7 LOWERING LOADER ARMS
WARNING
Personal injury or equipment damage hazards.
In the event the engine stops and can not be re-
started with the loader lift arms elevated:
• Lower the loader lift arms and attachment until
they rest on the ground or work surface.
The same procedure shall be used if the hydrostatic
propulsion system stops responding.
In the event of a working hydraulic system failure:
•
Lower the loader lift arms and attachment as
quickly and safely as possible.
If a hydraulic hose fails:
• Avoid contact with the oil stream. Working hy-
draulic oil can exceed 93°C (200°F) causing
severe burns. High pressure oil streams can
penetrate the skin ca
• using serious injury.
•
Relieve working circuit pressure by activating
the control through the full stroke range several
times.
Loaders equipped with a load holding control device
in compliance with ISO8643 will stop the loader lift
arms from falling more than 15cm (6”) before stop-
ping if a hose or hydraulic line suffers a rupture and
rapid leak. Refer to Section 8 »Relieving residual
pressure in the hydraulic system« on page 126.
