1 Introduction

1.1 Important information on this Operator’s Manual

Please store the Operator’s Manual in the storage box at the rear of the seat. This Operator’s Manual contains important information on how to work safely, correctly

and economically with the machine. Therefore, it aims not only at new operators, but it also serves as a reference for experienced ones. It helps to avoid hazardous situations and reduce repair costs and downtimes. Furthermore, the reliability and the service life of the machine will be increased by following the instructions in the Operator’s Manual. This is why the Operator’s Manual must always be kept at hand in the machine.

Your own safety, as well as the safety of others, depends to a great extent on how the machine is moved and operated. Therefore, carefully read and understand this Operator’s Manual prior to the first drive. This Operator’s Manual will help to familiarize yourself more easily with the machine, thereby enabling you to use it more safely and efficiently.

Prior to the first drive, carefully read chapter “Safety Instructions” as well, in order to be prepared for possible hazardous situations, as it will be too late for it during operation. As a rule, keep the following in mind:

Careful and prudent working is the best way to avoid accidents!

Operational safety and readiness of the machine do not only depend on your skill, but also on maintenance and servicing of the machine. This is why regular maintenance and servicing is absolutely necessary. Extensive maintenance and repair work must always be performed by a technician with appropriate training. Insist on using original spare parts when performing maintenance and repair work. This ensures operational safety and readiness of your machine, and maintains its value.

The machine can be equipped with the “Telematic” option (for transmitting oper- ating data, location, etc. via satellite).

The diesel engine permanently drives two axial-piston variable displacement pumps whose oil flow is sent to the axial piston motors on the left and right.

The diesel engine also drives the joint gear pump for the operating hydraulics. The oil flow of this pump depends on the diesel engine speed only.

The indicator lights on the instrument panel of the machine ensure constant monitoring of the engine and hydraulic oil temperature, as well as of the coolant temperature and level.

1.4 Fields of application, attachments

Caution!

The attachments will decide in the first place how the loader is used.

In order to avoid damage to the machine, only the attachments listed below have been certified for installation on the machine.

☞ Please contact your Neuson dealer if you wish to use other attachments.

Using tools of other manufacturers, or tools which have been released for other loader types, can reduce the machine’s output and stability considerably, and can also cause damage to the machine and injuries to the operator or the personnel.

The buckets listed below have been released by Neuson and are certified for transport on public roads. However, the national provisions of the country shall apply in which the machine is used.

Attachments which have been subsequently released for your machine may possibly not be certified for transport on public roads. This requires a separate certification from the competent authority.

Always compare the weight of the attachment and its maximum payload with the indications in the lift capacity table. Never exceed the maximum payload.

On slopes or in the case of machines with loads, for example, the braking effect of the parking brake may still be insufficient to safely park the machine. If possible, always park the machine without any load and on level ground, and secure it with suitable means (chocks, for example).

Test the brakes once a day.

Service brake test

The test must be performed on horizontal, firm and level ground. 1 Raise the bucket 20 – 30 cm (8 – 12 in) from the ground. 2 Start forward machine travel in low speed. 3 Push the control lever forward about 50 % of the lever travel (control lever on the

left if the machine has ISO controls, both control levers if it has H controls). 4 Release the control lever(s). 5 The machine must brake abruptly.

Before starting the engine

Parking brake test

Testing the parking brake is not possible for technical reasons.

☞ Adjust seat position and rearview mirror

– see Seat adjustment, safety bars and seat belt on page 3-40

Empty battery

Starting battery

Operation

Safety instructions

• Never jump-start the engine if the battery of the machine is frozen – explosion hazard!

☞ Dispose of a frozen battery!

• The loader must not touch the jump-starting vehicle when connected with battery

jumper cables – sparking hazard!

• The external power source must deliver 12 V; higher supply voltages will damage the

electrical system of the vehicles!

• Use only authorized battery jumper cables which conform to the safety requirements

and which are in perfect condition!

• The jump lead connected to the positive + terminal of the starting battery must never be

brought into connection with electrically conductive vehicle parts – risk of short circuit!

• Route the battery jumper cables so they cannot catch on rotating components in the

engine compartment!

Procedure

☞ Drive the jump-starting vehicle close enough to the loader so that the battery jumper

cables can reach to connect the two batteries

☞ Let the engine of the jump-starting vehicle run ☞ First connect one end of the red jump lead (+) to the + terminal of the empty battery,

then connect the other end to the + terminal of the starting battery

☞ Connect one end of the black jump lead (–) to the – terminal of the starting battery ☞ Connect the other end of the black cable (–) to a solid metal component fimly screwed

on the engine block or onto the engine block itself. Do not connect it to the negative terminal of the empty battery, as otherwise explosive gas emerging from the battery can ignite if sparks are formed!

☞ Start the engine of the machine with the empty battery

Once the engine has started:

With the engine running, disconnect both jump leads in exactly the reverse order (first remove the

– terminal, then the + terminal) – this prevents sparking near the battery!

Engine warm-up

In general, a battery delivers less energy in cold conditions. Therefore ensure that

the battery is always well charged.

After the engine has started, allow it to warm up at slightly increased idling speed until it reaches its operating temperature of 90 °C (coolant). Run the engine without load during the warm-up phase. During the warm-up phase, check for unusual noise, exhaust color, leaks, malfunctions or damage. In case of malfunctions, damage or leaks, park and secure the machine, and find out the cause for the damage and have it repaired.

Warm up the hydraulic oil, too, if you are warming up the engine, especially in cold weather.

☞ Let the engine run at half throttle only after it has reached its operating temperature, and hold

the joystick in the “Tilt in bucket” position 5 minutes (10 minutes in cold weather).

☞ Perform machine travel very carefully on an open stretch. ☞ Repeat these two steps until the machine has reached its operating temperature.

Warm up longer if the hydraulic system reacts sluggishly.

Perform machine travel and operation very carefully during this time. The machine has not reached its operating temperature yet if the engine still stalls during operation!

Machine travel on slopes

Operation

☞ Lower the loader unit and tilt in the bucket fully before starting machine travel. This not

only enables you to better estimate your space requirements, but also ensures machine stability.

☞ Move the control levers for the attachments smoothly if you need to do so during

machine travel. Abrupt movements cause sudden changes in the machine’s behavior and make machine travel more difficult.

☞ Perform slow machine travel on rough terrain and avoid fast movements of the loader unit. ☞ Do not perform machine travel on obstacles if possible. If you need to clear obstacles,

lower the loader unit to the lowest possible height and perform slow machine travel. Do not move the machine on obstacles that cause a strong inclination of the machine (10° or more).

☞ The machine can tip over if a wheel runs over an obstacle or through a hole. In these cases,

reduce speed to minimum and ensure that the machine does not lose its balance.

Proceed as follows to prevent the machine from tipping over or slipping sideways.

☞ During uphill or downhill machine travel, direct the heavier part of the machine uphill. ☞ Do not perform machine travel in very wet meadows or on leaves. The machine risks

slipping if working in an inclined position.

☞ Before machine operation on slopes, ensure that the parking brake works correctly. ☞ Never perform downhill machine travel at high speed, you risk losing control of the

machine and causing a serious or fatal accident.

☞ Do not perform machine travel, under no circumstances, on slopes over 15°. ☞ Refuel immediately if the fuel level indicator moves to the red range when working on

slopes. Due to the strong inclination, the engine could take in air and stall suddenly. This in turn could jeopardize the safety of the operator and of any persons on the downhill side of the slope.

☞ Should the engine stall suddenly, lower the bucket immediately and apply the parking

brake.

BA 901/1101 en – Edition 2.1 * 91101b330.fm 3-31

☞ Always move straight ahead when performing uphill or downhill machine travel.

Performing machine travel diagonally or at an angle to the slope is very dangerous. Do not go beyond a maximum angle of inclination of 15°, otherwise the machine will tip over.

☞ Never change direction on slopes or perform machine travel across slopes. Always

change position on level ground before continuing machine travel on a slope.

☞ Perform machine travel slowly in meadows, on leaves or wet steel plates. The machine

can slip even if the ground is level. If the engine stops as you perform machine travel across a slope, immediately put the control levers to neutral position, apply the parking brake and start the engine again.

ground

☞ Reduce engine speed completely. ☞ Apply the parking brake. ☞ Disengage the starter.

Parking the machine on slopes

Never stop the engine under full load, otherwise it can be damaged due to overheating. Except in case of an emergency, always ensure that the engine can cool down before it is stopped.

☞ Let the engine run at idling speed with no load for at least 5 minutes before

you switch it off.

☞ Avoid stopping the machine abruptly. Always ensure that there is enough space for

stopping the machine (especially if the engine is cold).

• Park the machine on level ground with sufficient bearing capacity. Never park on slopes. If you cannot avoid parking the machine on a slope:

☞ Place chocks under the wheels/tracks and lower the loader unit to the ground to

prevent the machine from moving.

• Serious accidents may be caused by unintentionally actuating the control levers, and hence moving the attachment or the entire machine.

☞ Always apply the parking brake and remove the starting key before leaving the seat.
