SAFETY LOCKS 3.1 SAFETY LOCKS 56 DANGER A 1 3 • If it is necessary to carry out maintenance operations or to stop the machine with raised loader arm, always en- gage the mechanical safety lock and the control lever lock. • When travelling on roads, always engage the mechanical lock, lock the control lever in order to keep the front buck- et in a stable position and use the front bucket antirota- tion lock and the teeth protection. • When travelling on roads or when the backhoe is not used, always connect the boom to the safety lock, fold the bucket and arm completely and lock both the swing and the control lever.
Non-compliance with these rules may cause serious dam- age in case of travel downhill or accidental swing of the equipment. A 1 3 RWA04350 The loader arm is provided with two safety locks that have two distinct essential functions: a) SAFETY LOCK (1): for the position of the arm when the machine is subjected to maintenance on the engine unit and inspection of the hydraulic system equipment and of the auxiliary equipment housed in the engine compart- ment and in any case to the inspections and maintenance operations that must be carried out with raised arm (A). b) SAFETY LOCK (2): for the position of the arm when the machine is travelling on roads (B).
It is important to remember that in work conditions the safety lock (1) must be positioned against the arm (C) and secured in that position by means of the safety pin (3), while the safety lock (2) must be put in the tool compartment positioned in the opera- tor’s cab, under the seat support. B 2 3 RWA04360 B 2 3 RWA04360 IMPORTANT • The safety locks (1-2) must always adhere to the stems of the hydraulic cylinders on whose eyes they are applied. • The safety locks must be positioned definitively by bring- ing the contact surfaces against each other with a slow and continuous movement, in such a way as not to dam- age the cylinder head surfaces.
• When the safety locks are in their definitive position, fas- ten them with the safety pins (3).
