WARNING
Risk of loss of control of loader -
Too much counterweight can
make
the front of the loader too
light.
If you install too much
counterweights to the loader, th
e
front wheels of the loader will be
easily lifted from the ground. This
will make steering of the loader
difficult. If counterweights are fitted
to handle a certain
attachment,
remove counterweights if driving
without an attachment.
CAUTION
Risk of sudden loss of stability -
Always install any
counterweight firmly.
Counterweight can fall from the
loader on uneven ground or after
hitting a wall or other structur
e.
Tighten all fastening screws. After
installing the 180 kg side weight
kit, remove their
lifting slings from
the weights to prevent their use as
tie down points.
Adding or removing counterweights
When installing or removing counterweights
appropriate lifting equipment must be used.
To install or remove side counterweights (180 kg
kit, A49063):
1. Install a lifting eyelet on the threaded hole on
top of the counterweight. See picture below.
