WARNING
Crushing hazard!
During load handling operations, it is very important to adhere strictly to the instructions given in this
manual and local legislation.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Improper operation or service of this machine can result in an accident.
When lifting a load the machine must be equipped with:
- safety valves,
- an overload indicator,
- a load fixing point,
- a load handling chart corresponding to the type of machine and to its attachment.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE: the machine has been specifically designed to perform digging/loading works. To handle suspended loads
the machine shall be equipped with the appropriate optional provision including safety valves, load handling eye, load
lifting table and overload warning alarm. Make sure to handle suspended loads following strictly all current Regula-
tions regarding this application, as well as the rules described in the SAFETY INFORMATION chapter.
NOTICE: Make provision for lifting devices that comply with current Regulations for lifting applications. Make sure
that the lifting devices (hooks, chains etc.) are in perfect conditions without any sign of excessive wear. Make sure
to use selflocking hooks in order to avoid unintended opening during lift operation. The lifting devices can be used
exclusively for the lifting of parts not anchored to the ground. Never use them for towing operations, uprooting or
tearing apart.
NOTICE: a suspended load can swing freely, and it can thus hit persons or the cab of the machine. Make sure that
all bystanders are moved away from the field of action of the machine, and make sure to handle the load slowly. If
the load starts to swing during the handling, lower it slowly to the ground and sling it in a way that avoid unintended
swinging as much as possible.
