Transport instructions and tie down points
Before transporting or lifting mount the articulation
frame lock, see page 72. Lower the boom down
and disconnect battery.
Always lock the frame lock before transporting or
lifting the loader. Also remember to remove the
frame lock and test the steering of the loader after
transport.
Tie down points
The loader must be tied down securely if transporting
on a trailer. All four tie down points must be used. If
an attachment is fitted, also t must be tied down.
As standard, there are 4 tie down points:
Two on the front frame, close to the boom
Two on the rear frame, near rear counterweight
To prepare the loader for transport, do the
following:
Always secure the load. Make sure all equipment
is secured also before just a short transport.
Always use straps or chains that are in good
condition and rated for use as load securing
device. Check all hooks and locks.
Consider weight distribution on a trailer.
Sometimes it might be appropriate to load the
loader on trailer rear end first.
Always make sure the trailer is balanced when
loaded in sideways and front/rear directions.
Trailer must never cause upward force on the
trailer coupling of the towing vehicle.
Lock the articulated frame lock.
Lower boom completely down.
It may be necessary to tie down attachments
separately.
Make sure all panels are locked in place.
Remove ignition key and any loose material that
could come off while transport.
Risk of moving or falling of the
loader - Never lift or tie down
loader from side
counterweights. Eyelets on extra
side counterweights are for
installing or removing the side
counterweight only. Never attempt
to lift the loader from the
counterweights or use them as
tie-down points.
