WORKING ON SLOPES WITH A LOADED BUCKET
Working on a slope can be dangerous if safety and some basic precau-
tions are not observed. Below is a list of some basic precautions that
should be followed:
1. Always check the work area for snow, land slips, gravel, loose
ground and anything that may suddenly modify the work conditions
and stability of the machine.
2. Shift the machine into a low gear range. Do not change gear ranges
or press any feature buttons when traveling up or down slopes.
3. When traveling up the slope, the front loader bucket must always be
directed toward the top of the incline.
4. When traveling down a slope with the bucket loaded, travel with
the loaded bucket facing the top of the incline backing the machine
down the incline.
5. Always keep the bucket at least 50 cm (20 in) above the ground.
Never raise the bucket when traveling on a slope.
6. Never turn on a slope or travel at an angle on the slope.
7. Travel up or down the slope at a slow controllable speed.
Remark
If the machine should start to tip with the bucket loaded, lower the bucket and load on to the ground immedi-
ately and quickly to help stabilize the machine and lower the center of gravity.
CHANGING THE FRONT BUCKET
When changing front loader buckets always ware gloves and eye protec-
tion. To change the front bucket:
• Position the bucket and machine on level ground.
• Remove the bolts (1) and coupling pins (2).
• Exchange the bucket (3), taking care to completely clean the pins
and bushings before installing them.
• Reinstall the bolts and tighten them in place.
• Lubricate all pin locations.
Never use your fingers or hands to line up the pin or bolt holes. If hole alignment is not correct, use a steel
drift to line up parts.
