➥
Release the load only after you have engaged the starter and waited 2 seconds
(otherwise if actuated too early, the characteristic curve is shifted and the load is not
released)!
☞
Release the pressure on the auxiliary hydraulics by pressing the rocker switch con-
nected with the left or right proportional joystick to the left and right
➥
The pressure in the system sections that have been actuated is released. This can
be seen by the brief movement the hoses make as the pressure is actually released.
Uncouple the attachment immediately after the pressure has been released, otherwise
pressure can be created again!
Re-equipping the attachments is described below for a bucket. If you are fitting or remov-
ing attachments with their own hydraulic functions – for example grab or offset bucket –
you must follow the special information given in the Operator's Manual of the attachment.
Also refer to the Operator's Manual of the attachment for the procedure to follow for fitting
an attachment onto a quickhitch.
• Driving in pins with a hammer can cause them to splinter, which can cause serious injury.
☞
Always wear safety glasses, helmets, gloves and other protective equipment.
• Do not stand behind the bucket when removing pins.
☞
Do not place your foot underneath the bucket.
• Pay special attention to your fingers when removing and reinserting pins.
• Never insert fingers in the bores of the pins as you align them.
