2.8.6 Loader lift arm locking system
CAUTION
Possibility of inadvertent loader lift arm activation.
Inadvertent activation can result in the loader arms dropping causing the bucket or attachment to engage the road surface. This can result in loss of machine control with possible injury to the operator and other work site persons.
►
Always lock the loader lift arm control to prevent inadvertent activation during travel.
►
The operator shall not leave the operator seat until the loader arms and attachment have been lowered to and are resting on the ground.
The loader lift arm can be secured against unintentional operation by means of a locking mechanism.
If you have switched on the locking mechanism, the loader lift arms will not move if the loader controls are moved. The fact that the loader lift arm is locked is not shown via indicator lights, but instead can be
seen from the position of the switching lever (Fig. 8).

3.1 Technical description
The loader consists of the vehicle frame, the drive and the axles. The vehicle frame contains all the drive and control units for the standard configuration. The vehicle frame con
sists of the front carriage with the loader lift arms, and the rear carriage, in which the drive unit is situated. They are connected by an articulated swivel joint.
Service braking is provided by the propulsion hydraulic system through the transfer gearbox and driveshaft to both axles. The braking-inching pedal provides a secondary service brake by contacting a hub-mounted differential in the transfer gear box. A separate parking brake with separate control is provided that engages the differential hub in the transfer gear box.
Drive
Steering
The loader is driven by a diesel engine, which powers the steering and working hydraulics and the driving hydraulics.
The fully hydraulic articulated swivel steering system operates via a dual action cylinder.
The propulsion hydraulics provide power to the transfer gear box by a directly attached hydraulic motor. The rear axle is integral with the transfer gear box. The front axle is powered by a driveshaft connecting the transfer gear box to the front axle.
The axles are designed as rigid axles.

TECHNICAL DATA 41
Hydraulics
The loader has two hydraulic systems supplied by a hydraulic fluid reservoir:
- hydrostatic drive
- steering and working hydraulics
The hydrostatic drive consists of an axial piston variable displacement pump, which drives an axial piston motor. The axial piston variable displacement pump is rigid coupled directly to the diesel engine, while the axial piston motor is directly coupled to the transfer case.
input power is limited to the diesel engine output, increased demands from traversing a grade or loading the bucket will result in speed reduction which increases the torque to meet the performance demand. This adjustment control allows the entire range of performance to be utilized optimally.
Actuating the inching pedal is an override control that can reduce wheel loader speed as operation demands. Depressing the pedal to the full range will stop the travel motion of the wheel loader. The inching pedal permits an infinite number of control positions. The inching pedal provides the service brake function by destroking the pump until no fluid is transmitted between the pump and motor.
Displacement is automatic and continuous, but depends on speed and load. The travel speed depends on the engine speed and the machine load. Operating speed is set by the accelerator pedal position, engine speed and torque demand of the loading operation. Depending on load, the variable displacement pump automatically adjusts pump displacement to balance torque and speed requirements within the power capability of the diesel engine. Since the
A gear hydraulic pump supplies the steering and working hydraulics with oil. The gear pump is rigid coupled to the drive‘s variable displacement pump. Pump flow output is directly proportional to the diesel engine speed.
The hydraulic system is equipped with relief valves, filters and oil coolers.
42 TECHNICAL DATA
Electrical system
The electrical system operates at 12 volts and the electrical circuits are protected by fuses to prevent overload damage to the system and its components.

Loader travel Braking and stopping
1. Release the parking brake after the engine has warmed up.
–
The handbrake indicator light will go off. The loader is ready to travel.
2. Select the travel direction by actuating the travel direction switch.
–
The indicator light shows the travel direction selected.
You can travel.
3. Push the accelerator.
–
The loader will be brought up to speed smoothly.
To change the traveling speed independently of the engine speed, you can push the braking-inching pedal on the operator’s platform next to the steering column. The first part of the pedal‘s path adjusts the travel back down, then the brake system is actuated. Pushing the braking-inching pedal allows you to continuously reduce the pump flow rate until the loader has come to a halt without wearing out the material. This allows you to also travel very slowly at a high engine speed.
The loader‘s traveling speed is proportional to the accelerator‘s displacement.
• low engine speed = low traveling speed
• high engine speed = high traveling speed
1. Reduce the loader‘s traveling speed by decreasing the engine speed.
2. To brake the loader, step on the braking-inching pedal.
3. To stop, step on the braking-inching pedal until the loader has come to a stop.
4. Shift to neutral.
5. Pull the lever for the parking brake.

5.4 Work operation
Before starting to work with the loader:
•
Survey the work area to determine if people, vehicles and obstacles are in the immediate work area. Do not start work until the work area is clear.
•
Constantly survey the area during working operation to avoid collision with people, vehicles and obstacles that may inadvertently enter the loader work area.
• verify that all controls are working correctly and the indicator lights are functioning. Move the lift arm and attachment hydraulics to assure smooth control response.
•
Jerky, spongy or delayed control response may indicate that air has entered the hydraulic system. Cycle the hydraulic system a few times. If the controls become smooth, the air has been eliminated from the system. If the problem persists, do not operate the machine in this condition. Advise the supervisor and have a technician determine the source of air entrainment.
• Inspect attachments to confirm they are in ser
viceable condition and are properly connected to the loader arms.
In the event of power loss (failure of the engine and/ or driving or working hydraulics), lower the loader lift arms to the ground immediately and relieve the control circuits and hydraulic lines of pressure. Read
Section 7, page 117 »Lowering loader arms«.

5.4.1 Operating lever for Loader lift arms
•
Keep the loader lift arms and attachment as low as practical when traveling. This improves visibility and stability, and reduces the risk of striking overhead objects such as power lines.
• Do not activate float control of the loader arms until the bucket or attachment is in contact with the ground or surface to be back dragged. Engaging float with the lift arms raised will cause rapid descent of the lift arms.
•
Do not engage the loader controls unless seated in the operator seat with the seat belt fastened.
•
Operate the loader with smooth steady control motion. Rapid and jerky control motion is inefficient and will cause operator fatigue and cause potential harm to the loader.
•
Do not leave the operator seat until the loader lift arms and attachment have been lowered to the ground.

WARNING
Tipping hazards. Improper use of the loader lift arms and bucket may cause the loader to tip, possibly causing injury or equipment damage.
►
Operate the loader with the bucket as close as practical to the working surface or ground to reduce the risk of tipping the wheel loader.
►
To reduce the risk of tipping the wheel loader, do not raise the loader lift arms and fully loaded bucket unless the ground or operating surface is firm and flat.
►
Do not drive across slopes with the loader arms raised.
►
Do not travel up or down slopes with the loader arms raised.
Loading work
Fig. 35
Loading work 1
Lower the bucket to pick up loose material so that it is parallel to the ground and move it into the material to be loaded.
Here the driving speed should correspond to the type of
material and the respective working conditions (Fig. 35).
Adjust your driving speed when driving into the loading material, according to the type of material and the respective conditions.
Make sure that no excessive wheel slip occurs.
Tire wear and fuel consumption will increase unnecessarily and the loader‘s performance will not be fully utilized.
W L 25 Canopy
Now raise the loader lift arms slightly so that the weight is on the loader‘s front axle. This is to avoid excess wheel slip. You can also manually restrict wheel slip by inching.
To fill the bucket, curl the bucket as shown in Fig. 36 as the
loader arms are slowly raised. Carry the loaded bucket in this position to the location or truck where the material in the bucket is to be deposited.
Carry the loaded bucket low until necessary to lift it to the necessary loading height.
If material is to be loaded which the bucket cannot easily penetrate, you can create an up-and-down movement of the bucket cutting edge by alternately curling the bucket slightly upward and downward while penetrating into the material. This makes it easy for the bucket to penetrate the

Soft material:
Lower the bucket to the ground to lift out soft material and tilt the bucket forward until you have a digging angle. If you start driving the loader forward now, the bucket‘s digging edge will break into the ground. Now make the tilting angle flat to remove as even a layer as possible and to avoid a
large amount of wheel slip (Fig. 38).
Resistant material:
Lower the bucket to the ground to lift out resistant material and tilt the bucket forwards until you have a digging angle.
When you drive the loader forwards now, slightly press the bucket downwards so that it can break into the ground.
Should the bucket‘s digging angle penetrate the ground, make the tilting angle flatter. Use the bucket curl control lever to produce an up-and-down movement of the digging

5.4.8 Precaution measures for various temperature conditions
At high outside temperatures
Take the following precautions at high temperatures to prevent the loader from being damaged:
•
Regularly check the cooling system:
-
Keep the engine coolant and oil coolers clean
-
Make sure that the coolant level is always correct
-
Use the proper coolant mix.
-
Regularly check the cooling system for leaks
-
Regularly check the condition and tension of the fan pulley
•
Use engine lubricating oil of the proper viscosity class.
• Regularly check the engine air filter.
At low outside temperatures
•
Do not use starting aids such as ether. The manifold heating system can ignite the ether, causing an explosion.
•
Snow, mud and freezing rain reduce traction.
Reduce speed and avoid slopes under these conditions.
• Maintain the windshield cleaning fluid system and keep all windows clean. visibility is a basic necessity for safe operation.
Additional starting aids may be required if the temperature is –18°C (0°F) or less. Typically, these aids are auxiliary engine oil and coolant heaters along with additional battery cranking capacity.
W L 25 Canopy
Ope r ating a nd Ope r atiOn 105
Hydraulic and lubricating fluids are more viscous when cold. When ambient temperatures are at or near the freezing point of 0°C (32°F), permit the engine, drivetrain and hydraulic system to warm up at idle speed until the temperature indicator for the system indicates warming has progressed.
•
Operate the wheel loader slowly and smoothly to accelerate the warming process.
• Observe the hydraulic system filter pressure display to determine if pressure is excessive.
•
Do not connect two 12v batteries in series (+ to –) and then connect the remaining battery poles to the starter or starter solenoid. This will damage the electrical system
Take the following precautions at low temperatures to prevent the loader from being damaged and to make the loader easier to start:
•
Use the proper coolant mix.
•
Use engine lubricating oil of the proper viscosity class.
•
