Load Suspension Device - Kubota KX027 Operating Instructions Manual

Lifting capacity of the excavator

Load suspension device

A load suspension device with all the characteristics listed below is required:
The system must withstand a load two-and-a-half times its rated lifting load, regardless 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 that 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). Lift-
STOP
ing loads over the maximum permissible lifting capacity is not allowed.
The values indicated in the tables only apply 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 crawler
STOP
or the dozer can dig into the ground.
The values indicated in the tables only apply for loads without a 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
STOP
(e.g. grapple kit, quick coupler, etc.) must be subtracted from the lifting capacity.
During lifting operations, the boom may not be swivelled 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 steering movements,

make sure the load does not swing.
