OPERATING THE MACHINE WORKING WITH THE FORKLIFT TRUCK ATTACHMENT Operations with an forklift truck attachment on a wheel loader differ from operations with the bucket or a forklift truck. Take into account the following notes and the instructions specified in the chapter "Safety": Do not take up loads which are so high that you cannot see onto the route. Hold the fork tines of the forklift truck attachment as horizon- tal as possible when you take up the load. During the ride, hold the load as low as possible in order to have free sight onto the route. Always drive slowly (speed range 1) with the load. The boom performs a semicircular stroke while performing the lifting movement.
Raise the boom only immediately in front of the place at which you want to unload to the desired height. This prevents that you damage the load during lifting it. Hold the forklift truck attachment as horizontal as possible during piling up. PICKING UP THE LOAD 1. Approach slowly the load to be picked up. 19.685 in (500 mm) Danger of accidents! If the load does not lie in the centre of gravity, the stability of the machine is impaired. Drive under the load until it is touching the fork back of the forklift truck attachment. (500 mm) 19.685 in 2. Drive so far under the load until it touches the fork back of the forklift truck attachment. 3.
Tip in slightly the forklift truck attachment so that the load cannot fall down. 4. Lower the boom to its transport position. The two red arrows of the transport position marking on the lifting cylinder will then be next to each other. 5. Then lift the load to the appropriate height only shortly be- fore you reach the stacking surface. Raise the load a little higher than necessary. 6. Set the load surface slowly and from above onto the stack- ing. 7. Slowly lower the boom so far that you can pull out the fork tines below the load. 8. Make sure that nobody is behind the machine and drive off backwards from the deposit surface. 75_156 75_152 5-38
