3. 7 LIFTING
The loader is equipped with features to use in lifting (for
example by crane onto a flatbed trailer or a flat car), for
securing, and for extraction (from mud or snow). To
facilitate this requires the optional lifting lugs.
To lift using a crane, first follow the shut - off procedure in
section 3.1-3.
Once this is done, attach properly rated cables, chains or
straps to lift points provided (See Fig. 3.7). To prevent
marking the operator guard or chafing of the lifting cable,
a lifting frame should be used.
3. 8 TOWING
1. When winching or towing a stuck loader from the rear,
always lower the lift arms until the attachment is
resting on the ground and then follow the shut - off
procedure (See Section 3.1-3).
2. When winching or towing a stuck loader from the
front, lower the attachment so that the front attachment
points are accessible and have an assistant block the
attachment, then follow the shut-off procedure (See
Section 3.1-3).
3. Attach a properly rated chain, cable or towing strap to
the towing point provided (Fig. 3.8A).
4. Deactivate the brake system for towing. To release the
park brake, turn the release button on the brake valve
counter clockwise. Pressurize the brake release quick
coupler to 200 PSI (15 Bar). This will release the
motor brakes for towing. See maintenance section for
details.
5. Open the tandum pump by-pass valve which are
integral with the high pressure relief valves by turning
four (4) revolutions. There are four of the high
pressure relief valves. Two (2) on the top of the pump
(fig. 3.8B), and two (2) on the bottom. Do not open the
valves past four (4) turns. When open, the valve
connects both sides of the pump/motor circuit and
allows the motor to turn for towing short distances at
low speeds without running the engine. The valve
closing torque is 30 - 70 ft. lbs. (41 - 95 Nm.).
*Damage to the unit may result from over-torquing the
bypass valve.
6. The attachment point on the towing or winching
equipment should be kept as low as possible and in as
direct a line as possible with the stuck loader. A steep
tow line angle or side pull could result in upsetting the
stuck loader.
