2.4. LHV Load Holding Valves (option)
Cylinders can be optionally equipped with Load Holding Valves (LHV) as a safety device. After a
loader movement they hold the loader in position, also in the unlikely event of a burst hose.
If there is a leak or a component fractures, such as a pipe, hose or a coupling, the LHV will stop the
booms from collapsing down, even when the hydraulic system is switched off and you operate a
particular loader function.
To operate a hydraulic cylinder equipped with a LHV, an opening pressure is required.
DANGER
Overloading could result of damage to the loader or in the worst case, personal
injury or death.
Never increase a hanging load, since that may cause a Load Holding Valve to
open and/or the vehicle to turn over.
NOTE
The extra weight of the lifting accessories has to be added to the load. Thus, with
lifting accessories the load you can lift is less heavy.
Load Holding Valves are not mandatory. The installation is based on the
application and regulatory requirements.

3. Safety precautions and warnings
3.1. Operating conditions
You may only use the loader under the following conditions:
• In the open air, or in spaces with sufficient ventilation.
• With a mean wind velocity less than 13.3 m/sec (approx. 29.7 mph).
DANGER
• If you use the loader in a confined space you could suffocate from the exhaust
gases from the vehicle.
•Never use the loader at temperatures below -40° C (-40 °F), as the steel's
properties deteriorate below this temperature.
WARNING
• If the temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) we
recommend you to wait a few minutes
before you operate the levers
• When starting in cold weather, the wear on
the hydraulic system is greater than at
normal working temperatures.
To minimise wear, the loader should be started as follows:
• Engage the power take-off at low rpm.
• Allow the system to idle for a few minutes.
• Fixed pump:
Operate the stabiliser leg up for one minute in order to warm up the oil.
• Variable pump:
Operate stabiliser legs up and down for one minute, in order to warm up the oil.

NOTE
The signs may vary depending on the country. Always make sure that you comply
with the statutory requirements of the country in which you use the loader.
3.4. Maximum load
Lifting capacity
Your loader has a certain lifting capacity, expressed in kNm or tm. This lifting capacity is also
known as the load moment. The lifting capacity is: the payload multiplied by the outreach in metres
that the loader can operate at different positions. The lifting capacity of your loader determines the
maximum load your loader may lift within its working zone. However take careful note; the greater
the operating radius of the loader, the lower the lifting capacity will be because of the weight of the
boom system itself. The load plate and the load diagram on your loader show the maximum loads
you may lift in the operating reach of your loader.
DANGER
Overloading could result of damage to the loader or in the worst case, personal
injury or death.
Never increase a hanging load, since that may cause a Load Holding Valve to
open and/or the vehicle to turn over.
NOTE
The extra weight of the lifting accessories has to be added to the load. Thus, with
lifting accessories the load you can lift is less heavy.
Safety precautions and warnings
HIAB J14S J24S 17

NOTE
Load Holding Valves are not mandatory, the installation is based on the application
and regulatory requirements.
Load plate
On the plate is the maximum weight that you may lift at a
given reach, with the 1st boom in the optimum position. In
chapter Technical Data in this manual you will find these
values for your loader.
DANGER
Never exceed the maximum weight on the load plate.
Load diagram
The load diagram shows the maximum load your loader
may lift in the entire working zone.
The load curves show the maximum load that may be lifted
at a given reach and height. For a given maximum load, the
possible working zone is to the left of the load curve. The
lifting capacity for some loaders is limited in the high lifting
area.
WARNING
Care must be taken when handling loads in the high lifting area, so the load/tool
does not come into contact with the boom system.
