500 SeriesSafety instructions
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.
