13 B58FC1 0000000094 EN 002

SAFETY

Dangers when picking up and putting down implements

There is a risk of serious injury and lethal danger due to implements falling down or
uncontrolled lowering of the front loader when unsuitable implements are used or if the
used implements are overloaded.

 Check that the implements are suitable before use.

 Check that the implement is locked correctly by repeatedly putting the implement

down on the ground.

 Perform a visual check on the locking device.

 Only perform the hydraulic locking of the implement up to a height of 1.5 m.

 Check the proper functioning of the implements one time without load before

beginning work.

Dangers during excavation work

There is lethal danger and a risk of explosion during excavation work due to collision with
cables buried in the ground.

 Before performing excavation work, ensure that there are no electric cables in the

ground.

 Before performing excavation work, ensure that there are no gas lines in the ground.

Dangers during loading work

There is a risk of serious injury and mortal danger when loading and transporting loads,
if the front loader is operated from one side, the load is raised too far over the driver's
seat or if unsuitable implements are used.

 If not equipped, check for retrofitting a cab and/or a FOPS (falling objects protection

structure) / ROPS (roll-over protection structure) within the framework of work
safety regulations.

 If there is no cab or safety equipment, never lift loads over the driver's seat.

 Only use suitable implements, which prevent e.g. rolling back and falling on the

driver's seat.

B58FC1 0000000094 EN 002 14

Dangers when operating the front loader

There is a risk of serious injury or lethal danger due to tipping of the tractor when working
on slopes, when going around bends, when the load on the rear axle is too low, and when
driving into the bulk to be lifted at a skewed angle.
The risk increases when the front loaders are raised up high because of the higher centre
of gravity.

 Drive carefully when working on slopes. Never travel with a raised load across a

≥ 20%

10 km/h

slope.

 Ensure that the ground is level enough.

 When driving in curves, reduce the speed and lower the load.

 Never start driving abruptly with the front loader raised high and fully loaded.

 Observe and comply with the maximum load of the tractor.

 Always use sufficient counterweights at the rear of the tractor.

 In case of instability or tipping, lower the front loader and remain in the driver's cab.

 Drive towards the load in a straight line and do not steer while driving into the load.

 Use the safety belts.

SAFETY

 Connect the brake pedals.

 Switch off the front axle suspension.

 On tractors with adjustable track width: set the maximum possible track width.

When driving on roads, there is a risk of serious injury and lethal danger for the operator
as well as for other road users if the tractor and the front loader are not correctly prepared
and operated for road traffic.

 Only drive on roads without a load.

 Before driving on roads, switch off the hydraulic system and lock it.

 Raise the front loader.

15 B58FC1 0000000094 EN 002

SAFETY

Dangers due to falling loads

There is mortal danger due to raised loads falling down on the driver's seat. There is a
particularly high risk when lifting pallets or bales above the driver's cab and when working
on slopes. Even the standard protection systems (roll-over protection structure ROPS,
falling objects protective structures FOPS) do not provide fully adequate protection.

 When working on slopes, reduce the implement filling and lower the load.

 Check the inclination of the implement. Do not scoop too far with the implement.

 Use implements that are designed such that they prevent loads from falling onto the

driver's seat.

 Only use the appropriate implements when loading piece goods (e.g. bale grabber

for bales or pallet fork for pallets).

 Lift pallets or bales one at a time. Never stack several loads on top of each other,

since the top load could fall down on the driver's seat.

 Compensate for the increased angle on front loaders without parallel motion when

lifting by “dumping” with the implement.

 Do not operate the front loader without parallel motion while driving in reverse.

 On tractors without a cab or 4-post roll-over protection structure, do not lift large

load items, in particular bales, any higher than the pivot point of the lifting arm.

 Watch the load as you are lifting. Do not lift the load when reversing.

Dangers during maintenance

Maintenance work carried out incorrectly (care and cleaning, service, repairs) impair the
safety of the front loader.

 Check the front loader regularly for defects.

 Check mounting parts (brackets) regularly for damage (cracks).

 Care and cleaning work must be carried out correctly.

 Only have repair work performed by authorised qualified personnel.

4.1 Implement locking mechanism

4.1.1 Mechanical implement locking mechanism

Skid-steer and Euro change frames

⚠ WARNING

Risk of injury due to implements falling down!

The implement may fall down if the implement locking mechanism is open or not locked correctly. This
can cause serious injury to persons standing in the surrounding area.

 Only actuate the implement locking mechanism when the implement is set down on the ground or

on a secure rack.

 Always check that the implement is correctly locked.

⚠ CAUTION

Risk of crushing due to spring tension!

There is spring tension on the handle of the implement locking mechanism, which closes the locking
mechanism when the handle is lifted. Improper use can lead to injury to hands and fingers.

 Always operate the handle with one hand and grab it in the middle.

Euro change frame

The mechanical implement locking mechanism
on Euro change frames is actuated manually.

The implement is hinged with its hooks on the
hook catch on the change frame.

At the bottom, the implement is resting on the
stop of the change frame. Both eyelets of the
implement project into the mounting pockets of
the change frame.

The locking mechanism is held open by the stop.
When turning the actuation lever, the locking
mechanism is closed by the spring, as the locking
pin is pushed through the eyelets of the
implement.

Do not raise the front loader higher than

1.5 m until proper locking of the implement
locking mechanism has been checked!

4.2 Basic functions

⚠ DANGER

Lethal danger due to loads falling down from front loaders without parallel motion!

On front loaders without parallel motion, the implement tilts to the rear when lifting. As a result, the load
can fall on the driver and cause lethal injuries.

 Watch the load as you are lifting. Do not lift the load when reversing.

 Compensate for the increased angle on front loaders without parallel motion when lifting by

“dumping” with the implement.

⚠ WARNING

Risk of injury and material damage caused by falling loads or lowering front loader!

With dumping implements that are long or protrude far to the front, the centre of gravity can shift and
cause the pressure relief valve of the front loader to open by itself. As a result, the front loader dumps
or lowers uncontrollably and can lead to serious injuries and damage.

 Observe the maximum load of the front loader (see 11 Technical specifications).

 Always use sufficient counterweights at the rear of the tractor (see 5.3.2 Ballasting).

 During loading work, instruct persons to exit the working area (see 2.8 Danger zones).

The front loader has 4 basic functions that are required to move the lifting arms and the implement.

B0AG

⚠ WARNING

Possible risk of injury due to unexpected movement!

If the front loader is not completely lowered, a vacuum may form in the hydraulic cylinders during the
float position. This causes uncontrolled lowering of the front loader at a later time. This can cause
persons to be injured or crushed.

 Only use the float position when the front loader is completely lowered.

 Do not use the float position with implements that require the presence of other persons!

 Only use the float position if nobody is in the danger zone.

 Do not scoop while in float position.

⚠ WARNING

Possible risk of injury due to the implement tipping over!

On L and H front loaders, the float position for the implement may not be activated for the scooping and
dumping functions. This could cause the implement to tip over unintentionally to the rear. This may

result in serious accidents.

 The activation of the float position must be ruled out through the assembly on L and H front loaders.

If this is not the case, work with the front loader must be stopped immediately and the specialist
workshop must be contacted, to have the float position deactivated for the scooping and dumping
functions. The front loader may only be used again when the float position has been deactivated for
the scooping and dumping functions.

FUNCTIONS

The float position is used to improve ground adaptation, since the implement can then follow the ground
contours and "floats" on it.

4.3.1 Lifting arm float position

For the float position of the lifting arms, the
hydraulic cylinders are depressurized, i.e., they
are open towards the tank. The front loader lies
on the ground through the pressure of its own
weight.

Activating the lifting arm float position:

(1) Fully lower the front loader.

(2) Move the operating lever all the way to the

front until it engages (see 6.1 Operating
elements).

 The float position is activated.

4.4 Indicator for implement position (only H and P)

The indicator for the implement position is
located on the right implement cylinder. It allows
the horizontal position of the implement to be
read from the driver's seat.

The rod is attached on the lower bearing pin and
runs through the lug that is attached to the
deflection triangle or the lifting arm. When
dumping or scooping, the rod moves in the lug.
When the implement is in horizontal position, the
bend of the rod is resting in the lug.

4.5 Parallel motion (P)

With the parallel motion, the guide linkage
ensures constant orientation/inclination of the
implement.

The function is particularly suitable for loading
pallets and stacking bales.

The function can only be executed when
the implement is horizontal or in scooping
position.

4.6 Anti-lowering guard

⚠ WARNING

Risk of injury and accident due to implement tipping off!

The anti-lowering guard only prevents the front loader from lowering, however, it does not prevent
accidental dumping of the implement. Persons whose presence is required near the load can be injured
by the load falling down.

 Do not move the front loader as long as people are standing in the danger zone.

 Only start the lifting operation after everybody has left the danger zone.

The anti-lowering guard in compliance with EN 12525/A1 prevents sudden lowering of the front loader.
It is used when working with a raised front loader if the presence of persons is required in the machine's
working area.

The anti-lowering guard is not suitable for use with work cages that are used to transport people.

The operating state of the anti-lowering guard is shown by the lamp on the switch box. If the lamp is on,
the anti-lowering guard is activated. If the lamp is off, the anti-lowering guard is deactivated. In this case,
there may not be any one standing in the working area of the front loader (see 2.8 Danger zones). When
the anti-lowering guard is activated, the lifting function is possible and the lowering function is locked.

4.7.1 Additional control circuits

⚠ WARNING

Risk of injury due to unexpected movement of the front loader or implement!

If there is an electrical malfunction, operating elements can be temporarily or permanently out of
function. As a result, it is possible that an unintended function is triggered instead of the selected
implement functions (see 3rd control circuit and 4th control circuit). The triggering of unwanted
functions can lead to unexpected movement of the front loader or implement and cause serious injuries.

 Before use, check all of the front loader functions without a load.

 In case of malfunction, stop working with the front loader immediately and contact the specialist

workshop.

For hydraulic functions of the implement, additional control circuits must be installed. The
corresponding hydraulic couplings are located directly on the valve and are available as plug-in
couplings.

4.7.2 Comfort Drive

⚠ WARNING

Possible risk of crushing!

The front loader is lowered when the Comfort Drive is switched on.

 Before switching on the Comfort Drive, lower the front loader completely to the ground.

NOTICE

Possible material damage due to overloading!

The Comfort Drive can be overloaded when working with heavy loads (e.g. excavation) and with the
pallet fork, resulting in damage.

 Switch the Comfort Drive off for heavy load work and when working with the pallet fork.

The Comfort Drive function enables smoother and more comfortable driving with a mounted front loader
during transport and when driving on roads. A piston accumulator is installed in front of the cross tube
for this purpose, which absorbs impact loads caused by driving on uneven ground.

To achieve optimal function of the Comfort Drive, lower the front loader again a little bit after
lifting.

NOTICE

Material damage due to divided brakes on the tractor!

When the front loader is mounted, one-sided braking can lead to serious damage.

 Couple the brake pedal in the tractor before using the front loader.

The divided brake pedal serve to support the
steering of the tractor and can brake the
respective wheels on each side. Therefore, for
example, small turning radii can be achieved
when driving on roads. When the front loader is
mounted, it is recommended to couple the brake
pedals before start-up.

5.3.2 Ballasting

⚠ WARNING

Serious injury due to the machine falling over!

When working with the front loader without rear counterweights, the tractor can tip over and cause injury
to the driver and persons in the surroundings. Moreover, there is the risk of overloading the front axle
of the tractor.

 For front loader work, always use sufficient counterweight at the rear of the tractor.

The proper ballasting of the tractor is very
important to achieve sufficient stability. This
stability is influenced by the centre of gravity of
the loaded tractor / front loader combination, the
geometrical conditions, the weight, the
arrangement of the implement and the load in the
implement, the track width and wheel base of the
tractor, acceleration and braking processes as
well as the road conditions, to name a few.
A significant measure to increase the stability is
the addition of counterweights or rear weights,
which is strongly recommended for all front
loader work. If operation with a rear weight is not
possible, the stability can be increased with
appropriate ballasting on the rear wheels (wheel
weights) or with liquid in the tyres.

To determine the require weight for ballasting, the
following conditions apply:

When the front loader is fully loaded with the
implement in the most forward position, the rear
axle must carry min. 20 % of the total weight (sum
of the weight of the tractor, the front loader, the
implement, the load and the counterweight)
(see Fig. 30). This ensures stability and braking
efficacy.

When the front loader is raised without an
implement, the front axle must carry min. 20 % of
the total weight (see Fig. 31). This ensures the
steering capacity while driving.

Fig. 30 Load for front loader work

 Observe the operating instructions of the

tractor as well as the permissible axle loads
for the front and rear axles.

⚠ WARNING

Possible risk of injury due to uncontrolled movement of the front loader!

If the control unit was not actuated for a longer period of time, there may be e.g. temperature differences
between the hydraulic fluid and the control unit. This can cause the control valves to jam and the front
loader moves uncontrollably. This may result in serious accidents.

 At ambient temperatures lower than 10 °C and when the front loader is not used for longer than

15 minutes, always first actuate the scooping and dumping functions at a standstill to warm up the
control unit.

 Only use the lifting and lowering functions after the warm-up phase.

⚠ WARNING

OPERATION

Possible risk of injury due to the implement tipping over!

On L and H front loaders, the float position for the implement may not be activated for the scooping and
dumping functions. This could cause the implement to tip over unintentionally to the rear. This may

result in serious accidents.

 The activation of the float position must be ruled out through the assembly on L and H front loaders.

If this is not the case, work with the front loader must be stopped immediately and the specialist
workshop must be contacted, to have the float position deactivated for the scooping and dumping
functions. The front loader may only be used again when the float position has been deactivated for
the scooping and dumping functions.

 Before using the front loader, immobilise or disconnect other implements on the tractor.

 Immobilise or disconnect the front loader before using other implements.

 Never use programmed sequences for the front loader.

⚠ WARNING

Risk of accident due to wrong assignment of the hose lines!

If the front loader is connected directly to the auxiliary control units of the tractor with hose lines,
swapping of the hose lines can result in incorrect assignment of the functions on the operating lever.
This can result in unexpected movements and accidents.

 Always mark the couplings on the hose lines and connection points.

 Promptly replace damaged or missing labels.

 Connect the hose lines so that the float position takes place in the actuation direction of the lowering

function.

 Only connect the float position after lowering.

 After connecting, check all of the functions of the front loader while at a standstill.

OPERATION

The operating lever can look different depending on the tractor model. However, the control of basic
functions remains the same (see 6.1.1 Basic controls with levers).

The assignment of the buttons is arranged as follows:

Operating lever with one button

Button Front loader Function

A L, H, P 3rd control circuit

Operating lever with 2 buttons

Button Front loader Function

A L, H, P 3rd control circuit

B L, H, P 4th control circuit

Lock the operating lever in the zero position when driving on roads to prevent accidental
actuation of the front loader!

6.1.3 STOLL Base Control

⚠ WARNING

Risk of injury due to unexpected movement of the front loader!

If the operating lever is actuated unintentionally, the front loader can move unexpectedly. This can
cause injury to persons in the surrounding area.

 Lock the operating lever in the zero setting when the front loader is not in use.

 Before using the front loader, immobilise or disconnect other implements on the tractor.

 Immobilise or disconnect the front loader before using other implements.

The STOLL "Base Control" operating lever is a
single-lever control unit with up to 3 push-button
switches for additional functions of the front
loader and as an option, 2 micro-buttons on the
sides for tractor functions.

Moreover, the Base Control also has a locking
function, e.g. for driving on roads.

When the locking function is activated, it is
not possible to move the operating lever.

The control of the lever is the same as the basic
controls in 6.1.1 Basic controls with levers.

Fig. 40 Base Control with 5 buttons

The assignment of the buttons for the individual front loader types is shown in the following tables:

Operating lever with one button

Button Front loader Function

A L, H, P 3rd control circuit

Operating lever with 2 buttons

Button Front loader Function

A L, H, P 3rd control circuit

B L, H, P 4th control circuit

Buttons D and E are intended for the additional tractor functions and therefore have a different
assignment depending on the model and the customer requirements.

6.5 Picking up and putting down the implement

⚠ WARNING

Risk of injury and material damage caused by falling loads or lowering front loader!

With dumping implements that are long or protrude far to the front, the centre of gravity can shift and
cause the pressure relief valve of the front loader to open by itself. As a result, the front loader dumps
or lowers uncontrollably and can lead to serious injuries and damage.

 Observe the maximum load of the front loader (see 11 Technical specifications).

 Always use sufficient counterweights at the rear of the tractor (see 5.3.2 Ballasting).

 During loading work, instruct persons to exit the working area (see 2.8 Danger zones).

NOTICE

Material damage due to unsuitable implements!

The mounting of implements that are too long, too wide or too heavy can cause damage to the tractor,
the front loader or the implement.

 Ensure that the dimensions and weights of the front loader and implements fit to each other.

 Only use implements that are designed for the front loader and the mounted change frame.

 Only use implements that are appropriate for the kind of work you are doing.

 Observe the operating instructions of the implement.

6.7 Driving on roads

⚠ WARNING

Serious risk of accidents and injury due to loads falling down!

When driving on roads, serious accidents and injuries can be inflicted on other road users due to loads
falling down.

 Only drive on roads without a load.

⚠ WARNING

Possible risk of accident and injury due to accidental movement of the front loader!

Accidental actuation of the front loader while driving on roads can cause accidents and personal injury.

 Lock the operating lever or hydraulic system of the front loader when driving on roads.

⚠ WARNING

Possible risk of injury due to uncontrolled movement of the front loader!

If the control unit was not actuated for a longer period of time, there may be e.g. temperature differences
between the hydraulic fluid and the control unit. This can cause the control valves to jam and the front
loader moves uncontrollably. This may result in serious accidents.

 At ambient temperatures lower than 10 °C and when the front loader is not used for longer than

15 minutes, always first actuate the scooping and dumping functions at a standstill to warm up the
control unit.

 Only use the lifting and lowering functions after the warm-up phase.

OPERATION

⚠ WARNING

Risk of accident due to raised front loader!

When driving on roads, the tractor with the raised front loader can tip over and cause serious accidents.

 Always use sufficient counterweights at the rear of the tractor.

 Do not drive faster than 25 km/h.

 Pay attention to changes in the dimensions of the machine.

 Pay attention to the clearance height, e.g. under bridges, power lines and trees.

 Take extra care on bends.

 Pay attention to the longer braking path.

 If necessary, let somebody else guide you at blind spots.

When driving on roads, the tractor with a mounted front loader may only be driven by people who have
the necessary driving license and knowledge of the traffic regulations.

Also to be observed:

 Dismount the implement at a distance of more than 3.5 m between the steering wheel and the front

edge of the implement.

 If possible, raise the front loader such that the top edge of the implements does not exceed a height

of 4 m and the bottom edge of the implements begins at least 2 m above the road surface.

 Activate the road operating lock (see 6.7.1 Activating and deactivating the road operation lock).

 If equipped, activate Comfort Drive (see 4.7.2 Comfort Drive).

TROUBLESHOOTING

7 Troubleshooting

⚠ WARNING

Mortal danger and material damage due to lack of safety!

Troubleshooting and repair work carried out incorrectly can impair the safety of the front loader.

 Necessary repair work should only be performed by an authorised specialised workshop.

Faults on the front loader are frequently caused by factors that are not a result of a malfunction on the
front loader.

In case of faults, first check:

 Is there enough oil in the hydraulic tank of the tractor?
 Has the correct oil been used?

Only use oil types specified in the tractor operating instructions. The wrong oil can cause foam to
build up and leaks.

 Is the hydraulic oil clean and free of moisture?

You may need to change the oil and filter.
Install an additional filter in the hydraulic system if necessary.

 Are the hoses and connections mounted correctly?

The connections must be locked in place.

 Are the hoses and connectors undamaged, not clamped or twisted?
 Have the cylinders of the front loader been moved several times into their end positions to remove

the air from the lines and the cylinders?

 Have you taken the low outside temperatures into consideration?

Is the oil at operating temperature already?

If these points do not resolve the problem, the following table will help to localize and correct the fault.

Incorrect repairs can lead to safety risks. That is why the repair work must only be carried out by
suitably qualified personnel!
STOLL recommends that the repair work be performed at a specialised workshop.
