Working With Front End Loader; Fixation Points For Front- End Loader - Shibaura ST450 Operator's Manual

WORKING WITH A FRONT- END LOADER
Do not use the front – end loader, without taking
precautions against falling objects. The ROPS
(Roll-over Protective Structure) will NOT provide
protection against falling objects.
Please consider following precautions when
working with a front end loader:
• Install a FOPS (Falling Objective Protection
System) structure. Contact your SHIBAURA
dealer to check whether FOPS certified KIT
exists.
• Do not lift the front – end loader to a height from
which objects may fall or roll on the driver.
• Always use the correct attachment (grab forks,
buckets etc.) for the specific task to ensure that
the load is securely kept in place.
• Only install a front – end loader with a parallel
guidance system and use it all the time; this
system will ensure that the load in the bucket will
remain horizontal, regardless of the height of the
lifting booms.
• Do not allow bystanders in the maneuvering
zone of the tractor equipped with a front—end
loader. Do not allow bystanders to stand near or
under the lifted bucket of a front – end loader
• Do not use the front – end loader as a lift for
persons for activities that must be done at a
certain height. (e.g. cleaning gutters)
• Do not use the front – end loader in an area with
overhead power lines. In case of contact with
overhead power lines, jump from the tractor
without making instant contact between tractor
and ground. When possible, disconnect the
power lines from the grounds
