Storage, Transport, Tie down points and Lifting
93
To prepare the loader for transport, do the
following:
1.
Always secure the load. Make sure all
equipment is secured also before just a short
transport.
It may be necessary to tie down attachments
separately.
2.
Lower the boom completely down.
3.
Lock the articulated frame lock.
4.
Always use straps or chains that are in good
condition and rated for use as load securing
device. Check all hooks and locks.
5.
Consider weight distribution on a trailer.
Sometimes it might be appropriate to load the
loader on trailer rear end first.
6.
Always make sure the trailer is balanced when
loaded in sideways and front/rear directions.
Trailer must never cause an upward, lifting
force on the trailer coupling of the towing
vehicle.
7.
Make sure that all panels are locked in place.
Remove ignition key and any loose material
that could come off while transport.
8.
Consider using a transport cover to protect the
loader from dirt during transport. See picture
below.
Transport on trailer
If you transport the loader on a trailer make sure that
the center of gravity of the load is forward from the
axle of the trailer. To load the trailer correctly, it may
be necessary to load the loader on the trailer
backwards.
The center of gravity of a loader without an
attachment is located slightly forward from the rear
axle. Take into account the size and weight of the
attachment, and any additional counterweights on
the loader. Always secure the loader and its
attachment onto the trailer.
DANGER
Risk of loss of control of towing
vehicle - Never load trailer so
that there is lifting force on the
tow bar.
Trailer must never be
loaded so that the center of gravity
is behind the axle of the trailer. If
trailer is loaded in this way, the
trailer can cause loss of control of
the towing vehicle.
Load on the trailer coupling of the
towing vehicle must never be
negative. When uncoupling the
trailer coupling the tow bar can
swing up.
Take into account all additional counterweights,
attachments, and other equipment when estimating
the load on the trailer. Additional counterweights,
among other options and equipment, may make the
loader heavier than indicated in the identification
plate. Never exceed the maximum allowed masses
of the trailer, the towing vehicle, etc.
Always check the maximum allowed tow bar weight
of the towing vehicle. It is recommended to measure
the tow bar load with a scale. Small variation of the
location of the loader on the trailer may make the
load on tow bar excessive or negative, making the
trailer and towing vehicle unstable. Always make
sure that there is moderate load on the tow bar within
the limits shown in instructions of the towing vehicle.
