15 B58FC1 0000000094 EN 002
SAFETY
Dangers when operating the front loader
There is a risk of serious injury or lethal danger due to tipping of the tractor when working
on slopes, when going around bends, when the load on the rear axle is too low, and when
driving into the bulk to be lifted at a skewed angle.
The risk increases when the front loaders are raised up high because of the higher centre
of gravity.
Drive carefully when working on slopes. Never travel with a raised load across a
slope.
Ensure that the ground is level enough.
When driving in curves, reduce the speed and lower the load.
Never start driving abruptly with the front loader raised high and fully loaded.
Observe and comply with the maximum load of the tractor.
Always use sufficient counterweights at the rear of the tractor.
In case of instability or tipping, lower the front loader and remain in the driver's cab.
Drive towards the load in a straight line and do not steer while driving into the load.
Use the safety belts.
Connect the brake pedals.
Switch off the front axle suspension.
On tractors with adjustable track width: set the maximum possible track width.
When driving on roads, there is a risk of serious injury and lethal danger for the operator
as well as for other road users if the tractor and the front loader are not correctly prepared
and operated for road traffic.
Only drive on roads without a load.
Before driving on roads, switch off the hydraulic system and lock it.
Raise the front loader.

SAFETY
Dangers due to falling loads
Dangers during maintenance
There is mortal danger due to raised loads falling down on the driver's seat. There is a
particularly high risk when lifting pallets or bales above the driver's cab and when working
on slopes. Even the standard protection systems (roll-over protection structure ROPS,
falling objects protective structures FOPS) do not provide fully adequate protection.
When working on slopes, reduce the implement filling and lower the load.
Check the inclination of the implement. Do not scoop too far with the implement.
Use implements that are designed such that they prevent loads from falling onto the
driver's seat.
Only use the appropriate implements when loading piece goods (e.g. bale grabber
for bales or pallet fork for pallets).
Lift pallets or bales one at a time. Never stack several loads on top of each other,
since the top load could fall down on the driver's seat.
Compensate for the increased angle on front loaders without parallel motion when
lifting by “dumping” with the implement.
Do not operate the front loader without parallel motion while driving in reverse.
On tractors without a cab or 4-post roll-over protection structure, do not lift large
load items, in particular bales, any higher than the pivot point of the lifting arm.
Watch the load as you are lifting. Do not lift the load when reversing.
Maintenance work carried out incorrectly (care and cleaning, service, repairs) impair the
safety of the front loader.
Check the front loader regularly for defects.
Check mounting parts (brackets) regularly for damage (cracks).
Care and cleaning work must be carried out correctly.
Only have repair work performed by authorised qualified personnel.
