2.2.- Ensure that the cable is not worn, has no kinks, frays or serious deformations.
2.3.- And make sure the telescopic profiles raise and lower smoothly. They shouldn’t be either tight
together nor too loose (with a big gap between them). They should be close-fitting.
MOVING THE LIFTER TO THE WORK AREA
1.- Without the load:
1.1.- In vertical position, using the four wheels on the base steering with the help of the manoeuvring
handle.
1.2.- In horizontal position, using the upper and large lower transportation wheels found on the
manoeuvring handle. It is very important that you ensure the profiles are locked with the blocking hook before
the TORO lifter is put into the horizontal position. If this is not done, the telescopic profiles may slide and unfold
and could cause serious injury.
2.- With the load:
Your TORO lifter is designed to be able to be moved with a load. To do this is imperative that you follow this
recommendations:
- Always place the load in the lowest possible position before moving the lifter.
- Make sure the area is levelled and clear of obstructions.
- Ensure the load is secure and properly balanced.
- Keep personnel away from the lifter with the load and always behind the operator’s position.
- Move the lifter slowly, avoiding sudden movements.
- Front stabilizer legs and side outriggers must be always fully unfolded and levelled. For better stability,
front stabilizer legs must be fully extended to maximum length.
WARNING! Moving the lifter with elevated loads should be contained to short distances.
RAISING THE LOAD
Place the working load on the forks as close to the lifter as possible, making sure that the load is totally centred
on the forks. Secure the load using slings, cables, chains, etc. Note: The maximum load of the lifter depends on
the distance from the mast that the load is placed on the forks (consult the LOAD ALONG THE FORK CHART in
the ANNEX).
WARNING!
* If the load isn’t correctly placed on the forks this could cause a serious accident, or even death.
* Ensure that the load you wish to raise does not exceed the rated load capacity recommended by the
manufacturer.
* Ensure the profile blocking hook is not engaged.
* When the TORO lifter is raised over 6.5 m, the minimum load will be 50 kg. For more information, consult the
manufacturer.
1.- To start to raise the load, turn the winch handle in clockwise direction and the profiles will be lifted, making
sure the cable is wound onto the drum in an even a tidy fashion. The profiles can unfold in any order.
2.- When you reach the desired height stop turning the winch handles and the winch will hold the profiles in
place.
IMPORTANT: Stop turning the winch handles when you notice that the movement becomes stiff. This indicates
that the lifter has reached its maximum height. VERY DANGEROUS: Forcing the winch at this point could cause
serious internal damage to the lifter.
