
a load elevated for longer periods.
Lower the attachment before leaving
the driver’s seat. The stability of the
loader may change when leaving the
driver’s seat, leading to tipping over
of the machine.
Falling of persons - Risk of
crushing. Never use the loader or
its attachments to lift persons or
as any kind of work platform even
temporarily. Never climb on the
loader or on the attachment. Seating
capacity: one person only, regardless
of attachment.
Risk of falling objects - Make sure
load is securely on the attachment.
Never tilt the attachment back when
it is lifted high. Operate only with
machines equipped with ROPS and
FOPS structures. Make sure the
attachment is properly locked.
Hydraulic pressure - Risk of
injury. Escaping hydraulic uid
under pressure has sufcient force
to penetrate skin, causing serious
personal injury. Never use hands to
search for possible leaks in hydraulic
systems - use a piece of cardboard
instead. Release residual hydraulic
pressure before disconnecting
any tting and before any service
operation. See a doctor immediately
if hydraulic uid penetrates skin,
serious injury can result quickly,.
Pinch point.
Turning articulated frame may cause
contact with body. Do not grasp
steering wheel when entering or
leaving loader.
Handling of heavy loads
Handle loader with care - Risk of
tipping over.
• Follow all instructions and warning
labels to avoid tipping over of the
loader.
• Always put the load down on
the ground before you leave the
driver’s seat.
• Keep loads as low and as close to
the loader as possible.
• When loading, always keep
the loader frame as straight as
possible.
• Never take a heavy load on the
loader from high level – e.g. from
truck, shelf etc.
• Always handle heavy loads only on rm, level ground,
while you drive slowly with the machine.
- Uneven or inclined terrain signicantly reduces the
safe working load, (see also page 23.)
-Use the maximum loads indicated in the diagram in
this manual as a guideline.
-All rated operating capacities are based on the
criteria of the machine is level on a rm supporting
ground. When the machine is operated in conditions
that deviate from these criteria (e.g. on soft or uneven
ground, on a slope or when subject to slide loads),
you must take these conditions into account.
-Remember that the actual load carrying capacity
varies greatly according to operating conditions and
control manner.
-Be especially careful when the load sensor indicator
is activated. See page 23 for more information about
the load sensor.
•Keep the articulated frame of the loader in straight position
when you lift heavy loads. If you turn the loader during
load handling, the stability of the loader will decrease and
it may overturn the machine.
•The use of extra rear weights or ballasted tires is
recommended. See page 34 for different options.
•Make sure to follow the recommended tire pressures.
•Pay attention that a heavy load or long distance between
the loader and the center of gravity of the load will affect
the balance and handling of the loader.
•When you estimate the lifting capacity of the loader,
remember to take the weight of the attachment into
account.

7
755i/760i Safety instructions
Load sensor system:
The loader is equipped with a load sensor system. It gives
an audible warning signal and at the same time an indicator
lamp lights up in the dashboard when there is a risk that
the loader tips over its front axle.When the system gives
a warning signal, the load that is being lifted may be too
heavy in relation with the lift capacity of the loader.
If the warning is triggered by the
load sensor:
• Lower the load slowly on the
ground.
• Retract the telescopic boom.
Never extend thetelescopic boom
any further when the warning
istriggered.
• Avoid abrupt movements. Sudden
movements ofthe boom, or abrupt
starting, stopping, or turning of the
loader, can decrease the stability
of the loader, causing tipping over.
• Reduce load, or add sufcient
amount ofcounterweights to the
loader to complete thetask.
• Keep in mind that the load sensor
warns onlyabout the possiblity of
tipping forward on levelground.
Whenever you handle heavy loads or heavy attachments:
Overload - Risk of overturning.
The high lift capacity of the loader
makes it possible to exceed the
stability of the loader when handling
loads. Read the instructions regarding
maximum lift capacity and load
handling in this Operator’s Manual.
Following the instructions reduces
the risk of tipping the machine over
its front axle, but the operator must be
aware of the limits of the machine and
follow safe working practises to avoid
overturning of the machine.
Articulated frame - Risk of
overturning. Turning articulated
frame can lead to overturning of
the loader on inclined terrain or
when driving at high speed. Never
turn frame towards the slope while
operating on inclined ground. Always
drive slowly when carrying load or
when turning with the machine.
Sudden movements can tip
the machine over - Risk of
overturning.
Movements, such as stopping,
turning, or lowering the boom
abruptly, can cause loss of stability.
Always drive slowly and operate the
controls of the loader very carefully,
especially when handling heavy
loads.
In case the loader tips over :
Avoid tipping over of the loader with careful operation and
the instructions given throughout this manual. However, it
is important to know what to do in case the machine tips
over.
Risk of being crushed by the ROPS
structure in case the laoder tips
over - Always use the seat belt and
stay within the space protected by
the ROPS safety frame.
Always keep seatbelt on to stay on
driver’s seat and to avoid getting
crushed between ground and a loader
that tips over.
In case the loader tips over.
Switch off the engine of the loader
immediately. Running the engine
and pumps of an overturned loader
will damage them quickly and will
spill hydraulic oil and fuel. As soon
as possible, lift the loader back on
its wheels to prevent spilling of fuel
and oils. The loader can in many
cases be lifted back on its wheels
by having a few persons to lift it
from the ROPS frame. Engine oil
can leak inside the engine, causing
major engine damage if the engine
is attempted to be restarted after
the loader has been overturned.
Contact service before you attempt
to restart the engine.

755i/760i
Operation on gradients
Load, unload, and turn on at level ground only. Drive slowly
on uneven terrains. Do not drive on too steep a gradient -
watch out for ditches, manholes and steep gradients.
Do not park the machine on a surface with a gradient.
Should this be necessary, engage the parking brake and
preferably turn the machine sideways and put down the
load. If needed, use chocks behind the wheels.
Use low speed range when driving on hills or uneven
terrain.
Risk of tipping over - Always
keep loads close to the
ground. The stability and the
load handling capacity of the
loader are signicantly reduced
on inclined terrains and Maximum
lifting capacity can be achieved
only on rm, level ground. On
horizontally tilted terrain the load
must be kept close to the ground
and must never be lifted high.
Suffocation hazard - Ensure ventilation
Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide (CO), a poison gas you
cannot see or smell. Using a loader in
enclosed space or poorly ventilated
areas will kill you in minutes.
Never operate the loader indoors or in partly enclosed
areas unless you’ve made sure there is special ventilation
system installed. Loaders with a combustion engine produce,
among other pollutants, carbon dioxide (CO2) and can also
emit carbon monoxide (CO) under some conditions that can
concentrate quickly to a dangerous level. Never leave the
engine running in garages or sheds. Operate the loader
only outdoors and far from windows, doors, and vents.
Elevated level of carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide
in breathing air can not be noticed without dedicated
measuring equipment. Signs of carbon monoxide poisoning
include nausea, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and lack
of consciousness.
Get fresh air if anyone shows signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning and see a doctor.
Diesel exhaust also contains chemicals that are harmful and
prolonged exposure should be avoided. Ventilate indoor
spaces well e.g. after starting a loader. The odor of diesel
exhaust does not tell if there are dangerous levels of carbon
dioxide or carbon monoxide in the breathing air.
California Proposition 65
Warning
Exhaust fumes
The engine exhaust of this product contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
California Proposition 65

Electric system and handling the battery
Always handle the battery with care. Follow the safety
instructions given below. The battery of the 12 V electric
system of the loader is located at the rear of the loader, on
the right side of the engine. See page 56 for more information
about battery and maintenance instructions.
Short-circuit of the battery
can create re or explosion.
Disconnect the battery with
the battery disconnect switch
before working on the engine or
equipment. Never lay metal objects
on the battery. Keep the top surface
of the battery clean.
Battery acid can cause severe skin
burns. Handle damaged battery with
extreme care and wear appropriate
safety gloves and clothing. Battery is
a sealed type battery, meaning that you
should never attempt to open the battery.
Lead acid batteries produce
ammable and explosive gases
during charging. Make sure that
ventilation is sufcient when
charging the battery. Keep arcs,
sparks, ames, and lighted tobacco
away from battery. Never charge a
frozen battery. A frozen battery can
explode during charging.
Battery and its terminals contain
lead, a harmful substance which
should not be handled more than
what is necessary. Wash hands
with soap and water after handling
the battery.
Whenever you handle the battery, keep the following in mind:
• Battery contains corrosive sulphuric acid which causes
serious burns upon skin contact. Avoid contact with skin or
clothes. If electrolyte gets on your skin or clothes, ush with
a lot of water. In case of contact with eyes, ush with a lot of
water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor immediately.
• In order to avoid spark emissions, always disconnect the
negative (-) cable rst and connect it last.
• Before connecting the battery cables make sure that
the polarity is correct: Faulty connection will seriously
damage the electric system of the engine and may cause
sparks, re, or even explosion of the battery.
• If a fuse is blown repeatedly, nd out the cause. Always
use fuses with correct rating.
• Read the instructions for jump start, see page 58
Fire prevention
Clean the loader to avoid build-up of ammable debris,
such as dust, leaves, hay, straw, etc.
• There are many parts of the diesel engine that operate
at high temperatures in normal use. To avoid re, and
to ensure that the cooling is ensured, keep the engine
and engine bay clean. Overheating of the engine can
shorten its service life.
• Do not smoke during refueling or during any inspection
or maintenance work.
• Add fuel and oils only at a well ventilated place.
• Oil and fuel leaks can ignite on hot components. Repair
any damaged or leaking components before using
machine. Refuel and add oil only after the loader is
cooled down.
• The battery produces hydrogen gas during recharge.
This gas can cause re or explosion, if charging of the
battery is not made correctly. Charge battery in a well
ventilated place, and keep sources of ignition away from
battery during recharge. Static electricity can produce
sparks when removing plastic cover, avoid handling or
cleaning of plastic covers when battery is connected to
a charger.
Know where re extinguishing equipment is located near
your working site. At some areas a re extinguisher may
be mandatory. Keep a multi-purpose, approved type re
extinguisher available near the place where you store the
loader.
To prevent the risk of re, always disconnect the battery
with the battery disconnect switch. See page 28 for more

Fuel requirements
Fuel: Ultra low sulfur diesel fuel only (sulfur content less than 15 ppm / 0,0015%).
Use only fuel that complies with any of the following:
- EN 590, DlN 51628 - Military NATO fuel F-54 (S = 10 ppm)
- No 1 Diesel - ASTM D 975-09 B-Grade 1-D S 15
- No 2 Diesel - ASTM D 975-09 B-Grade 2-D S 15
- ARCTIC (EN 590/ASTM D 975-09 B) for ambient temperatures below -10°C (14°F).
Biodiesel with max 10% bio content that complies with the standards above can be used.
Never add petroleum or any additive that does not comply with the above listed standards.
Engine oil requirements
Use only engine oil recommended by the engine manufacturer. The Kohler diesel engine with common rail high pressure
fuel injection requires high quality engine oil in order to work properly. See also Kohler Operators Manual.
Tires
The loader can be equipped with different type of tires for different operating conditions. Grass pattern (GR) tires will
damage the ground surface less than tractor (TR) tires, but provide less traction.
For the best stability and controllability, always use the largest tires possible. Tires that are narrower than the standard
tires are intended for special purposes only with width restriction on the machine. Use only tires and rims that meet
the original specications and dimensions to avoid potential issues with load capacity, tire size, or bearing load on
drive motors. Consult your dealer if further information is needed. Special tires, such as studded wheels may also be
available. Consult your dealer for further information.
