755/760i Safety instructions
Handling of heavy loads and load sensor
The loader is equipped with a load sensor system. It
gives an audible warning signal and at the same time an
indicator lights in the dashboard when there is a risk that
the machine tips over its front axle. When the system gives
a warning signal the load that is being lifted is too heavy in
relation with the lift capacity of the loader. In this case one
has to either put more counterweights on the loader or
relieve the load that is being lifted.
When the load sensor starts to warn, there is
a risk that the machine tips over its front axle.
In this case stop lifting of the boom, retract
the telescopic boom and lower down the
boom slowly. When the load sensor is warning
do not steer the machine before the boom is
lowered down close to ground level. Lift the
boom only when the loader chassis is straight.
Keep the load as close to ground as possible.
Never take a heavy load on the loader from
high level – e.g. from truck, shelf etc. – risk of
tipping over!
Always put the load down on the ground
before leaving the machine. When loading,
always keep the loader chassis as straight as
possible.
Personal safety and protective equipment
Wear safe clothing and personal protective equipment
(PPE). Protect yourself against work hazards like noise,
ejecting debris or dust for example.
• Noise level at driver’s seat can exceed
85 dB(A). Wear hearing protection when
working with the loader.
• It is recommended to wear safety
footwear when working with the loader.
• Wear protective gloves when handling
hydraulic hoses.
• Follow regulations regarding protective
equipment. Wear eye protection and
hard hat or other protective equipment
as needed.
Read Operators Manual of the attachment for more
information about protective equipment needed in the
work.
Safety frame (ROPS) and safety canopy (FOPS)
Safety frame (ROPS) protects the operator
in case the machine tips over. Always fasten
the seat belt in order to stay inside the safety
frame protective area.
The loader is also equipped with a falling
objects protective canopy (FOPS). Never
take off the safety structures, modify them,
or attempt to repair. If damaged, contact
service.
Electric system and handling the battery
Lead acid batteries can produce flammable and explosive
gases. Make sure that the ventilation is sufficient and keep
arcs, sparks, flames and lighted tobacco away from battery.
• Battery contains corrosive sulfuric acid.
• Avoid contact with skin or clothes. If electrolyte
gets on your skin or clothes, flush with a lot of water.
• In case of contact with eyes, flush with a lot of water
for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor immediately.
• Never charge a frozen battery.
• In order to avoid spark emissions always disconnect
the negative (-) cable first and connect it last.
• Before connecting the battery cables make sure
that the polarity is correct: faulty connection will
seriously damage the electric system of the engine.
• Disconnect the battery before working on the engine or
equipment.
• Read the instructions for jump start on page 33.
