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.
• 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.
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-

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.
