Always transport the bucket as
low and close to the ground as
possible. Lift only at unloading
location. Keep the telescopic
boom retracted.
If the loader is not equipped with the boom self leveling:
When lifting material to a high level, the front plate must be simultaneously tilted to
prevent the load from falling from on the loader or the operator. Fitting the loader with the
boom self leveling option makes the repeated lifting work easier.
If the load is too heavy when lifting load from a high level, the loader could tip forward
when reversing with the loader. Never reverse and drag with the loader before making
sure that the loader can handle the load that is being lifted.

Material handling
Use maximum load indicated in the diagram of the operator’s manual of the loader as a guideline. Remember
that the actual load carrying capacity varies according to operating conditions, especially unevenness of
operating area has a great effect. Be especially careful when the load sensor indicator is activated. Also,
make sure that the ground surface is firm and follow recommended tire pressures.
Pay attention that a heavy load or long distance between the loader and the centre of
gravity of the load will affect the balance and handling of the loader. The use of additional
counterweights is recommended especially when operating smaller loader models. For
200-series loader the wheel weights are recommended. With heavy loads, the telescopic
boom must be kept retracted while moving with the loader.
