5.4 Adjusting the front loader locking mechanism
⚠ CAUTION
Possible injuries and material damage caused by incorrectly adjusted front loader locking
mechanism!
Improper adjustment of the front loader locking mechanism can cause movement of the front loader in
the mountings and damage them. This can cause the front loader to fall down and injure persons in the
surrounding or cause material damage.
Always check the front loader locking mechanism when mounting and dismounting.
Check the front loader locking mechanism regularly and readjust if necessary.
On new front loaders, re-tighten the locking mechanism after the first hours of operation in order to
compensate for any loosening caused by smoothing of the surfaces.
