Load Suspension Device - Kubota U50-5 Operating Instructions Manual

Load suspensions (e.g. hooks) may only be welded on by suitably skilled personnel. For this type of work,

please contact your KUBOTA dealer.
At every point of the implement or the boom, the lifting attachment must withstand a load of two-and-a-half-

times its rated lifting load.

Load suspension device

Assumed is a load suspension device with all the characteristics listed below:
The system must withstand a load two-and-a-half-times its rated lifting load, irrespective of the point at which

that load is applied.
The system must be designed in such a way as to practically prevent any objects that have been lifted from

falling from the lifting attachment, for example by means of a protective attachment designed for this purpose.
The system must not allow the lifting attachment to slip from the attachment being lifted.

Do not lift loads which exceed the values indicated in the lifting capacity tables.
STOP
Always observe the maximum permissible lifting capacity of the hoisting gear (e.g. load hooks). The
STOP
lifting of loads over the maximum permissible lifting capacity is not allowed.
The values given in the tables apply only to level and hard grounds. When working on soft ground,
the machine can tip over easily, as the load is concentrated on one side only and the track or the
STOP
dozer can dig into the ground.
The values given in the tables apply only for loads without bucket. If a bucket is used, the weight of
the bucket must be subtracted from the values in the tables. The weight of mounted accessories (e.g.
STOP
clamp kit, quick release coupling, etc.) must be subtracted from the lifting capacity.
During lifting operations, the boom may not be swung to the left or right. The entire machine could
STOP
tilt! In order to avoid inadvertent actuation, lower the locking flap for the boom swing pedal.
During lifting operations the driving/moving of the crawler chassis is not permitted.
STOP
Use utmost care to avoid any risk of tipping, slipping, or other potential risks implied when lifting loads.
The operator must
pick up the load at the centre,

avoid sudden movements,

make sure the load does not swing.
