5.3.4 Depositing a load from the side
WARNING!
Depositing loads can be hazardous
A storage location that is unsuitable for the load can become damaged when
depositing the load. Neighbouring rack components can also be damaged.
u
Deposit the load only in locations that are suitable for storage (in terms of
dimensions and capacity).
CAUTION!
Positioning or blocking the load handler
The lift chains may sag when positioning or blocking the load handler. There is a risk
of the load handler dropping suddenly once no longer supported or when the block is
released. If the load handler drops suddenly, the lift chains or hydraulic hoses may
become damaged.
u
When lowering the load handler, ensure that the lift chains are not resting on
anything and are slack.
u
Raise the load handler carefully until the lift chains are tensioned and not resting
on anything.
u
When raising the load handler, ensure that the hydraulic hoses are located in their
guides.
u
In the event of a block, raise the load handler carefully until the lift chains are
retensioned. Check the cause of the block and rectify, if necessary.
NOTICE
Loads must not be deposited on travel or escape routes, in front of safety
mechanisms or operating equipment that must be accessible at all times.
