Bumpers – option (PRONAR 6170) Optionally, the loader can be equipped with front bumpers (depending on the tractor model) to protect the front part of the tractor bonnet, especially useful when loading trailers. The bumpers are attached with the bolts on the right and left side of the front axle bracket (FIGURE 4.24)
PRONAR LC5 CHAPTER 4 4.6 TRANSPORT PASSAGE • The maximum transport speed of 15 km/h (i.e. unladen speed) should not be exceeded. Adjust speed driving to road conditions. • During transport runs, the loader boom should be set so that it does not obstruct the visibility from the operator's position.
PRONAR LC5 CHAPTER 5 5.1 SERVICE INTERLOCKS The service interlocks (FIGURE 5.1) are used to lock the boom in the raised position. Service interlocks should be used during the service, maintenance or repair of the loader. Service interlocks can only be used if the loader boom is suspended on the carrying frame.
CHAPTER 5 PRONAR LC5 DANGER It is forbidden to perform service and repair work under a loaded or raised and unsecured boom. 5.2 QUICK COUPLER LOCKS ADJUSTMENT DANGER Before starting work with the loader, the locks of the quick couplers should be checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
PRONAR LC5 CHAPTER 5 Unscrew the screw (3) until the disk springs (4) visible from the top of the hook (5) between the plates (6) are completely tightened. Check whether it is possible, after unlocking the lever (1), to lock it again. If not, screw in the screw (3) by ½ turn. Repeat the blocking attempt. If it is possible to lock the lever (1) and the springs are tightened, disconnect the boom from the supporting structure and tighten the lock nut (2) against the wedge (7).

CHAPTER 5 PRONAR LC5 clothing should be removed to prevent oil from getting on your skin. If the oil gets into your eyes, flush them with plenty of water and in case of irritation contact your doctor. Hydraulic oil under normal conditions is not harmful to the respiratory tract. The hazard only occurs when the oil is strongly atomized (oil mist), or in the event of a fire during which toxic compounds may be released.
PRONAR LC5 CHAPTER 5 The hydraulic system is vented automatically while the machine is in operation. CAUTION If it is necessary to replace individual parts, use only original parts or those indicated by the Manufacturer. Non-adherence to these requirements may put the user and other people's health and life at risk, and also damage the equipment.
Page 75
CHAPTER 5 PRONAR LC5 When using the machine, the user is obliged to follow the lubrication instructions in accordance with the prescribed schedule. The excess of lubricant will cause the deposition of additional contaminants on the places requiring lubrication, therefore it is necessary to keep the individual machine elements clean.
Page 76
PRONAR LC5 CHAPTER 5 DANGER Lubrication may only be performed when the loader is lowered and the attachment is resting on the ground. Before lubricating, turn off the engine, remove the key from the ignition switch and engage the tractor parking brake.
CHAPTER 5 PRONAR LC5 5.5 STORAGE After finishing work, the loader should be carefully cleaned and washed with a stream of water. During washing, do not direct a strong stream at information and warning decals, hydraulic cylinders, and electrical equipment.
