Important information about the ball hitch
Accident hazard if the load on the front axle is too low!
Can cause serious injury or death.
► Install and safely lock attachments (for example buckets) on the loader
unit that are certified for public roads.
► Cover the blade or teeth of the bucket across their entire width with the
protection provided.
Accident hazard due to a damaged trailer coupling!
Can cause injury.
► Check the ball hitch for damage before using it.
► Ensure a minimum diameter of 49.0 mm (1.93 in) at any point of the
ball.
► Have a damaged or malfunctioning ball hitch immediately repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center.
Before performing downhill machine travel, select the “Turtle” speed range
and use the service brake to support the braking effect of the drive. This
avoids damage to the drive and/or the diesel engine due to excessive
speed! This applies to trailer operation in particular!
► Reduce the speed to less than 15 kph (9.32 mph) with the service
brake.
► Select 1st speed “Turtle”.
► Support the drive’s braking effect with the brake/inching pedal by
pressing it down with force beyond the inching range (intermittent
braking).
When equipped with a high speed gearbox (option), the wheel loader
reaches maximum speed only on a level asphalted surface without a
trailer and under normal load (attachment)!
