ATTENTION: TO IMPROVE LONGITUDINAL STABILITY AND REDUCE LOAD ON
FRONT AXLE, THE TRACTOR COUPLED WITH THE LOADER CAN BE EQUIPPED WITH
REAR MOUNTED BALLAST WEIGHTS!
LOADER OPERATION ON THE SLOPE WITH MORE THAN 8° INCLINE IS FORBID-
DEN.
Tractor service brake control pedals shall be always interlocked during loader oper-
ation.
Avoid abrupt start, braking, sharp turns and long-term frictional slip of tyres during
tractor operation with the loader.
When driving the tractor with the loader on public roads, it is required to observe
traffic regulations.
Before starting the movement on public roads, it is required to raise the loader into
transport position and fix it properly.
There is hazard of spontaneous lowering of the loader. That is why before leaving
the cab, it is required to lower the loader in the bottom position and fix the hydraulic control
mechanism levers of the loader properly.
It is required to carry out mounting and dismounting of the loader only on a level
ground with hard surface.
If the housing of the tractor with loader is under voltage, the operator shall lower the
operating part in the lowermost position, stop the engine, switch the accumulator battery
off and leave the cab urgently without touching the loader housing metal parts.
Before starting loading-unloading operations, an operator shall carry out preparatory
inspection of the working place, and study the rules and methods of operation depending
on specific conditions.
It is forbidden to let third persons drive the tractor with loader.
Before starting the movement or engaging reverse gear, it is necessary to sound a
horn and make sure there are no people in the area of loader operation.
Exercise caution when moving on the territory of an enterprise (the maximum speed
shall be determined by the enterprise standards).
When driving the tractor with loader, it is required to watch over for upper obstacles
(wires, pipelines, arches etc.).
When filling the loader bucket, avoid striking against obstacles hidden under the
load.
Intake of bulk materials shall be carried out by slow cutting in a stock pile and simul-
taneous turning of the loader bucket.
An operator is not allowed to start operation on load handling in the following cases:
- the load weight is unknown;
- poor light in the operation area, poor visibility of the loads to be moved;
- the territory of the working area on which the loader operates, does not have
proper solid and smooth surface (asphalt, concrete, paving blocks etc.), or the ground is
not cleaned from snow and ice and is not sanded or covered with special agent in winter;
- slope of the working area, on which the loader is intended to operate, exceeds 8°.
Stop the loader operation in the following cases:
- tyre puncture or insufficient tyre pressure;
- failure in steering, hydraulic or braking systems is detected;
- there are extraneous noises and slap noises in the engine, chassis or loader oper-
ating parts.
