KUBOTA Overload warning function

An overload warning function informs the operator immediately if there is an overload. The warning system is con-
trolled by the pressure switch at the pipe safety valve. The load is measured by the pressure at the base of the
cylinder. Any overpressure triggers the warning device.
The warning device is activated with the warning device rocker
switch (1). In the event of an overload, an acoustic signal sounds
and the warning light (2) flashes.
Excavators that will be used in the lifting operation, must be
equipped with at least a pipe safety valve on the boom and arm, to-
gether with an overload warning function according to EN 474-5.
An additional pipe safety valve in accordance with EN 474-1 must
be installed before using the dozer for lifting operation support.
To equip the excavator for the lifting operation, contact your
KUBOTA specialist dealer.
When changing from rubber crawlers to steel crawlers, or from steel
crawlers to rubber crawlers, or when modyfing the length of the arm,
please contact your KUBOTA dealer.
The overload warning function must be enabled during any lifting operation to prevent personal inju-
STOP
ries and damage to equipment.

against objects falling down or being thrown up.
