1. General safety precautions
① Before using the front wheel loader, the driver and relevant personnel must carefully read the operating and maintenance instructions or operation and maintenance manuals provided by the manufacturer, and do the things specified in the materials. Otherwise, it will bring serious consequences and unnecessary losses.
② The driver's clothing should meet safety requirements and wear necessary protective equipment.
③ In the small operating area or dangerous area, warning signs must be displayed within its range or at dangerous points.
④ It is absolutely forbidden for the driver to drive after drinking or excessive fatigue.
⑤ When performing maintenance or inspection operations in the central articulation area, install an "anti-rotation rod" to prevent the front and rear frames from rotating relative to each other.
⑥ After the small articulating loader stops, get on and off the loader in a place with a ladder handrail. Never jump up and down when the loader is working or walking.
⑦ When the loader needs to raise the arm to repair the loader, the raised boom must be padded to ensure that the boom will never fall under any maintenance situation.
2. Safety precautions before starting the engine
① Check and ensure that all lamps and display lights can display normally. In particular, check the normal display of the turn signal and brake display light.
② Check and ensure that no one is working under the vehicle or near the loader when starting the engine to ensure that the safety of yourself or others will not be endangered in the event of an accident.
③ The speed control handle of the loader should be turned to the neutral position before starting.
④ For a brake system without an emergency brake, the handbrake handle should be turned to the parking position.
⑤ The engine can only be started or operated in a place with good air flow. If it is operated indoors, the exhaust port of the engine should be connected to or facing the outdoors.
3. Safety precautions after the engine is started and during operation
① After the engine is started, wait until the brake pressure reaches the safe pressure before preparing to start to ensure the braking safety during driving. If there is an emergency brake, press the button of the emergency and parking brake valve (the button can only be pressed when the air pressure reaches the allowable starting pressure, otherwise it will automatically jump up when pressed), release the emergency and parking brakes, and then start in I gear. If there is no emergency brake, just put down the parking brake handle and release the parking brake to start.
② Clear the faults on the loader's travel path, and pay special attention to obstacles such as iron blocks and ditches to avoid cutting the tires.
③ Adjust the rearview mirror so that the driver can have the best field of vision after sitting.
④ Make sure that the loader's horn, reverse signal light, and all safety devices can work properly.
⑤ When you are about to start or when checking whether the steering is flexible and in place, you should honk the horn first to warn the surrounding people to pay attention to safety.
⑥ Before starting to walk, all control handles, pedals, and steering wheels should be tested once to make sure they are in normal state before starting to work. Pay special attention to checking whether the steering and braking are intact. Make sure that the steering and braking are completely normal before starting to run.
⑦ When traveling, place the bucket at a height of about 400mm from the ground. When working on a slope in a mountainous area or crossing obstacles such as ditches, you should slow down and make small turns, and pay attention to avoid tipping. When the loading surface starts to slide to one side on a steep slope, it must be unloaded immediately to prevent further sliding
⑧ Try to avoid too many tires and excessive slipping during operation; try to avoid two wheels hanging in the air, and do not allow only two wheels to continue working.
⑨ When working as a tractor, it is only allowed to be connected to the traction device. No one is allowed to stand between the towed object and the loader, and a certain safety distance must be maintained to prevent safety accidents.
4. Safety precautions when stopping
① The loader should be parked on flat ground and the bucket should be placed flat on the ground. When the engine is turned off, the working device control handle needs to be repeatedly pulled to ensure that each hydraulic cylinder is in a pressure-free rest state. When the loader can only be parked on a slope, the tires must be padded.
② Put various handles in neutral or middle position
③ Take away the electric lock key first, then turn off the main power switch, and finally close the doors and windows.
④ Do not park in areas with open flames or high temperatures to prevent the tires from exploding due to heat and causing accidents.
⑤ When using a combination valve or air tank to inflate a tire, people must not stand in front of the tire to prevent injury from explosion.
