18.1 Raising and lowering the front attachment
Risk of injury from movement of the front attachment!
If people are in the area of the front attachment when it is being raised or lowered and folded in
or out, there is a risk that these people may be caught and injured by the front attachment or
the lifting unit.
• When the front attachment is moving, ensure that there is nobody in the area of the front
attachment or the lifting unit.
Prerequisites:
– The driver's seat is occupied.
– The diesel engine has been started.
– The main mode switch is in the "field mode" position.
– There is adequate space for folding in/out.

To raise the front attachment (3):
• Press and hold down the "Manually raising lifting unit" key (1) on the multi-function lever.
The front attachment (3) is raised as long as the key is pressed.
When the pick-up is attached, the maximum height which can be reached is the upper position
of the lifting unit.
When the front attachment is folded in, the lifting height is limited to 60% of the maximum lifting
height.
To lower the front attachment (3):
• Press and hold down the "Manually lowering lifting unit" key (2) on the multi-function lever.
The front attachment (3) is lowered as long as the key is pressed.
Press the key on the multi-function lever to lower the front attachment slowly. Pressing harder
will cause the front attachment to lower more quickly.
