500 Series Safety 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.
