1.2 Proper use
The loading machine MHL380 D is intended
solely for work which is suited to the function
of the machine and its work attachment. Such
work involves:
 loading
 moving
 shifting
of materials such as scrap, scrap metal and
chips, as well as various types of recycling
material.
The appropriate work attachments for these
purposes are:
 clamshell and cactus grabs
 magnets
 load hooks
 sorting grabs
 hydraulic shears
The manufacturer's specifications outlined in
these operating instructions must be complied
with.
Given their experience in and knowledge of
working with the respective handling goods,
operators and machine operators should
check whether the loading machine is suitable
for the task in hand. The dealer responsible
should be contacted if in doubt.
Before using the machine for timber rehan-
dling, consult the manufacturer.
When mounting work attachments (provided
by outside suppliers), the proper use of such
attachments as stated by their manufacturers
must be observed.
Compliance with the operating instructions,
the performance of maintenance work as
specified and adherence to maintenance in-
tervals are all aspects of proper use.
The operating temperature at which the machine
may be used with standard fuels, lubricants and
coolants is within the range from -15 °C to
+45 °C.
On operating sites with lower temperatures we
recommend engine oil preheating and hydraulic
fluid preheating.This makes the machine ready
for use within a shorter space of time and thus
prolongs its service life.
Information concerning fuels, lubricants, and
coolants for temperatures below -15°C:
