SAFETY
Dangers due to falling loads
Dangers during maintenance
There is mortal danger due to raised loads falling down on the driver's seat. There is a
particularly high risk when lifting pallets or bales above the driver's cab and when working
on slopes. Even the standard protection systems (roll-over protection structure ROPS,
falling objects protective structures FOPS) do not provide fully adequate protection.
When working on slopes, reduce the implement filling and lower the load.
Check the inclination of the implement. Do not scoop too far with the implement.
Use implements that are designed such that they prevent loads from falling onto the
driver's seat.
Only use the appropriate implements when loading piece goods (e.g. bale grabber
for bales or pallet fork for pallets).
Lift pallets or bales one at a time. Never stack several loads on top of each other,
since the top load could fall down on the driver's seat.
Compensate for the increased angle on front loaders without parallel motion when
lifting by “dumping” with the implement.
Do not operate the front loader without parallel motion while driving in reverse.
On tractors without a cab or 4-post roll-over protection structure, do not lift large
load items, in particular bales, any higher than the pivot point of the lifting arm.
Watch the load as you are lifting. Do not lift the load when reversing.
Maintenance work carried out incorrectly (care and cleaning, service, repairs) impair the
safety of the front loader.
Check the front loader regularly for defects.
Check mounting parts (brackets) regularly for damage (cracks).
Care and cleaning work must be carried out correctly.
Only have repair work performed by authorised qualified personnel.
