^( 1 )	Lift capacities are based on "SAE J1097" and "ISO 10567" standards. The listed capacities do not exceed 87 percent of the hydraulic lifting capacity or 75 percent of the tipping capacity. Weight of all lifting accessories must be subtracted from the lifting capacities.
^( 2 )	For a specific reach and a specific height, different lifting capacities can be achieved. These different lifting capacities depend on the relative positions of the VA boom, the stick, and the bucket cylinder. For this reason, the maximum and the minimum lifting capacity at each location is provided. Maximum values were obtained with the VA boom in the optimum position. Any movement of the VA boom will affect the lifting capacity.
^( 3 )	Capacity is limited by hydraulics rather than by a tipping load.

^( 1 )	Lift capacities are based on "SAE J1097" and "ISO 10567" standards. The listed capacities do not exceed 87 percent of the hydraulic lifting capacity or 75 percent of the tipping capacity. Weight of all lifting accessories must be subtracted from the lifting capacities.
^( 2 )	For a specific reach and a specific height, different lifting capacities can be achieved. These different lifting capacities depend on the relative positions of the VA boom, the stick, and the bucket cylinder. For this reason, the maximum and the minimum lifting capacity at each location is provided. Maximum values were obtained with the VA boom in the optimum position. Any movement of the VA boom will affect the lifting capacity.
^( 3 )	Capacity is limited by hydraulics rather than by a tipping load.
