1. Introduction
1.1 About these instructions
These instructions provide all information required to work with the Knikmops
wheel loader and corresponding attachments – pallet fork, volume buckets, shovel
buckets, and rubble buckets.
The Knikmops wheel loader is referred to as the "machine" in these instructions.
The volume buckets, shovel buckets, and rubble buckets are referred to as the
"buckets" in these instructions. The attachments known as "pallet fork" and
"buckets" are jointly referred to as "attachments" in these instructions.
The instructions apply to the following types of machine: KM80, KM85, KM90,
KM100, KM120, KM125, KM130, KM170, including both the H and TE versions
(telescopic arm).
The "pallet fork" and "buckets" must be coupled to the Knikmops, articulated
loader, wheel loader, telescopic handler, excavator, or a similar machine. The
term "machine" is used in these instructions as a reference term, even if an
intermediate attachment is used.
These instructions were originally compiled in Dutch. All other language versions
are translations of the original. In the event of doubt about the accuracy of a
translation, the Dutch version takes precedence.
It is not always possible to provide a detailed illustration of each separate part of
the machine. The illustrations in this document may, therefore, show a standard
structure. The illustrations are solely for instruction purposes.
