HOW TO VERIFY THAT THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE WORKS
CORRECTLY
Proceed as follows to verify that the anti-tip device works correctly:
•
Select a load for which the correct weight (kg) is known.
•
Position the machine level and align the wheels
•
Insert the forks under the load in such a way that the
centre of gravity is at a distance D (seen on the load
diagram) with respect to the edge of the fork.
•
Lift the load to a height of 500 mm from the ground.
•
Extend the boom until the anti-tip device intervenes
•
Take note of the length of the extended boom (reading
the last letter "X" shown on the side of the boom)
•
Make sure the letter noted corresponds to the limit
indicated on the load diagram available in the cabin.
The tolerance is +-150 mm in relation to the indications provided in the diagram.

TOWING THE MACHINE
The hydrostatic transmission of the machine and the traction of all four wheels are
constantly engaged. Furthermore, when the Diesel engine is off, the brakes are engaged.
It is not possible to tow the machine with the engine off without damaging the transmission components,
unless it is moved slightly from a dangerous or obstructing area.
If it is required to tow the machine to remove it from a hazardous area and the Diesel engine cannot be
kept in motion, a pressure accumulator ensures the pressure required to release the parking brakes a
maximum of three times. This way, even if the Diesel engine breaks down, with the ignition key in position
1, it is possible to release the parking brakes to move the machine.
If this system does not work, it is also possible to mechanically release the parking brakes (see next
paragraph).
Once the parking brakes have been released, the machine can be towed for short distances and at low
speed (maximum 300 meters at a speed of 0.4 m/s – walking speed), (see paragraph – TOWING FOR SHORT
DISTANCES -)
If the machine must be towed for a long distance, in addition to releasing the parking brakes, mechanically
disconnect the hydrostatic transmission in order to avoid damage to the components (see paragraph –
TOWING FOR LONG DISTANCES).
