HANDLING LOADS
ADJUSTMENT OF FORKS
The forks must be adjusted in terms of width depending on the load to be handled. Proceed asfollows:
Floating forks (standard configuration):
-
Loosen the attachment screws (1
).
-
Lift the forks and slide over the bolts until the desired distance is reached.
-
Re-tighten the attachment screws (1 ).
WARNING
-
The centre of the load must always be between the two forks.
-
Make sure that you know the weight of the load before starting handling.
-
Do not exceed allowable load.
-
Refer to and apply the
maximum
loads indicated on the load chart.
-
Separate the forks as far as the load to be handled allows.
Once
the width of the forks has
been
adjusted correctly, the forklift is prepared for use. This process involves three phases:
loading, transport
and
unloading.
LOADING PHASE
-
Approach the load to be moved perpendicularly.
-
Introduce the
full
length of the forks under the load and
lift
a few centimetres from the ground.
-
Tilt the forks backwards to ensure the correct loading of the forklift.
